Basic descriptions are necessary for collaborative storytelling - eviltoast

Just a vibe check of the Lemmy community with a deliberately exaggerated meme.

A reddit post would get flooded with argumentative mini-essays from folks who can’t string together 5 words in-character.

    Dungeons: The Dragoning 40,000 is a d10 dice pool game with “stunt dice”

    If you make any attempt at all to describe your action in-character (such as your example), you got +1 die

    If your description was especially cool, or interacted with the environment in some way, you get +2 dice instead (I guess technically your example would likely be here, because a chair is part of the environment, probably)

    And “crowning moments”, the kind of really hype action that gets the whole table invested, the sort of thing that happens once or twice a session at most, earn +3 dice

    It really helps keep people invested in the role play
