New DMG Reloaded Handout: Methods
Added 2024-11-25 22:56:19 +0000 UTCThe newest installation of the DMG Reloaded, my prototype textbook on TTRPG game and narrative design theory, is now available via the Bronze Masterpost.
This chapter, titled Methods, discusses how verbs allow players to impact the game state, how the evolution of the game state ties into the players' goals, how the goal-strategy-tactic-verb framework fosters agency and gameplay, and how to maximize player agency and depth of gameplay.
Thank you for your patience as I've worked to develop this new release—this chapter in particular has taken three to four full revisions, and it's only with this latest iteration that I've finally felt satisfied with the theoretical foundations I'm trying to develop and express here.
As always, I welcome your questions and feedback regarding this new release, and I hope you enjoy!
Cheers,
Dragna
