(TFT) TFT?
Is there a definition of TFT?
Where does it STOP?
CAN a (attempted) uneversal system be defined as THIS is part of the game but THAT isn't?
I know that if I start talking Str,Int,Wis,Dex,Con,Chr then I ain't talking TFT.
So maybe ST, DX and IQ as stats are a requirement for talking about TFT.
Polyhedral dice don't seem to be included...
Uhhhhhh...
Talents?
?
What CAN'T you talk about in an open system?
I ask because IMHO a game like this should encompass EVERYTHING!
I was (very nicely) informed that this list is about TFT and NOT computers, but "I" think that the algorythems a GM uses to resolve issue across the table should work just as well in a computer enviroment.
I'm NOT speaking of a TFT Warcraft, rather I'm speaking of some of the bookkeeping handled via computer.
What's wrong with computer assisted game-mastering?
Instead of "The GM rolls a series of dice" it'd read "The GM pulls up a menu on his laptop and clicks a button".
This is the same problem I've wittnessed for almost THREE decades now.
Hello me Droogies?
Do we not know when a game is a game?
Why not a meta-game?
In other words, while everybody else seems to strive to difrentiate their game from everybody elses, Jay strives to unify it all under the "Game" umbrella.
Handle real-estate w/Monopoly for all I care.
Just handle it.
Is your group having fun?
Are they clamouring for more?
Then you've done your duty as GM and can rest a touch.
Till it's time for the NEXT ADVENTURE anyway!
Whatever.
So Joe;
If Jay bables about compuer stuff here occasionaly are you gonna be upset with me?
I just want the stuff to move into the fuure in such a way that it'll stay alive in SOME form.
I say this because I've done a TON of stuff with reaction rolls (which I consider to be VERY important) but I've used this StoryTron thing to do the work and it's all gonna sound like I'm trying to make a computer game, which I'm not.
I'm trying to keep the face to face interaction alive.
Strange quest for a hermet, but there it is.
