Random idea for high-lethality D&D campaigns: Character death unlocks new classes and races.
Random idea for high-lethality D&D campaigns: Character death unlocks new classes and races. Maybe useful in “special snowflake” campaigns where no one reads your carefully crafted setting material.

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.
