Xauri'EL ZwaanI've tried getting a community of people together to critique Age of Aquarius, I've tried sending it to individuals looking for feedback, so here's what I'm going to do. I'm going to just throw Age of Aquarius out there chapter by chapter and invite public comment on it.If you are interested in critiquing (and perhaps playtesting) a radical anti-capitalist contemporary RPG based on the Apocalypse Engine, please follow my account and bookmark this thread. I'm going to put the introduction up right away.Elevator pitch: it's a few years in the future, and magic is returning to the world. Billionaires are turning into dragons, and ordinary people are awakening into legend-born -- developing spontaneous magical abilities, bizarre new physical forms, and alien neurodivergent thought processes. In a world that has been sent spinning on its axis, your characters must cope with radical change, face the responsibility that comes with sudden power, build community and solidarity, and decide what kind of future they want to fight for.You may post your comments here, or you may email me privately at xauriel@xaurielzwaan.ca. Also please email me if you want comment permission on the document. Be aware, assholes will be blocked with prejudice; I'm pretty tough but please be kind.<a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/TTRPG" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TTRPG</a> <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/PbtA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#PbtA</a> <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/Anticapitalist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Anticapitalist</a> <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/Fantasy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Fantasy</a>

Hrefna (DHC)Really I think I'd find <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Daggerheart" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Daggerheart</a> revolutionary if I were trying it 20—or even 10—years ago. But today it feels weirdly rules heavy and crunchy in ways that I don't like. It places rules where it doesn't feel like there needs to be rules (e.g., a lot of the mechanics around rest actions, which feels like it is borrowing from the kinds of standardization in 4e) and doesn't have them where it feels it needs them (e.g., to create a turn order for fairness, instead it seems to effectively punish players who tend to let others go first ).<a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Cypher" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Cypher</a> is my favorite system. <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/PbtA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#PbtA</a> is extremely useful. <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Pathfinder" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Pathfinder</a> has its place. <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/DnD5e" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DnD5e</a> is basically usable and widely understood.But I don't really… have a use for Daggerheart in its current form? There's clearly a lot of passion in it, but I just can't find a place for it versus other systems.

cybergoths<a href="https://dice.camp/@artemis" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@artemis</a> Finally, it may be worth checking out Grimwild. That’s <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/FitD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FitD</a> rather than <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/PbtA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#PbtA</a> but on an initial read it does seem to do something very D&D like. I think there is a PWYW version on DTRPG if you want to look (and they’re currently running a second crowdfunding to expand the print run).

Bodo Heye<a href="https://dice.camp/@artemis" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@artemis</a> I played a lot of <a href="https://rollenspiel.social/tags/dungeonworld" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#dungeonworld</a> in the last decade, before moving on into the <a href="https://rollenspiel.social/tags/osr" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#osr</a> where I found what I want from a game of <a href="https://rollenspiel.social/tags/dnd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#dnd</a> While Dungeon World might appear clunky compared to modern <a href="https://rollenspiel.social/tags/pbta" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#pbta</a> games, I really enjoyed the way the game attempts to emulate dnd as a genre. Well-suited for a group of players who are into classic dnd tropes, and buy in for distributed narrative control of the emergent fiction 1/2

Éric Paquette<a href="https://dice.camp/@artemis" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@artemis</a> For fantasy adventure campaigns using <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/PBtA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#PBtA</a> I enjoyed Fellowship. That game has fun tools to help for a campaign over one-shots. Also, the GM gets to level up their main antagonists as the campaign advances. <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/ttrpg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ttrpg</a>

ArtemisHas anyone played Dungeon World? I'm reading the rules because I'm looking for alternatives for our D&D group that might let us have the vibes we love from 5e without some of the drawbacks (such as excessive prep time for the DM).I understand the mechanical differences, but how does playing it *feel*, compared to playing 5e? Is it good vehicle for fantasy adventure roleplay?<a href="https://dice.camp/tags/PbtA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#PbtA</a> <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/DungeonWorld" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DungeonWorld</a> <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/ttrpg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ttrpg</a>

Tim_EagonA personal pet peeve of mine when it comes to games Powered by the Apocalypse is that the mechanical things that players do and the things that the MCs do are both called “moves” even though they are very different from each other (at least in my mind).<a href="https://dice.camp/tags/TTRPG" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TTRPG</a> <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/PBTA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#PBTA</a>
