Tabletop Roleplaying

Experiences of play in which you adopt a role not reflective of yourself and explore an evolving narrative.
Description

Tabletop Roleplaying is a community focused on both traditional and nontraditional tabletop role-playing games in the vein of Dungeons & Dragons, Alien the RPG, Lancer, and even less traditional GM-less systems like Microscope, Eternal Contenders, or Happy Birthday, Robot! Tabletop wargames with an RPG twist like 5150 or All Things Zombie are also on-topic.

Forum-based games which don't have an agreed-upon set of rules used for resolving narrative conflicts between players are not on-topic, and neither are machine-moderated and resolved games.

Rules

- Please stay on topic.

- Keep personal attacks to a minimum.

- Disagreements are normal but not more important than conversations.

- The Administrators reserve the right to include or exclude any line of conversation – but probably won't.

- Revealing your joy is more effective than endless complaint.

We need to talk about something very clearly. And that is that role-playing games are not a hard technology. They are not like a wing, which has a very clear metric of success. It is foolish and ultimately

I haven't yet fully finished writing the rules for combat, in part because I'm rusty with rules writing and I'm having a hard time making myself clearly articulate. However, I've now got a system that
