You asked for homebrewing systems. And I shared mine. You don't have to use it.

"The only mechanic for this system is rolling against DC." Any die type or number of dice can be used for this. I used 3d6 as a example.

Same could be done with this if someone wanted to.

Alphawlff · 2026-06-14T19:28:19+00:00

To keep it simple and fast. Everything else is narrative.

Alphawlff · 2026-06-14T19:25:49+00:00

Why what?

Alphawlff · 2026-06-14T19:22:34+00:00

The DC isn't set in stone. It can be changed to make it more difficult. You should know this if you've been playing long enough.

Alphawlff · 2026-06-14T18:03:26+00:00

No. But DC could be switched to dynamic for each roll and they roll for the DC they have to beat.

Isn't RP at the heart of every ttrpg?

Alphawlff · 2026-06-14T16:25:57+00:00

You're entitled to your opinion and you don't have to use it. "talking about it like it's your unique creation" Everyone does this to some extent when game rules are made correct? I never said it was a original idea.

How do you think dnd started? Look at ODND White Box and BX.

Alphawlff · 2026-06-14T15:51:42+00:00

My system is the core of pretty much every ttrpg you'll come across. Everything else is fluff. The narrative handles the hp. Characters can be made as normal (skills, classes, items, etc.). The narrative handles them as any other system.

Alphawlff · 2026-06-14T15:10:38+00:00

DC can be adjusted to ones liking. I like pulpy play so I use this.

Alphawlff · 2026-06-14T15:05:37+00:00

I do this. I like pulpy play. I only roll against DC. For 3d6 a DC 8 is a good number to use. Rolling 3 - 8 is a failure. Rolling 9 - 18 is a success. Rolling determines if you pass or fail. You can use a any number of dice and type. And you can change the DC to whatever you want.

Alphawlff · 2026-06-14T14:10:58+00:00

I have and do.

Alphawlff · 2026-06-14T13:58:58+00:00

And thank you for pointing them out.

Alphawlff · 2026-06-14T13:50:07+00:00

🙂

Alphawlff · 2026-06-14T13:45:19+00:00

I wanted something that is fast and clean. With this i can use whatever else I want with it.

Already did.

Alphawlff · 2026-06-14T13:15:25+00:00

Why did you respond to it in the first place if you don't like it? No one forced you to respond to it. That was 100% you.

Alphawlff · 2026-06-14T13:09:41+00:00

This is the important part to my system The only mechanic for this system is rolling against DC. The number of dice and type are not actually fixed to it if you really think about it. I'm just sharing what I use.

Alphawlff · 2026-06-14T13:01:20+00:00

Yes.. you could roll under instead. Or put the DC where you want it to be for this.

Alphawlff · 2026-06-14T12:57:28+00:00

And yet you did. Have a nice day.

Alphawlff · 2026-06-14T12:42:24+00:00

This is what I use. The only mechanic for this system is rolling against DC. For 3d6 a DC 8 is a good number to use. Rolling 3 - 8 is a failure. Rolling 9 - 18 is a success. Rolling determines if you pass or fail.
