Reposting from last thread, cause i'm still interested in responses:Asymmetrikon posted:Apropos of nothing, I've a question for you all: what are your dream features for a virtual tabletop program (like MapTool or Roll20)? What would make your life easier as a DM or player? If you were to have a scriptable, moddable VTT, what would you want to be able to mess around with?

Does Hanabi count as a card game? Doesn't matter, you should buy Hanabi.

Well, older games tended to be more... loosely constructed, in a way. Individual rules were easier to peel off because systems tended to be sort of conglomerates of disconnected subsystems, and it wasn't terribly hard to ignore stuff you didn't like, cause it really didn't affect any of the other parts of the game. Nowadays, there's a tendency to more tightly design games as wholes made up of interacting parts, so it's harder to take a part out without disturbing the workings of the other subsystems.

BrainParasite posted:I've always been curious about this. Was old school D&D really as modular as the OSR claims or did the subsystems interact in subtle refined ways but everybody just ignored them and did whatever? Well, if the stories are to be believed, D&D developed each of its little parts individually when Gygax was confronted with a new game situation that didn't fall under any of the rules that were already established (or at least, the set of rules that the players remembered at the time.) I'd doubt that the subsystems interacted in 'subtle, refined ways' - even newer RPGs can't manage that very well, and they actually attempt to have some kind of unifying system, unlike D&D.

Unless it got a hell of a lot better, when we tried it it wasn't very good. Which really sucks, it's a neat idea in theory. e: referring to Storium
