hate end of time narratives, think they are actively harmful i wrote an entire comic about this lol

I've been thinking about the marriage of fantasy and mechanic in rules heavy ttrpgs recently. It often goes from fantasy (the idea of something) > mechanic (how to represent that idea in game). As I've done more and more game design though I think it's a way more mutual process in fact, I think very strongly that it should actually be weighted much more heavily the other way, as in a mechanic creates the fantasy

hello all RPG designers

please put your core dice mechanic within the first 3-10 pages of your book, god DAMN did you know in Exalted 3e they tell you about the dice mechanic on page TWO HUNDRED AND TWELVE
