Thanks for coming to the stream! Finished episode 3 of The Walking Dead. Really awful choices were made, especially how to assure Clementine when cutting her hair!

A screenshot from a livestream by the VTuber Monz Mont. On the upper left corner is a scene from the video game, The Walking Dead, where Lee is giving a haircut to Clementine. There are four choices at the bottom of the game screen, clockwise from the top: "Yeah, of course."; "How hard can it be?"; "Nope. No idea."; and "...".

As we head into the final hours of the campaign, here's another sheet of finished paper minis!

Fantasy TTRPGs beyond DnD

I’ve been playing DnD for quite a few years now and blogged about my DnD characters about a year ago. A lot of roleplayers are currently going through a bit of DnD fatigue – and while I agree that the combat in DnD can be tedious and frustrating, I still think it’s one of the best systems for long, epic campaigns because the sense of progression you get in DnD is excellent.

However, ever […]

Who in Control?

Among those who play TTRPGs, there is strong debate who is in control of the game. Does the GM have absolute control. Where does the players fit into this dynamic? How does the game mechanics make everything work? A simple answer is that there is no absolute controller. Every member will influence every aspect of the overall game.

Controller GM

Many GMs, especially the inexperienced ones, will claim that they have total control of their world. This is true of the initial design. Even then, things get questionable. During this first phase, the GM has yet to introduce the player characters. When those PCs are introduced, they will be free to make their changes in the manner they wish. They can do this despite what the GM desires. Those changes need to be considered the same way any free-thinking person in that society would. Basically, the GM needs to step away from his desires and start thinking like someone would who was raised there. Essentially, the GM is not the total ruler that many would like others to assume.

Player Masters

Since players have so much influence on how things develop within the game, they believe they are invulnerable. They also consider themselves indispensable for the game. Every time they take any action, no matter how minor, is essentially an act of god within the game. Even when there is a “god bolt” that incinerates everything for several miles, they will get out with only scratches. They walk unannounced into the King’s Chamber and be granted immediate audience. According to the society in the game, the PCs are normal members of their level. In a level-based game, at level 1-5, they would be the town heroes. They are those that will be seen defending the local village or at most a decent sized town. The large city will have many heroes at the next level defending it. This next level is 6-11 where they are realm defenders. Those defenders travel large areas and stop real threats that trouble entire armies. It is at this point that most campaigns will end. After them we get those defend the country for level 12-16. Then we get the final group at level 17+. These heroes will have the capacity to deal with the gods on their own realms. If the game does not use levels, they will have different ways of handling progression. Most of them will not allow the PCs to become so overpowered. Alternatively, they start that way and have the problems worked into their mechanics.

Allpowerful Mechanics

The players and GMs will need to refer back to the game when they have some problem. How many dice will this gun have upon a hit? How should we handle this chase? How does invisibility work? How can everyone get from Earth to planet Emaluras (TOI-1203 b)? the best way to answer these and other questions would be looking at the game mechanics. Considering this, one would assume that the game will take the greatest position upon every gamer’s toolkit. The players will have all their questions answered in their player manual. The game master has a similar game master guide that deals with their issues. Between these two, every issue that arise will be answered. Nonetheless, there is the issue of letting the story trump the mechanics. If a conflict arises between mechanics and story, let the players act. This is allowed if it creates no problem. This holds true even if the mechanics claim the action should be impossible. An example is if the player makes a grandiose attack upon the big bad evil guy (BBEG). The rules state that certain skills are needed that he does not have. Let him either get the attack from straight stats or apply some defined penalty.

Verdict?

The final determination for who gets to be in charge will go to everyone. The GM will have those abilities that the players want him to have. The GM must take the time and effort to create the game world. Without this, the players cannot have their game. The GM must also keep the enjoyment. Even the mechanics are important since they offer the groundwork that everyone is building upon to make their gameworld. Each part will have their strengths and weaknesses that complement each other. If any one member is removed, the entire foundation is weakened and their ability to tell their stories will suffer.

Hey! I want to share a look at the process of the cover I made for Junk City's Swirling Sewers pamphlet. It's an honor to work with @losing and @gamesomnivorous on this project!
And yes, I was inspired by the famous Jaws' poster :-) 🦈
