Keep the idea of the individual Skills but streamline, as you say, the mechanics. I'm used to using a spreadsheet for automatically calculating all the numbers for combat, skill and spell values but that probably isn't a good thing. :)Phergushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06029828649840210384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7652670152568310161.post-69744185364533313952018-01-03T01:55:14.322-07:002018-01-03T01:55:14.322-07:00I think streamlining all skills to give a similar ...I think streamlining all skills to give a similar bonus per rank, and taking out all those "uneven" bumps in the system would be a start. Modern games rely heavily on the idea of one mechanic, and one kind of modifier. D&D5 Advantage mechanic is a good example of that design principle.AndreasDavourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17170806742393291962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7652670152568310161.post-52963269361380621552018-01-02T12:15:00.952-07:002018-01-02T12:15:00.952-07:00That's one of the things that has been bubblin...That's one of the things that has been bubbling up in my mind lately. What would a DQ for today look like? What are the core elements of DQ that make it unique and different? I just need to try and coalesce the thoughts down in writing.Phergushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06029828649840210384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7652670152568310161.post-7420027814009887732018-01-02T11:56:31.725-07:002018-01-02T11:56:31.725-07:00Thanks for the boost, as always!
