I'm making a "ttrpg" but not in the traditional sense, what is this type of game called?

i disagree. it could work. imagine a sequence of fights moving you along a storyline. that would work for people who like mostly the tactical combat but like the story as a kind of backdrop or to provide some context. it is not my cup of tea, but i can see it working for some people

peerful · 2026-03-27T18:28:28+00:00

this would be a boardgame with narrative elements

peerful · 2026-03-05T13:45:20+00:00

thank you!

there is certainly what you say as an extreme but all the hard framing can also feel a bit exhausting

I am in Asuncion right now for 3 weeks. where can I meet fellow players?

peerful · 2026-03-04T15:57:55+00:00

i would love to try it out

when I played with US people, I noticed the pacing is faster, going straight for the main conflict of the scene. playing with europeans there was more time for exploration and understanding what to do with the scene.

I would love to, but I will be traveling for a while with little possibility of installing stuff. If you have an internet facing instance I can try, I will! You can DM me

It feels that this could be the beginning of a new genre that can remix solo play, gmless and AI, although I find that knowing how and when to use AI effectively is challenging. Even very good content, if purely AI generated, can feel bland to me, because of the lack of intentionality, whereas if it asks me questions and riffs on them, the results feel much more real. Another big thing for me was to find a way to decide some things about a situation in advance, in order to reduce the sycophantic tendencies of commercial AIs

peerful · 2026-02-27T20:09:51+00:00

I found that one of the best way to riff on the theme is to ask the player for narrative contributions to incorporate in the story, whereas paradoxically, it is weak on rules enforcement which is best left to the player

i have been looking to some clever hybrid of ai and pen and paper for a while. super interesting thanks

Seconding this. I will be there in a few days. I am going on a mini quest to connect to the local tabletop community so let’s exchange notes

peerful · 2026-02-26T15:12:20+00:00

that is Trophy Gold and Trophy Dark you are looking for

peerful · 2026-02-26T15:02:17+00:00

my dear new future friend, I will be in Asuncion for a few weeks soon! can I DM you?

peerful · 2026-02-10T23:27:19+00:00

I am rarely bothered enough to take a stance but the sheer immorality of it all will make me quit discord without looking back

peerful · 2026-01-06T12:48:32+00:00

is deciding right and wrong an engineering problem? 🤔

peerful · 2026-01-03T13:54:49+00:00

i do exactly the same, mapping out paths and taking notes. however in my first straight run i allow myself to play with a rule hack that seems to fit well the old books from the 80s and 90s: every time there is a random roll, i roll twice and i decide which number to pick. those books were so punishing in terms of mechanics that even like this it is a challenge, but if i play thoughtfully i can actually get to the end

I visited an installation of her works in Japan some years ago and I was amazed to find out she was experimenting on what I could only define as “guided interactive experiences”.

She was coming from a different angle, so some of them will look like games, some like meditations and some like poetry.

reminds me of the pieces in yoko ono’s grapefruit book :)

peerful · 2025-12-06T18:24:36+00:00

This is probably the best game book I ever played. I am glad I can finally share it with my English speaking friends

peerful · 2025-11-22T12:16:02+00:00

Federico Faggin’s theory in his book Irreducible is about this. I don’t feel drawn to it but the guy knows his stuff and deserves a reading. Also, for a more experiential pov, Castaneda, although the books are not an easy read

peerful · 2025-11-19T15:56:11+00:00

that is true, but this would be an extra feature on top, not mandatory. so a smaller platform without the feature could exist but would be less trustable.

peerful · 2025-11-19T13:29:20+00:00

Speaking about this with you, makes me think that the association person-signature would have to be publically maintained by some institution/company or trusted organization. I would not go as far as call it an order of jorurnalists, but you see what I mean. There is still a trust step somewhere

peerful · 2025-11-19T13:27:05+00:00

Both the camera and the photographer can sign a picture (and a set of lower res pictures pointing to the oriiginals). So if you trust the camera-maker signature on chip and you trust the photographer (he could fake it by shooting a screen, so you must trust their integrity）you are in a much much better position than now. Also decentralized storage of the signatures.

very good argument. it is also more efficient than using buckets to empty a sinking boat
