metric dungeons

-

soon after the anti-civilization organization of evil monsters introduced accessibility features into their dungeons, they realized that it was also kind of weird that they would measure their projects according to some human king's foot. in collaboration with the adventurers' guild, they invented new architectural standards along with new guidelines for traversing dungeons.

whereas before the dungeon was segmented into 5' by 5' squares, future dungeons will be segmented into 2m by 2m squares. this move also slightly widens the average hallway and will allow for more traffic into the dungeon.

it is recommended that adventurers crawl at intervals of 40m instead of 120', twice per 10 minute turn. some officers of the adventurers' guild are considering redefining the turn as 5 minutes, in order to remove the ambiguity of "two moves of 120' [now 40m] per turn". however, this has not yet been agreed upon.

the standard adventurer's torch will shine a radius of 10m (previously 30'), or a diameter of 20m.

according to the previous standards outlined in the code for evil monsters against civilization, wandering monsters should only appear between 20' and 120' away from the adventuring party (2d6 * 10'). since 10' represents a straight line across two 5' by 5' blocks, we may substitute it for 4m instead.

Combined Encounter Checks & Tables Using d%

So, this one is going to be short. I pinkie promise! I was exploring a framework for a Pokemon campaign and thought it would be fun to make use of percentile dice (i.e. d% or d100) for most everything. So, how about percentile dice exploration checks? My first thought was to keep it simple and say there's a 20% chance of an encounter per turn, since that's a nice round number. It's slightly more frequent than the typical 1-in-6 chance, by about 25%, but that's not the worst. The nice thing was, I realized, you can combine the roll to check if an encounter is about to happen with the roll to see which encounter takes place. Imagine before that you made your encounter roll at a 20% chance per turn, and then you roll d20 on an encounter table to see what it is. Instead, you can roll at your 20% chance, but then you can use the same roll on that same d20 table. This means when you make your roll, you also know immediately what encounter it is. Isn't that handy! So, I w...

Critique of the Conversation Surrounding Lyric Games

-
"What is a lyric game?" Wouldn't we all like to know! There might not be much use in trying to define something that, for many, is best left undefined. In their recent article for Dicebreaker  [1], Linda H. Codega offers the following heuristic for how to determine if a work might be considered a lyric game: While the genre often defies definition, typically lyric games embody one or more of the following aspects: a removal of the distance between the ‘player’ and the ‘character’, the gamification of everyday experiences, and the reversal of assumptions to impact play . “Lyric games” as a term was coined by John R. Harness in late 2019 but, as it was a definition meant to encompass an emergent genre, many games published before 2019 are now considered lyric. Many lyric games are sold and distributed with anti-capitalist and community-forward priorities - often there will be community copies (copies donated by the author for those experiencing marginalisation or hardship)...
