Campaign of Chaos

Is the second post included in the screenshot for some reason I’m not getting?
I think it’s a reference to someone entrenched in the FF universe, probably a fan of D&D campaigns, who is being tongue-in-cheek AT’d
-
Most times I see “Great D&D ideas” posts are scenarios better suited for any game that’s not D&D
This would be great in a more free-form, narrative TTRPG
This is all expected in the “Powered by the Apocalypse” (PTBA) system and it’s spin offs.
-
There are a few TTRPGs that let you build a magic system for yourself. The most developed one is called Ars Magica. I recently discovered a newer game called Tattered Magicks that also lets you craft magic for your spellcaster.
D&D is fun, but it’s not the only rpg out there
-
So… I take it they’re not familiar with Mage?
-
This sounds kinda like Mage: The Ascension.
Exactly.

Hell, there’s even Kids On Broomsticks, if you’re looking for some Calvinball Lite shenanigans.

Man, I need to play this again at some point
Only round I had the chance of playing was a very short round 15 or so years ago at a convention, where I played a character that basically scripted reality around him with code
-
Very unconventional, but I’m going to allow it.
-
Good fit for Dungeon World.
Man I forgot all about Dungeon World. I think I backed a kickstarter they did a long time ago. Never got around to playing it tho. I’ll have to dig it out and see if my game group is interested.

I spend a Fabula point - do we all agree that red things have resistance against Fire element?

Would work pretty well in Fabula Ultima

I kinda like this ribbon idea. It’s like flag football but the flag prevents you from being instantly fireballed to the face.
final fantasy accessories make sense now

Nope, I’m not. What is it?

I feel like people use “D&D” like “Google” when people say “D&D idea” they generally mean “any TTRPG idea” and when people say “Google It” they mean “look it up”

Quick way to end up with Calvin-ball magic. “Oh, but the red ribbon disintegrates if I toot my wooden whistle, making it doubly weak to fire!”
Presumably you have a limited number of wishes.

My guess would be that they are referring to “Mage: The Ascension”. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mage:_The_Ascension

I feel the same, but tell myself that for many people “DnD” is a stand-in for any sort of imagination game. Like people say “kleenex” for tissue or “xerox” for copy.
I agree with you, but find it absolutely hilarious that the two examples you gave are the ones I almost never hear people around me using.

Turnabout and all that; now the enemies all start carrying wooden whistles they use right before casting fireball at you. At the very least, it would be silly and should hopefully get the players being extra careful as they craft their spells!

Thanks, sounds interesting!

Ah, but they don’t know about the anti-wooden whistle wax I dipped my ribbon in!
