A better way to roll the dice
Added 2023-02-08 07:59:11 +0000 UTCI've always loved console role playing games and got instantly hooked on AD&D from the first moment I was mistakenly invited to a friend's house on game night - I was the worst paladin ever. As the years and editions passed by I found more to love and more to lament about the typical pen and paper system. With Framework I feel I've finally struck a balance between complexity, realism, and player achievement.
Complexity is kept simple with a proficiency system for everything ranking from d4-d12.
Realism is kept in the game by eliminating Hit Points and taking descriptive limb damage instead. Spell casting wrecks the mind instead of a magic pool or spell slots (if you go overboard)
Player Achievement is acknowledged through increasing proficiency though use, and proficient action specializations.
Support me today and start playing either as soon as this manages to replace my real job, or I find enough free time to complete a playable alpha - whichever comes first.
