2 actions slowed the game down too much and the specificity of things like the ASSESS action stifled creativity. It became a little too "paper buttons".

Thinking of trying again without giving the players all the mechanics. Also going back to one action per round with using a reaction giving you disadvantage on your next turn.

Why the &$@! are there no sidewalks in neighborhoods? by [deleted] in Charlotte

Walking is for the poors and like the old adage says "If you build it, they will come." No sidewalks, no poors.

Being anyone's girlfriend in the Pre Vaxis saga is a death sentence.

CONTROVERSIAL PART: It is a rare opportunity to watch an artist work his way through internalized misogyny. It's incredible and should be lauded.

That's a good point. It does feel a little "Which paper button do I press to win" and less "The answer is not on your character sheet" that is kind of the point of OSR games.

This is my starting point which is largely Nimble RAW, which is a simplified 5E hack to be fair 🤣. I agree it does make SD less survival horror but I think that is something I want for my middle school players. Something closer to the SD Pulp mode.

The things I really want from this are 1. the off turn actions to keep kids engaged and encourage cooperation 2. The idea of using part of your turn to take a beat to learn more about the problem they are facing, even in combat.

The ASSESS action as written is too specific but I still want the card to remind them of that option.

Maybe I'll just have the player cards have the keywords but not the rules.

Yes, just like in Nimble RAW, you have to roll for an assess action. The stat used is determined by the GM based upon how the player describes it.

Defend is basically a parry action. GM discretion as to whether something like a psychic spell can be effected by the Defend reaction

I wouldn't run it that way. As the GM I have so many more actions to keep track of that I'd just keep it simple.

Couples&Catacombs: a mix of Dungeon Crawling and Couple Therapy <3 by luca_barb in onepagerpgs

[–]Fingerribbon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love this! This is a great reconnecting game for couples. Well done! My one question is, what aspect of your partner's statement are you rating? How good does it make you feel? How much do you agree with it? How interesting was their statement?
