Hello Bay 12! I accidently found a game that caught my attention today, and I thought I should share it with you.

This is basically dungeons and dragons simplified drastically. You only have three stats to manage, and little side traits which add minor bonuses to certain rolls. The rules are here: http://fabletop.com/help/basic-rules

There really aren't that many rules, though. Combat is simple so as to move quickly, and there are a lot of pre built game boards to play around with.

You don't really have weapons or armor, but I might switch that up a little bit.*

*Yes, I did want to GM some games for us, some time! I want 4ish players, but since combat is so simple, more might be acceptable. I urge anyone who is interested to look at the rules, let me know, and begin discussion on a time to play that might work for some people! For me personally, I have very flexible times every day of the week save for saturday until summer is over. The game is simple enough for text-only playing, but I would love to do it with voice, as well. Anywho, discuss, my friends!

Tried it out, can confirm it's pretty fun.

I am kind of at the opinion that if you need to make things that simple... that maybe FateRPG might work better.

Isn't FateRPG offline though? This one looks like an online browser based RPG?

I do like the look of it a lot, although without loot/weapons/armour it might get a bit dull!

I'm intrigued. I might have to check this out.

I'll go ahead and PTW to see what comes of this.

>No PC death

Yea, no. Sometimes things are hard for PC's. A few bullets in an unarmored torso should kill most PC's, or seriously incapacitate the particularly tough ones. Else it becomes unrealistic.

I'm not a killer DM, but sometimes death makes the story move forward and provides a good opportunity for roleplaying. It's just a part of the story, though.

The losing XP for defeat is nice, however.

Terrible choices, luck or just plain stupidity leading to PC death is largely what makes tabletop games fun for me so... yeah no...

than again I am also one of those freaks who plays expert terraria and Haven n Hearth so maybe I just like self punishment?  yeah dunno ha
