Is there any game you know of, with a more sophisticated mechanical system for convincing NPCs to do things than just "roll a Persuasion check." I want to run a game that revolves around recruiting naive people to fight for the players
What about a system that also incorporates intimidation, bluffing, and insight alongside persuasion. I wonder if there's a game like that.
>>94799329>Is there any game you know ofNone at all.
>>94799329Why are you trying to force players to do certain things? Are you hoping your campaign will die?
Blades in the Dark's clock system is this. Actually, every game with a sequence of challenges, like D&D's Skill Challenge system, is for this. You just suck shit at running games.
>>94799329What we want is a system that provides a mechanical map of an NPC's inner personality by describing the nature and degree of that NPC's wants, needs, fears, etc, and then provides different PC archetypes that can manipulate those mechanics in various ways. But if I had a game like that I'd probably just use it for sex stuff.
>>94799329AD&D 1E DMG has been the answer to this and any other retarded question you might have about ttrpgs. Read it even if you dont run it.
>>94799329Look up systems that have social combat mechanics. I know WoD newer editions have some, which can be easily ported back to earlier editions if you dont like v5. Premise is simple, like using willpower points instead of hp and the person does what you say when they either reach 0 or decide to quit. Relies alot on literal roleplay obviously and its just a simplified version of the regular combat system. Its more a challenge to the players creativity though, if you try to make it strictly about rolling dice its not going to be very fun.
>>94799524>>94799329Cast geas on your players
>>94799342There isn't a game like that.An over-glorified narrative system whose suggestions its designers expect you to buy, sure, but not a game.
>>94800015Incorrect, see Exalted 3e >>94799342 >>94799329
Savage worlds has some optional mechanics for that.
>>94799329>>94799342nwod, social combat system from danse macabrealso has mentlel combat system but it's not nearly as good
>>94799329What is this thing?
>>94799329The world of darkness middle child now referred to as CofD has a system for tracking earning someone's trust over time to make them easier to manipulate and it includes making first impressions and stuff.
>>94799329Genesys has rules for social "combat" where you win when you get the other party too tired to argue.
>>94799329Stat him.
>>94803257That's a satan.
>>94803719He has 1hp, AC 10, and can grant a wish as an action. When you kill him, the DM rolls 1d6 and must wait that many turns before spawning a new one with all the memories of the previous one.
>>94803257A major character from Puella Magi Madoka Magica: the "archetypal" dark Magical Girl anime.
>>94799329The Game of Thrones RPG (the old one based on d20) had an elaborate skagen of political power and personal influence where you basically got "influence points" which you invested in people or organizations which you then used to get them to do stuff. If you had a marginal amount, then you had to roll, but if you invested 50 points into the local brothel, you could easily get the madame to pass on secrets to you.
>>94804291man, I wish the twist about the anime had been other than "aliens farming emotions of young girls, have been doing it for centuries", that was so fucking stupid it ruined the whole thing for me.Visuals, music, characters and pretty every other concept other than that retarded faggotry were just awesome.
>>94803785>>94804291It's pretty cute. Should I watch it? I heard good things about it. I know what the major twist is, but I don't know the details.
>>94806204The original series was only twelve or thirteen episodes, the pacing's great for an anime
>>94799524>>94799942>reading comprehensionOP wants a game where the PLAYERS can make NPCs do something, not the reverse.
>>94806204Its genuinely a very good show with a striking art/direction style. Watch the original series, and then track down the Rebellion movie which is a direct sequel. Together they form a hell of a punch that people either really love or really hate.

>>94807859Don't post this while suggesting madoka, you'll make people think magia record was worth watching.
>>94807954Fair, I just don't have a lot of webms saved so its the only madoka I got
>>94799329It sounds like what you want...Is D&D.
