@benni @Terael cool. Ich bastel immer mal wieder an einem regelleichten #fantasyheartbreaker, bei dem vier archetypische „vocations“ statt Klassen gibt: Warrior, Sorcerer, Thief, Wise. Man verteilt zu Spielbeginn X Punkte (Ranks) auf die Vocations und ernennt eine davon zur „True Vocation“. Die Ränge kann man dann bei vocation-affinen Aktionen für Advantages (2 mal Würfeln) verausgaben oder vocation-spezifische Effekte auslösen: warrior = mehr damage, etc. 1/2

Guest Chris O’Neill of 9th Level Games explains to Danielle how his latest RPG using the Polymorph system, Mazes, avoided being a #fantasyheartbreaker.

#devdiary What to do now? The minimum viable product for the website is now working. Now I need a #playtesting for the actual system. If you are interested in playtesting a new D&Dalike #ttrpg that has some new mechanics. Well, new to a D&Dalike. Hopefully it won't be a #FantasyHeartbreaker

I am starting a journal following my development of my new #FantasyHeartbreaker codenamed Neosys over at my tumblr. www.tumblr.com/tyson-ot-nw/706267172500062208/ I will probably cross-post links to it here.

Is it still a #FantasyHeartbreaker if you want to focus on something other than looting forgotten treasures and slaying dangerous creatures?

If you want "dungeons" to be less like enemy bases to invade or high-risk, high-reward deathtraps to brave, and more like Star Trek planets of the week?

If actually, you *like* safe, reliable spellcasting, and want it sufficiently analyzed?

If you want brains to be glorified instead of brawn (even brawn you need to be brainy for like attack spells)?

4 nights ago I couldn't sleep. After 34 hours of furious writing spread over those four days I have a minimum viable product for #playtesting.

Is it a pointless effort that will lead to nothing but a #FantasyHeartbreaker? Possibly.

Is it one among thousands launched in the last week? Definately.

But did I need to do it. Yeah, I think I did.

If you are interested in taking a look at a stripped down but not totally rules light. DM me. I'll send you a link.

I could use eyes other than mine.
