Recently I was thinking about alternative combat systems.I remember someone talking about instead of HP the payer has a Jenga tower and he needs to remove peaces once hit, the skill is to remove peaces without the tower collapsingSo I started thinking.For example what if the combat somehow involves cups and balls?Instead of a D20+modifier nonsense why not change it up? Why not give a player 10 balls or legos or whatever and to win an encounter the player needs to land 2 balls in 1 cup?There can be variants of this like a super hard encounter demands the player lands all 10 balls or what about reducing the size of the cup with the difficulty of combat?What if we implement a fate system from Talisman for the players? What if legendary bosses have something like that for themselves? And can negate the players victory? What if different monsters use different "balls" like for example some bone golems will be you throwing legos into cups and zombies are aluminum balls while naga can be gummy bears? That actually makes the monster feel different and not a copy pasted set of numbers. Also the different aerodynamics of these "balls" are part of the fun.What are some other ideas that other people explored?PS: D&D retards can fuck off this is not a thread for them!>Nooo my 10 year long campaign that isl literally>Find goblins cup>Litch s trying to kill town>Stop Litch!>My players will riot and piss and shit themselves if their PCs die!You people are mentally ill! A game is supposed to be short 1 session or 2(3 if it is interrupted a lot) and the characters dying is a good thing. PS2: I understand that people will have better skills in throwing or develop them better, this is not a problem and a good thing.
Welp, your PS helped me realize that there's something really wrong with you. Thanks for the warning at least.
