Blades in the dark, the Forged in the dark games, or White lies have a way to do this.

First, the character do the plan, not the players. It means that the planning phase is just an ellipse and players have a limited flashback possibilities (ah yes, but in fact it was a possibility so my character knows that … or has the need tool to …) and they use clocks (4 to 8 pieces pies that are filled step by step, ok so one more tick on the “general red alert” clock, only to remaining).

In this context, who would write in letters of fire “We apologize for the inconvenience”? 😁

Why not rolling advantage with two d20 at once? Why playing DnD only? I needed 2d10 to play Ironsworn 10d10 for COPS, 2d6 for Dungeon World, 4d6 for Fate, 10d6 for Shadowrun, …

Oh, no. Not again.

I am searching for a game with pirates and I am seriously tempted by Sea of Dead Men, a pirate flavor of Blades in the dark.

+1 for Scum and Villainy

I am currently reading Cryptomancer, a game with crystals to do kind of Internet things.

I had such player at my table but it was more that they could ignore what they knew. So they still were doing perception checks and I was still responding but randomly, without saying it.

Once, for a critical failure on a perception check, I said they saw the lord was too bright, too clean, and wait are those scales? Could be a dragonborn or even more? They spend the full enquiry rejecting the possibility to have a dragon in disguise. Sad for them.

Yes. Different colors or different digits (1, 2, 3, … and 10, 20, 30, …).

It always disappoints me when I think of this, and this community which has been neglected, mocked, … is unable to learn that those behaviours are bad. It’s not all of them, sure. But they should unite against toxic masculinity behaviours. And they don’t. People don’t learn enough.

Is it what they use for campaign 3 or is there a side campaign for it?

If inly they could have a mastodon account.

Is this table somewhere online? I would use it for sure.

You can. And by the way, check how French are doing accent in their series. Spoiler: they don’t. It’s seen as racist. Yes, the way other people are cherry picking other accents is seen as racist. Roger Murtaugh has no accent for example.

Of course, it’s for fun you do it. Of course we still do funny things with accents. But in little groups where the context is clear (for fun or a group of racist shitbags). To quote a dead man (Desproges): “you can laugh about everything but not with everyone”. Thus not on a broadcasted channel.

Just remember that there are other cultures.

Hey, you see. I haven’t been offensive. It’s because I think that some times, it’s good to explain things in a detached way. Now, I can say that discussions about racism is just a joke in (current, let’s see if something better comes next) DnD. Not sure that accent is the problem: even when Darth Vador has a German accent to put a biiig clue of how the empire looks like the Nazis people are able to miss it.

Please an RPG not DnD. Try to break free from this monoculture.
