I’ve heard good things about cypher but I’ve never really heard of Apocalypse World. Sounds cool!
I’ve been playing Pathfinder 2e, but I don’t play via pen and paper, so a lot of the annoying maths and granular things are automated via foundry, thank god
If you’re interested in Cypher or Apocalypse World, you’re in luck. Both are being updated as we speak and will be re-released this year!
Apocalypse World changed my life, at least my TTRPG life. The GMing chapter alone is worth the whole book’s price.
As to computers being in charge of crunch and granularity in TTRPGs, I’m glad that that’s possible. It makes crunchier games more accessible.
Heck, maybe in the future there’ll be a TTRPG that requires software to make complicated calculations. It could enable complex game economies, economies of battle, of skills, of inventory… — economies that aren’t easy to manage with mental math.
For now, I think I’ll stick to accessibility and simplicity. Still, I’m excited to see what kinds of great games people will come up with!
Apocalypse World :)
If the table (including myself) wants another setting, Cypher. If we want minimal crunch, Maze Rats.
What about you?
