I have forgotten the source, but the idea stuck with me.</p> <p>Various traditions of vanilla fantasy serve as examples of potentially well-understood backdrops, depending on particular audience. The Tolkien-derivative or swords and sorcery in the Leiber/Howard style are two examples. There is something to the formula of a known baseline modified just enough to add interest without becoming overwhelming. Maybe unworthy of being considered an iron rule, but something.</p> <p>This seems similar to the figure/ground distinction in Gestalt psychology. If everything is ground, nothing stands out, leading to boredom. If everything is figure, all is confusion and nothing makes sense. Also: to the neophyte, even vanilla fantasy can seem strange enough while the seasoned player may require excessive marginal weirdness to get a successful hit of strange. Of the people that play fantasy games at least partly for the pleasure of exploring an imaginary world, most seem to be between these extremes, wanting a bit more uniqueness than Tolkien sans serial numbers but a bit less than a setting which avoids all pop culture or mythological landmarks.</p> </div> <footer class="entry-meta"> This entry was posted in <a href="https://www.necropraxis.com/category/uncategorized/" rel="category tag">Uncategorized</a> on <a href="https://www.necropraxis.com/2017/12/05/optimal-strangeness/" title="12:17 pm" rel="bookmark"><time class="entry-date" datetime="2017-12-05T12:17:05+00:00">December 5, 2017</time></a><span class="by-author"> by <span class="author vcard"><a class="url fn n" href="https://www.necropraxis.com/author/necropraxis/" title="View all posts by Necropraxis" rel="author">Necropraxis</a></span></span>. </footer> </article> <article id="post-5473" class="post-5473 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-techniques"> <header class="entry-header"> <h1 class="entry-title"> <a href="https://www.necropraxis.com/2017/11/28/rich-descriptors/" rel="bookmark">Rich descriptors</a> </h1> <div class="comments-link"> <a href="https://www.necropraxis.com/2017/11/28/rich-descriptors/#respond"><span class="leave-reply">Leave a reply</span></a> </div> </header> <div class="entry-content"> <div id="attachment_5479" style="width: 310px" class="wp-caption alignright"><a href="http://www.necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/basicthief.png"><img class="wp-image-5479 size-medium" src="http://www.necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/basicthief-300x263.png" alt="" width="300" height="263" srcset="https://www.necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/basicthief-300x263.png 300w, https://www.necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/basicthief.png 422w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Character from <a href="http://character.totalpartykill.ca/basic/">Total Party Kill generator</a></p></div> <p>One of the more surprisingly effective character creation innovations I have come across during the last several years was when Ram decided to add a set of <a href="http://www.necropraxis.com/2012/11/09/random-appearance-table/">random appearance</a> results automatically to the default output from his <a href="http://character.totalpartykill.ca/basic/">character generator</a>. For example: <em>Thief, Male, Child, in Uniform, Tall</em> is so much more immediately intriguing than just <em>Thief</em>, especially along with STR 4 and WIS 5.</p> <p>But there is nothing special about those particular appearance tables, and if anything they are somewhat mundane, apart from one third of characters being either children or decrepit, which is rare for starting player characters and so lends interest. <a href="http://character.totalpartykill.ca/mazerats/">Maze Rats characters</a> have more unusual descriptions, but are still relatively literal and immediate: <em>wiry</em>, <em>singed clothing</em>, and so forth.</p> <p>What if we tried for more suggestive descriptors, such as roles or life stages? In the following d66 table, I tried for a set of results that in a single word suggest gender and age, along with a dash of social status, without being quite as direct. And of course, one could interpret a role either more or less literally. Depending on campaign particulars, reynard could mean young adult trickster or it could mean that the character was an actual fox who somehow was transformed into a human. Or maybe it means halfling animal person foxling.</p> <p>The entries perhaps still need some tuning, but the idea seems promising, especially if a few such rich tables could be constructed. I avoided more mundane pairs such as <em>father/mother</em>, <em>husband/wife</em>, <em>king/queen</em>, and so forth. I also tried to select pairs that were somewhat quirky without being ridiculously obscure and tried to avoid pairs that involved explicit hierarchy, though without complete success. Columns control implied gender, with odd male and even female. Rows control implied age, with higher number meaning older.</p> <p>Though maybe unworthy at this point, here is a <a href="https://www.dropbox.com/s/j4rw071zgq9ngc1/Rich%20Descriptors%202017-11-28.pdf">PDF of the table</a>.</p> <hr /> <table style="border-collapse: collapse;

In the <a href="http://www.necropraxis.com/2016/12/02/stonehell-prepare-to-die-blocking-and-dodging/">initial December formulation</a>, players chose between blocking or dodging (resolved using ability checks but also risking running out of stamina) or having the ref make a traditional monster attack roll versus character armor class. The trade-off was between relying entirely on ability scores or pitting character armor class against a monster’s potentially high attack bonus.</p> <p><strong>Making rules stick</strong>. In the past, I have sometimes had trouble getting combat house rules to stick because it is so easy to fall back on a familiar procedure, even when new rules result in more engaging outcomes and are advantageous to players. However, from the start of experimenting with the Dark Souls inspired active defense options, and across several groups of players with varying levels of tabletop roleplaying game experience, the active defenses seemed to remain top of mind. During the most recent session, players only ever defended actively, never letting the monsters make attack rolls, even with the risk of running out of stamina, which is punishing. I draw several lessons from this experience.</p> <p><strong>Choice prompts</strong>. First, the explicit choice prompt is an effective and low-maintenance way of communicating formal rules without needing non-referee players to read any rules (“zero homework” requirement). This is huge. Making such prompts habitual . This does place some constraints on potential rules, since the <a href="http://www.necropraxis.com/2016/01/19/doctrine-of-proceduralism/">procedure must be fluent</a> enough to survive being deployed all the time. That opposes complexity bloat which is positive more often than not.</p> <p><strong>Active options</strong>. Second, active options, assuming equal player effort requirements, have an advantage over passive options (such as submitting to a monster attack roll). Risking overgeneralization, I suspect this is universally true because players prefer a sense of control keeping all other factors constant.</p> <p><strong>Proposal</strong>. What follows is the procedure I am now considering, with parts that have not been play-tested in bold. Previously, armor class was a traditional passive defense score, but the approach below requires damage-reducing armor.</p> <hr /> <h2>Resolve Monster Actions</h2> <ol> <li>Determine actions for each monster.</li> <li>Match groups of monsters with defenders.</li> <li>Resolve defenses.</li> </ol> <h2>Defenses</h2> <p>When monsters attack, to the defending player ask:</p> <blockquote><p>“Do you fight off the attack, dodge, block with a shield, or react in some other way?”</p></blockquote> <p>Resolve as specified below or by using the most relevant ability check.</p> <p><strong>Fight off.</strong> <strong>To defend using a melee weapon, roll the weapon’s damage and add the result to armor rating this turn, then suffer monster damage. In effect, this defends by comparing damage potential between player character and monster.</strong></p> <p><strong>Shield block</strong>. To defend using a shield, make STR check (success → suffer no damage, failure → suffer ½ damage) and CON check (failure → out of stamina).</p> <p><strong>Dodge</strong>. To avoid monster attacks, make DEX check (success → suffer no damage, failure → suffer monster damage) and CON check (failure → out of stamina).</p> <hr /> <h2>Suffer Damage</h2> <p>Add the damage from all monsters threatening a player character together, subtract armor rating from the total, and then suffer this amount of damage.</p> <hr /> <h2>Notes</h2> <ul> <li>The fighting off procedure uses one roll per adventurer no matter the number of monsters. This means that the fight off option is more easily overwhelmed by multiple monsters, since the player character damage roll opposes multiple monster damage rolls added together.</li> <li>Not needing to make tons of attack rolls for a host of enemies is a nice added bonus.</li> <li>To simplify presentation for this post, I left out one small step, where player characters can intercede to block for an ally assuming the positioning makes sense fictionally. This can happen during the matching of monsters with defenders (step 2).</li> </ul> <div id="attachment_5407" style="width: 1010px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="http://www.necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/2017-01-12-20.20.00-stonehell-deceased.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-5407" src="http://www.necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/2017-01-12-20.20.00-stonehell-deceased.jpg" alt="Playtest results" width="1000" height="750" srcset="https://www.necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/2017-01-12-20.20.00-stonehell-deceased.jpg 1000w, https://www.necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/2017-01-12-20.20.00-stonehell-deceased-300x225.jpg 300w, https://www.necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/2017-01-12-20.20.00-stonehell-deceased-768x576.jpg 768w, https://www.necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/2017-01-12-20.20.00-stonehell-deceased-624x468.jpg 624w" sizes="(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Playtest results</p></div> </div> <footer class="entry-meta"> This entry was posted in <a href="https://www.necropraxis.com/category/rules/" rel="category tag">Rules</a> and tagged <a href="https://www.necropraxis.com/tag/combat/" rel="tag">combat</a>, <a href="https://www.necropraxis.com/tag/dark-souls/" rel="tag">Dark Souls</a>, <a href="https://www.necropraxis.com/tag/hexagram/" rel="tag">Hexagram</a>, <a href="https://www.necropraxis.com/tag/stonehell/" rel="tag">Stonehell</a> on <a href="https://www.necropraxis.com/2017/01/15/fight-off-dodge-or-block/" title="11:51 am" rel="bookmark"><time class="entry-date" datetime="2017-01-15T11:51:53+00:00">January 15, 2017</time></a><span class="by-author"> by <span class="author vcard"><a class="url fn n" href="https://www.necropraxis.com/author/necropraxis/" title="View all posts by Necropraxis" rel="author">Necropraxis</a></span></span>. </footer> </article> <article id="post-5334" class="post-5334 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-speculations"> <header class="entry-header"> <h1 class="entry-title"> <a href="https://www.necropraxis.com/2017/01/09/ultimatum-games-and-shared-narrative-control/" rel="bookmark">Ultimatum games and shared narrative control</a> </h1> <div class="comments-link"> <a href="https://www.necropraxis.com/2017/01/09/ultimatum-games-and-shared-narrative-control/#comments">11 Replies</a> </div> </header> <div class="entry-content"> <div id="attachment_5337" style="width: 310px" class="wp-caption alignright"><a href="http://www.necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/ultimatum-game.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-5337" src="http://www.necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/ultimatum-game-300x216.jpg" alt="Figure from Forber & Smead (2014)" width="300" height="216" srcset="https://www.necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/ultimatum-game-300x216.jpg 300w, https://www.necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/ultimatum-game-768x552.jpg 768w, https://www.necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/ultimatum-game-624x449.jpg 624w, https://www.necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/ultimatum-game.jpg 800w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Figure from <a href="http://rspb.royalsocietypublishing.org/content/281/1780/20132439">Forber & Smead (2014)</a></p></div> <p>Narrative control is the degree to which fictional authority is shared between referee and non-referee players in a tabletop roleplaying game. This is one of many properties useful for categorizing and understanding games. Traditionally, narrative control is centralized in the person of the referee but can also be shared either informally based on social norms or formally using game systems. For example, in the Fate engine players can spend fate points to <a href="http://fate-srd.com/fate-accelerated/aspects-fate-points#establishing-facts">establish facts</a> in the fiction of the game world.</p> <p><a name="pro-con"></a>Spreading fictional authority over multiple people can lead to greater recombinant fictional potential. However, delegating authority also decreases puzzle complexity, challenge, and potential surprise (see <a href="#zak-comment">Zak quote below</a> for more on this dynamic). Spending a point abstractly to make a door be unlocked does not require any creativity or lateral thinking.</p> <p>At one level, moving along the dimension of narrative control in game design caters to different player preferences. Some players are more interested in being challenged and solving problems while others are more interested in formally structured shared storytelling. Given a set of clear preferences, groups can tailor systems and practices. However, authority in games, just as in the broader social world, is continuously negotiated, even when formally addressed by laws or rules. That is, there are more settings or levers available for games regarding narrative control than simply picking a point on the spectrum.</p> <p>Anecdotally, while I am generally more in the traditionalist camp of centralized referee narrative control, on reflection I have noticed that I often both explicitly and implicitly delegate fictional control to non-referee players. For example, see how <a href="http://www.necropraxis.com/2012/11/08/ratlings-in-pahvelorn/">ratlings</a> became part of my Vaults of Pahvelorn. However, the way I find myself delegating fictional authority entails implicit veto power. Though all players, referee and otherwise, contribute to fictional game outcomes, the referee acts as steward. The responsibilities of stewardship in my games include balancing present play against future play and attending to the engagement of individual non-referee players. While this does not mean I adjust outcomes based on what I predict will give particular players more pleasure, it does control whether I linger on a particular fictional experience or work out fictional imperatives quickly.</p> <p>Based on this understanding of stewardship, as referee I might ask a player what kind of farm a character grew up on or whether they might have relatives in the current town. It is not against the spirit of the game for a player to use this opportunity to gain some present problem solving advantage. However, the player has an incentive to restrain themselves. The more ambitious, far-reaching, or obviously self-interested the interpretation is, the more likely the contribution is to fall afoul of the referee’s steward responsibilities and be rejected. To clarify, this is not at all about protecting a static, perfect setting from the grubby hands of players or ensuring that a plot conforms to a desired narrative arc. Instead, the approach attempts to harness shared creativity while not sacrificing exploratory potential or challenge.</p> <p>This process works like the ultimatum game in game theory. In the ultimatum game, two players divide some resources between themselves. Player A proposes how to split the resources. Player B decides whether to accept or reject the split. If B rejects the split, both get zero. Empirically, people in the player B responder role are more likely to reject inequitable splits even though such rejection entails personal monetary cost. After all, even one penny is greater than nothing. Because of this empirical fact, proposers have an incentive to not be perceived as too greedy, even though no proposal is formally defined by the rules as invalid.</p> <p>Mapping this structure to gaming, non-referee players take the proposer role while referees take the responder role. Even this description oversimplifies, as in practice non-referee players may iterate proposals following referee rejection. That said, potential negotiation is limited in practice as groups will not tolerate perpetual renegotiation. Further, once new facts settle, offhand details may lead to surprising fictional consequences, potentially both advantageous and disadvantageous to player goals. This adds to the richness of the game as players incorporate the fictional logic of more inputs. Like butterfly wings shifting weather patterns.</p> <hr /> <p><a name="zak-comment"></a><a href="https://plus.google.com/u/0/+ArnoldK/posts/LnadbbEKiQJ ">Comment from Zak</a> on the effect of narrative control locus on challenge:</p> <blockquote><p>the problem for me with a lot of player-created content ( as a GM ) is the fact that what I then give them then has less of a chance of being a surprise and less of the character of a puzzle. If what’s there has even a 25% chance of being what they decided would be there every time then that’s 25% less fear and dread and giddy anticipation.</p> <p>The problem for me as a player is that I don’t get surprised, it’s less of a puzzle, it’s less challenging for me (the more info I have, the easier a challenge is), it bores me (I can create content whenever I want when I run a game, why should I do it when I’m playing?) and it robs me of the specific challenge of “If I want something to exist in the game I have to find a way to build it”.</p> <p>When I’m asked “so, Zak’s PC, what’s over the ridge” my immediate response is “all the treasure int he world and the big bad’s head on a spike”–not because I don’t like making stuff up but because when playing I am conscious that I am trying to direct all my mental energy to exploiting every affordance to get specific goals done that could take years . Asking me to then turn to Author stance is just asking me to do a much easier job with much lower stakes that is consequently less fun.</p></blockquote> <p>(<a href="#pro-con">Click this link to return to pros and cons paragraph above.</a>)</p> <h2>References</h2> <p>Forber, P., & Smead, R.

There is no art. Ben also runs the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvYwePdbWSEwUa-Pk02u3Zw/videos">Questing Beast Youtube channel</a>, the most active (as far as I know) video DIY D&D RPG reviewer. Maze Rats started as a hack of Into the Odd (which I <a href="http://www.necropraxis.com/2014/12/27/an-odd-toolbox/">discuss here</a>) and still occupies nearby design space, though there is less implied setting. Maze Rats relies only on six-sided dice. For best results, players should have dice with different colors for the 36 item tables described below.</p> <h2>System Basics</h2> <p>The player-facing system uses three stats (strength, dexterity, will) and resolves outcomes using 2d6 + stat with 10 or higher indicating success. There are a number of other ad-hoc systems, such as the familiar side-based d6 initiative, but the 2d6 ability check is the workhorse. The standout rule for me is the simple but flexible class-free advancement system. The random spell creation and atmospherically named character features (briarborn, fingersmith, etc) are runners-up. My least favorire rule is XP rewards for “overcoming challenges” (I prefer more impartial and concrete rules in this area). It is a minor point though and trivial to house-rule.</p> <h2>Random Generators</h2> <p><a href="http://www.necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/2017-01-01-22.05.49-maze-rats.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-5357" src="http://www.necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/2017-01-01-22.05.49-maze-rats-300x300.jpg" alt="2017-01-01-22-05-49-maze-rats" width="300" height="300" srcset="https://www.necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/2017-01-01-22.05.49-maze-rats-300x300.jpg 300w, https://www.necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/2017-01-01-22.05.49-maze-rats-150x150.jpg 150w, https://www.necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/2017-01-01-22.05.49-maze-rats-768x768.jpg 768w, https://www.necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/2017-01-01-22.05.49-maze-rats-624x624.jpg 624w, https://www.necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/2017-01-01-22.05.49-maze-rats.jpg 1000w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></a>Approximately eight of the twelve text pages are mostly consumed by 36-item lists used to jumpstart game content. For example, there are lists of clothing adjectives, mutations, monster traits, and so forth. Each list is essentially a two-dimensional (6×6=36) d6 random table where you roll one d6 for the first blob of six possibilities and another d6 for the particular possibility within. This is clever but I still wish there were numbers on the lists (the d66 notation some games use would work well). Many tables belong to sets that work together. For example, monster = animal base + feature + trait + ability + tactics + weakness.</p> <h2>Sample Generated Game Elements</h2> <p><strong>Random adventurer</strong>. STR +1, DEX +0, WIL +2, health 4, roofrunner (advantage when climbing, leaping, balancing), athletic appearance, tattoos, background: headsman, perfumed clothing, personality: stubborn, mannerism: overly casual, blah blah choose some more gear (random rather than alphabetic arrangement of the item d66 table would allow items at least to be done with a single d6 throw). I think I randomly generated Vin Diesel, or maybe wannabe Vin Diesel (given the physical stats).</p> <p><strong>Random spell</strong>. Formula: physical effect + physical form, name: resurrecting sentinel (the first word came from the physical effect table, the second from the physical form table). I think this probably animates a receptacle using a piece of the sorcerer’s soul (temporary max health reduction) which will attempt to raise allies that have fallen to zero health (STR check). The resurrection check risks bad necromantic voodoo (WIL check).</p> <p><strong>Random monster</strong>. Aquatic, anglerfish, gills (no too boring, roll again: plumage), colossal, spell-casting, tactics: ambush, personality: mystical, weakness: moonlight. So the anglerfish lure is clearly a fully-sized humanoid and this cyclopean peacock fish is trying to gather an army of hypno-drones to somehow get rid of the moon or block its influence.</p> <p>These were the first three elements I used the rules to create and all turned out interesting so I count that as a system success. There are more sets of tables for other game elements (cities, wilderness areas, dungeons, and so forth).</p> <h2>Magic</h2> <p>As written, players randomly generate new spells during each recovery, which must be interpreted and defined. It seems like this would create wonderful opportunities for player creativity. At some level, however, this also makes all magic-using characters functionally identical given that they are all rolling on the same tables. As a player who tends toward magic-using characters, I might want more individuation.</p> <p>There are a number of easy ways to push this system into more adventurer-personalized territory without jettisoning the novelty benefits of regularly determining random spells. <em>Possibility 1</em>: characters can prepare current spells again if desired rather than randomly determining a new spell. <em>Possibility 2</em>: characters can choose specialization defined by fixing results for one or more of the tables used to generate spells. For example, one sorcerer may be able to choose physical form spells while another may be able to choose spells with deceiving ethereal effects. <em>Possibility 3</em>: characters can record particularly desirable spells in a library at some cost. This would allow each sorcerer to build a unique collection of spells. Cost could be monetary, specific sympathetic component (probably requiring adventuring), or both. I would find this last library option particularly satisfying as a player. Any or all of these approaches could be used together.</p> <h2>Principles</h2> <p>The referee advice (last two pages of text) is gold. The principles are basically distilled community practices for a game focusing on exploration, lateral thinking, creative problem solving, and so forth. The advice may not be unique to Maze Rats, but it is tightly written and clear. I know of few better sources for concisely explaining what to prioritize when running this sort of game.</p> <h2>Conclusion</h2> <p>As I began reading Maze Rats, I was expecting another set of old school house rules, some of which might be useful to me in my continuous project of rules experimentation. What I found was a tight, well-written system with strong identity. I am curious if the lightweight chassis can stand up to an extended campaign.</p> <p>A minor issue: the layout makes it hard to copy chunks of text. (That’s probably easy to fix using some option to the PDF creator software.)</p> <p>Currently, <a href="http://www.rpgnow.com/product/197158/Maze-Rats">Maze Rats</a> is pay what you want on RPGNow.
