(no subject)
Jun. 13th, 2014 12:17 pmLast night while up rather late, I had one of those thoughts that drives me to fits of giggling (in this case, stifled by my own pillow). I was thinking about D&D tropes, and game systems I prefer mechanically, and then it hit me- Dungeon: the Dragoning. An nWoD mod (probably GMC).
In the rather warm light of sleep-deprived day, I genuinely can't tell if this is a terrible idea or a hilarious one or both. But two things are obvious, first that it needs to be called Adventurer: the Hackening instead, and second, that treating "adventurers" as a type of supernatural (in a similar vein to Japanese treatment of Shinobi or Chinese film treatments of Shaolin monks) makes vastly more sense of most D&D worlds. Most of them treat "adventurer" as a meaningful word, not just a job description for "mercenary with a side order of thieving".
So I think I'm going to actually write this.
PS... and obviously, the Power Stat is called "Level".
