I’m currently running a Worlds Without Number game for my group which has been delightful, mostly because they’ve finally started to embrace the idea that they can just, like, try to do things without worrying if there are specific rules for them… Mostly because I can just bootstrap in mechanics if I really want to have them.
There’s also the 5e game I’m in, but that one’s just standard D&D with the twist being we’re basically a traveling band of gourmets.
I have not tried Worlds Without Number yet, it sounds very cool! Having players relax and just roleplay and experiment with their actions can be a very freeing experience. A travelling band of gourmets sounds like a recipe for a lot of humour :D
Oh, the D&D game’s been an absolute side-splitter! :D
I’m the party’s Cleric, so I’ve basically become the group’s straight-man/responsibility compass so that everyone else can just make repeated questionable choices. Like our middle-aged poison specialist who keeps trying to find flavors that are both delicious and might kill her, or our plasmoid who has to be reminded that they are not allowed to eat people we take as prisoners, or our dynamic duo of a warlock and paladin that keep finding new and exciting ways to get in trouble with the local authorities. All while we do things like discover a lost civilization while trying to catch a rare giant scorpion for its meat or thwart pirates while trying to make it to a diplomatic conference we’re cooking the meals for.
And, yeah, Worlds Without Number is a blast. There’s even a free edition if you wanna give it a peek sometime. The entire xWN line is basically my system of choice (since the games themselves are generally mechanically compatible even if they’re fit for different genres).
Haha that sounds fun :D Questionable choices are the best ones sometimes :D
Ooh the free edition looks great, will check it out!
Definitely do! And feel free to ping me if you have any thoughts to share. I’m never gonna complain about talking shop when it comes to that system. :P
