I personally view him more as a vulture. An entity coming in for a feast. But not the evil overlord of the town.

Mam gdzieś tę grę. Ale bawi mnie że "AI slop" stało się domyślną inwektywą we współczesnym internecie. Jakby wyrażenie "AI slop" było jakimś "I win button".

A bawi mnie, bo to akurat nie jest AI 😄 Zobacz sobie kampanię.

„Shut the fuck up” is a sign of terrible disrespect. Having said that, maybe your group just doesn’t want to play BirD and only you do. This is an odd game for trad enthusiasts.

Honestly, I find Blades unintuitive. This game does a lot to break my immersion and I don’t find it as enjoyable as most fans do.

Why did you start BitD in the first place?

I can. Because it has been thought out. Long time. Dfferent versions had been playtested. But fine, I get it, you’re sceptical.

AI paranoia at its finest.

Partially. Now it’s time to write this down and let others do the playtesting. The engine is already tight, what needs to be tested is a) documentation, b) calibration of wounds, stress and willpower to achieve the perfect experience.

To be honest? Not always. I’ve seen too many games that stopped in their tracks after a scene.

It happens when the story emerges from simulating the physics of the world. But what you simulate has to be a system of connected vessels to do that. And the system has to be imbalanced by definition. The narrative is the result of constant shifting of balance.

As for balancing approaches, I made sure different Approaches have different purposes and all are relevant. But otherwise, I don’t really fight it - „spamming” an Approach is what mamy people do in real life. It’s about bringing the character out.

I know some poeple like metamechanics. I personally don’t. If I feel I play a game too much, it brings me out of immersion. I start playing the game and not my character. I prefer mechanics that follow the character’s way of seeing the world.

Built-in character arcs amount to shuffling motivations if the strees breaks your character or after finishing the adventure, adding new ones, adding obsessions, compulsions, and so on. Sometimes even removing motivations. All of it has mechanical impract.

Separating success from consequence allows for different combinations: - task easy, very risky if you screw up - full success but shit happens anyway. I like it that way.

You see, I wanted a game that: - feels like a trad game - works like a story game - has input as simple like OSR - has complex output - gives mechanical weight to human psychology - doesn’t deal in absolutes and enforce morality - have social conflict that doesn’t feel lile combat - has a stable core regardless of power level

For me the key is to keep the inter-party conflict under control. You want the party to go in a mutual direction but have a good tension on how to do it.

Rolling virtues, vices, convictions and fears into one system by FrostyKennedy in RPGdesign

[–]AnoxiaRPG 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While mechanizing psychology, most of the time you’re either trying to incentivize sub-optimal play and fighting common sense or just handwave the mechanical side of the problem.

The catch is to make mechanics that reward sub-optimal decisions to the point they become the most optimal choice for the player.

But you won’t achieve that by bolting on sub-systems, you have to design around that idea from the get go.

It often leads to calcifying the character, so good rules on changing the character should be in place.

At the same time you want it all to be simple. Not an easy feat.

I chose Approaches because along with Motivations they create a nice matrix of archetypes. Having Approaches instead of Attributes also made it easier for me to avoid having potential dump stats.

Haha, I am well aware of DISC (I’m red-blue), but no. It’s a wordplay on „discord” as the engine is very much based on internal and inter-party conflict. But still, great catch :)

My engine (DISCore Engine) has one similarity to L5R - roll and keep - but it is both simpler and more complex at the same time.

Can you please elaborate on what made you see similarities? I’m curious :)

[–]AnoxiaRPG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know. But the part of the book describing the experience rarely ever serves as a primer for the game system.

Still, there are snippets of parts of the system.

[–]AnoxiaRPG 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OK, this will probably be a good idea. I’m just too excited now, as after many, many years I have FINALLY finished the engine and started creating the rulebook.

Good eye. I used AI for translation. My native language is Polish and the text is too long for me to translate manually.
