checking out the new adventure zone now that travis' bad harry potter fanfic is over
Good so far havent gotten through the first episode but the setup is good and I'm looking forward to the execution
The collaborative city/society building thing Really appeals to me. A while back some friends and I had a game we were trying to make where we played as different factions/ classes in a settlement in faerun & evolved with it over time, forged alliances, used dice for resources etc. Mine was Drow, I had lot of big wizardy plans with them. like a magical brotherhood of steel
@abraxas it requires a lot of frontloading exposition and prep but if you have people you think you'll synergize with they will pick up like, 80% at minimum of your hopes for concepts about the setting you were considering backstage before you started. it's a beautiful hybrid of seeing people walk directly into something you were waiting for and then managing to surprise you anyways
@abraxas the quiet year is a really good game to run for one off stories or generation for a larger setting, me and nil hosted a game together a while back and it was 1) the first session i'd ever gm'd, and 2) extremely fun
