#ttrpgdesign — Public Fediverse posts

I’ve been pondering my TTRPG’s Domain and Faction system for the past few weeks, and just made a major breakthrough with the design that I’m so excited about. Like, something that just makes so much sense with the rest of the system and my stated design goals that is almost embarrassing it took me this long to come up with. Put simply, it’s a way to tie individual character actions (PC or NPC) to the larger faction system, an interaction which has been sort of nebulous until now. #TTRPGDesign

The first thing to know about the CHEATS System is that it's not just another gaming system. It's so much less than that!

I've used it with several different dice resolution schemes. I will tinker with that forever.

It is pretentiously and aggressively backronymed from its PC building blocks:

Core
Hallmarks
Energies
Approaches
Talents
Stuff

It is influenced by everything I've ever read but specifically by #Risus #BladesInTheDark #HarmonyDrive and #MiniBX .
