OK, I got permission to spew. I (Liv) am currently running the playtest rounds on a diceless/LARP version of Motif. Player facing bidding system for actions. Flat difficulties/spend costs. Similar story pool for bidding on story elements. #TTRPG #indiedev
Did not think I would like the narrator bleed. But it really works. Color me wrong. It was empowering. The resource management tactics are great too. PvP is ugly by raw mechanics (everyone autosuceeds). RP is pushed because of limited resource pools. LOVE IT.
All that to say: Picking up Jim's role on this one and project managing the manuscript for the #Motif Parlour Engine. Fine-tuned for diceless parlour games and #theaterstyle #LARP. A radical rewrite of the diceless system that ran the old Arthur's Legacy game. #TTRPG #indiedev
One of the best things about the #Motif Parlour Engine the Rev cooked up is that *everyone always succeeds at their raw action*. Trying to pick a lock? It's picked. Bidding is paying down the costs and buying up advantages. No bid? Alarms and guards. Middling one? Silent entry.
The same in Like I Give a BLEEP. Mad scientists can do just about anything. You always do it. It's about what it costs or misses. Love it so much. Way more interesting than simple success or failure. Very different way of failing forward and mixed success. #ttrpg #indiegame #trpg
@OregonRolledA20, @olbuddycreates, @MyThunderkind, @rpg_solo, @Tabletoptheory1, @yum_dm, @UKRPGMerryband, @SamuraiTrpg: So far plays solid for Big Damn games and using costs as a dials works for grit & grim. You are all great. Your take on this kind of #TTRPG #gamedesign?
