#TheWindow

A little proof that imitation is flattery - ain’t nothing wrong on this day admitting you’re a fool in love.

What makes #MIMgames #TheWindow a truly great #ttrpg #rpg system is that your character is as you describe. If you can think it up, it's yours. Characters are described with adjectives, not numbers, the same way we describe human characteristics in the real world. There are no limitations on class or skill tree or anything else, really. You can be or do whoever or whatever you want, so long as you can describe it and the GM permits it.

Sadly, the website is defunct, but Internet Archive has it.

50 years later, #DnD is not radically different to its original 1970s roots, because the people in charge of making a new D&D have always made just a slightly different variation of the same paradigms in each version.

By contrast, a game system like #MIMgames #TheWindow delivers a truly great #ttrpg #rpg system without relying on any of the core concepts of #DnD or its progeny.

The rules are free, light, and universal. They are story-driven, not simulation-driven.

was intense and artful. It was a NYC from way before I was born, but parts still recognizable. The suspense was perfect ratcheted.

If you haven't heard of #TheWindow, it's a free #TTRPG from MIMgames that is dice-light, story-heavy, open-ended, and genre-universal, covering everything from fantasy to sci-fi to modern to superhero and anything else you can think up.

The Window definitely deserves more fame.

The website used to be at

mimgames.com/window

but that is apparently no longer online.

If you play the kinds of #RPGs that involve #dice, then I want to direct your attention to #TheDiceLab. I've bought several of their numerically-balanced d20 and d30s, and I'm planning on buying more, as well as some sets of their #OptiDice, which have balanced engravings to make the most fair set of dice it is possible to make. #DnD #ICRPG #TapestryRPG #Pathfinder #TheWindow
