@radix I should ask my GM more about this, b/c I think he adapted a system he found from... somewhere? Will ask for source.

@radix
4) Roll dice or roleplay as applicable (roll Perception to look for markers/roll Survival to spot or build shelter/INTENSE EMOTIONAL ROLEPLAY.)
5) Then it goes to the next player in the order.
6) Repeat till enough time/distance/emotional milestones have been hit. GM optionally can throw in a curveball (stumbled across ruins! sudden change of plans!)

We played it to avoid combat entirely, and it also let us do some of that sweet character development on the way!

@radix Sure! So it went something like this (after we had determined where we were going etc.):

1) Players roll initiative to determine order
2) In turn, each player comes up with an obstacle (e.g. we've lost the path! the weather gets bad! my char suddenly learns of a family crisis!)
3) GM (and players) devise a suitable method to solve it (search for markers/look for shelter/have intense crisis of loyalties)
(...cont'd)

oh god i also learned of the #gaming and #games hashtag THERE ARE SO MANY

hi! I'm currently playing Horizon Zero Dawn: Extreme Robot Photography edition, where I sneak up on robits and take pretty pictures of them (and then they usually stomp me :c )

Am also curating a list of less-well-known games w/ diverse casts and perspectives. I've a WIP list around here somewhere...

@Brandobin lol i know but i was wondering if the mispelled tag had its own following!

Horizon Zero Dawn: Extreme Robot Photography edition (a.k.a. instead of sneaking up to kill robots, I sneak up to take pics of robots and then they (usually) kill me)

But I'm also kind of sort of working on putting together a list of games w/ diverse casts and perspectives for an archive at my institution, so dipping back into older games I had heard of but not played.

also here's my #gamerec of the day? check out Queers in Love at the End of the World - 10sec, brower-based. http://auntiepixelante.com/endoftheworld/ #gaming

@radix idk how useful this is but our DM had an exploration mechanic that was semi-collaborative, in order to make the bits of D&D where you're moving from A to B more interesting

*cough* let's do this again. Hi #gameing, what's up?

i just realised tags are a thing so let's make some #introductions :)
