Hey #TTRPGCommunity! Time for a little debate!

What’s the one thing every TTRPG should have to make it better? Is it a specific mechanic? A narrative tool? A quirky rule? Or maybe just something that makes players’ eyes light up? Tell us!

Most of y'all know what kind of #TTRPG games I write, #RPGDesign thoughts I post, etc at this point. I'm looking at my monstrous slushpile and frozen by choice paralysis picking my next blog topics. What kind of stuff would you like to hear me ramble about? What should I post about next?

So my rebuttal/defense series is like, a whole series now I guess. By request, a defense of optional rules against common criticisms. Come see why optional rules can be a glorious thing that enriches the #TTRPG experience.

One of my favorite things in standard Motif builds is people discovering that they can wear someone down with social efforts as much as (if not even better than) coming to blows. What's one of your favorite things about your designs?

@tabletopic They're really great in Chill and other Pacesetter games, one quick roll, look up, resolve most combat or other actions. The new Pacesetter (Goblinoid) games are the same.

The TSR ones were a little more fiddly, but at least they do give you result quality without too much work. MSH works OK, GW 3E was eh, SF Zeb's Guide was awful, added nothing to the game.

But I've never been tempted to remake them in my own designs.

What are your opinions about so-called "all-in-one" systems, such as Pacesetter's, from way back in the stone age? Personally, I find the idea of them more compelling than the implementations I've seen, so far. Do you use them? Do you like them? #rpgdesign #ttrpg
