#RPGaDay2018 – Day 21 and 22: Which dice mechanic and non-dice mechanic appeal to you?

Hello everybody… although I posted my videos yesterday on my YouTube channel and the channel for Desde la Fosa, I neglected writing a post and sharing them with you. These two days are all about mechanics. Dice mechanics and non-dice mechanics.

 For the first pair of videos corresponding to day 21, I had a specific example and a general overall mechanic beyond a specific game, I prefer roll high mechanics, preferably using a single dice.

As far as non-dice mechanic I first thought about diceless game, playing Amber briefly once upon a time, but then I though about all the non-dice mechanics in game we play regularly and talked about that in the videos, specifically the Interludes rule from Savage Worlds. Hope you enjoy both days.

Thanks for reading and watching see you tomorrow.

Welcome, reader; thanks for taking the time to discover who I am! My name is Roberto, although I usually go by Sunglar online. I am a longtime tabletop RPG player, primarily a GM for the better part of that time; some will say that’s because of my love of telling a good story, others because I’m a control freak, but that’s debatable. I was born and raised in Puerto Rico, an island in the Caribbean with a small but active gaming community. I’ve played RPGs for almost 40 years, and for most of that time, I played D&D in all its permutations, including Pathfinder and D&D 5th edition. Other games our regular gaming group plays include Mutants & Masterminds, Castles & Crusades, Savage Worlds, Stars Without Number, Alien, and more. I have played many games through the years and plan to play many more. I am a compulsive homebrewer and rarely play a campaign I have not created myself. You can follow me on social media as Sunglar, and I’m regularly active on Facebook where you can find me posting regularly in the Puerto Rico Role Players group. I am looking forward to hearing from you!
