What about GILFs?

One of my favorite podcasts, High Rollers (sadly stuck in Hasbro Hell) uses “fate dice”, a set of d6s rolled at the start of each session, that can be used by the players (high rolls) or the DM (low rolls) to influence other rolls and situations, but doing so moves the die into the opposite pool.
I do wish both sides interacted with them more though. It’s a cool idea.
I think they got used the most during the window of time when the DM let the players spend them after seeing a roll (but before knowing the result). They get squelched by forgetfulness and what-if-I-need-it-later-itis.
Sure, adding them then probably ruins the balance, but fun is more important than balance.

Like the Fate system!
I like systems that are player-driven, like Dungeon World. Instead of me putting a bunch of traps into place and hoping you walk into them, the complication of you rolling a failure on something else might mean there’s a trap there.
“Are there any traps there?” “You tell me.”

I meant like, PBTA or Daggerheart

Oh, so you moved to a GOOD system. :p

For anyone who hasn’t heard, Dana Terrace and her team (from The Owl House) have put out a pilot for their new show: Knights of Guinevere. I highly recommend it, and please spread the word.

Hey, that’s me in Frosthaven!
I do not play tanks.

Magic Weapon is a pretty good way to make weapons magical.

Also, in the Apocrypha, childhood Jesus turned a kid he didn’t like into a tree. Quite possibly… a fig tree.

I feel the same about Ticket to Ride. Spend the whole game maybe doing something, maybe just drawing and passing, and then the game ends and somebody wins at random.

But these are good gateway games, games that lead from Monopoly and Snakes and Ladders to games like Betrayal and Root and Gloomhaven.

For the OP I would recommend Spirit Island, which is the perfect subversion of Settlers of Catan. Pass through Puerto Rico if you must (it’s a better game than Catan but yeesh, slavery, and then double-yeesh, casual slavery erasure).

I see the gateway board games but not the advanced ones, why stop when you’re so close?

What’s the community for accidentalpolyamory

You are coming down with me.

As far as I’m concerned, this community exists to deliver me more of this comic

In that case… Dear everybody this reaches: Pathfinder 2 was designed to take the best of D&D 3.5 and the genuinely good parts of 4e. Also D&D has such a thing as *editions*.

I’m surprised that hasn’t lead instead to more people turning towards Pathfinder 2.
