OOC Thread

OOC Thread...

Hello... basically I liked a lot of the ideas of the PbtA game FARFLUNG (but not all of them), but I realized I didn't want interplanetary adventures, I wanted end-of-time adventures, so I changed the names of some playbooks, changed others in other ways (sometimes by adding elements of VENTURE, a game by Riley Rethal), and for all of them, I went with a more basic way for rolling to see what happens.

So now that's some stuff you know!

And, in case anyone wonders, the Stuff list is (barely) adapted from the PbtA game Uncharted Worlds, which I feel has an excellent Stuff system.

So let's see, Playbooks, Setting, Stats, Doing Things (which I feel sufficiently includes Combat), Leveling Up, Health, Stuff...

Anything I've forgotten...?

I don't have too much PbtA experience (mainly dungeon world) but is there a kind of 'bonds' mechanic?

EDIT: I also don't really see a thread about leveling or how to get XP or something.

Leveling/XP doesn't have its own thread, it's under the STATS thread, bottom of the second post.

I don't do Bonds mechanics in my games because it's so common for players to disappear (sometimes replaced by new players) on RPol that in my opinion Bonds-- again, on RPol, at least-- just lead to frustration more than anything.

Cool, my mistake (for the first point), and a valid reason for the second.
