Tonight, my "Lethal Damage" 13th Age campaign draws to a close.
Originally shared by Jonathan Tweet Tonight, my "Lethal Damage" 13th Age campaign draws to a close. Meanwhile, the guys are work have talked me into running a couple D&D sessions for them. That was the day 13th Age was announced, and they're happy to play 13th Age instead. That will be my "Great Center" campaign, based in the imperial capital of Axis, the center of the world. It's my opportunity to explore the setting from yet another perspective.

That is my likely inaccurate rendering that I nevertheless find useful as a way to figure out what people are primarily looking for in a game.
La-la-la! I don't care!
ReplyDeleteArgh, like the "character-based" vs. "story-based" wars where many of us wondered Wtf that even meant and why it was worth fighting over different play styles.
ReplyDeleteI get the sense that people are not understanding what you're doing.
ReplyDeleteAccording to postmodernism Narratives do not exist. When will TTRPG game design adopt postmodernism?
ReplyDeleteA stronger model was introduced back in 2006 anyways

Nerds, man.
ReplyDeleteRSP is much better, I'm going to use that from now on.
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen Office Space in a while so i don't recall the specific context of this image but that must be part of the joke...
ReplyDeleteAlso, narratives exist, they are just socially constructed, if we wanna get postmodern.
This thread delivers on the meta-lulz.
