The newest map for my OD&D dungeon.
My dreams of a Nomic - D&D hybrid are closer than I thought.
Now you've done it. We're just going to have to revert to the OG of parliamentary procedures…
😆 Finally a game that enables Fiat by committee.

This discussion of OSR is really interesting, there are lots of good points, but I'm intrigued by this insistence that "game design on the fly" is inherently improper or outside of the story of the game being played.
Nomic is a game where the whole story of the game is "game design." Why not rpgs?

What's happening in that passage, which the author seems to be totally unaware of for some baffling reason, is that they're doing game design ON THE FLY - they're figuring out if a character can hide in a box when you should already have procedures on that because the game is about doing Alien!

Mechanics are these amazing little mental machines - little bits of text that run in your brain and use random numbers or tokens or points or whatever to generate story. They are NOT the enemy! They're your lever, your wrench, your fulcrum, your inclined plane, everything you need to tell a story!

I enjoy that the reason there are so many random castles in the wilderness in OD&D is for tax avoidance

I enjoy the deterministic procedures in OD&D, something that has been lost in favour of stochastic elements. Knowing that a wizard will put a geas on a party if they can't pay up gives a heap of concrete info about how the game world operates

We're making dungeon poems now y'all. Just the barest hint of dungeon with no maps or tables, sorry, but also not sorry.

It's a pocketmod, it's pages for screen-viewing, it makes sense? No scratch that last one. There is birdsong down there in the Earth.
