Mostly Splatoon 3 (gotta keep up my catalogue progress!), but I’ll probably put more time into Palia. It’s a bit of a mess (plenty of bugs, and pretty choppy while docked), but it’s charming enough to keep me loving it.
I also have to make more progress towards finishing Tears of the Kingdom.
I’ve always been a fan of how German libraries treat Nazi-related works: still available, but in the Giftschrank or “poison cabinet”. That way, you can limit access to trusted researchers. It’s a good compromise between the importance of access to knowledge and acknowledging the danger of that level of hate.
So I think I’m looking for an TTRPG system that would essentially run a soap opera. Rules light is a plus, really something from the old “one-page rpgs” would probably be perfect. I want to focus on the narrative part and have a simple resolution mechanic that’s favors social encounters because combat isn’t part of the...
This actually really works well, because the roll modifier is based on questions. Like if you want to manipulate a social superior, you ask “Have you caught them in a good mood”, “Does your well-being directly affect theirs?”, and another “class”-specific (actually a “playbook”, but similar) question. Each “Yes” gets a +1 to the die roll. So it’s all based on role play!
Similar to other PBTA games, in that you just have harm moves, but there’s a lot more of them. Most are keyed to your weapon, so you could only use Cleave (smash up armour) if you had a large sword, for example. The basic weapon moves include a nice grapple move that also works for quick duels.
There’s enough options to set your Vagabond apart, while not being too complicated. I was able to make a real wrecking ball of an owl knight (FOR JUSTICE!)
