Show002: Conflict and Task Resolution
Section 1: Introduction
I introduce myself and give my email address. Then I discuss thee feedback from show 2, which was to fix the glitches and add music. I was able to get the music but am still learning the techniques for recording. I’ve figured out what I need to do to edit post recording, so I don’t need to have the input so loud. I’m going to try backing off the mike a bit. Hopefully the show is understandable.
Section 2: Definitions
- Macguffin – A story device used to drag characters along.
- Fortune – A resolution system that uses randomness.
- Drama – A resolution system where the GM decides what happens.
- Karma – A system that compares traits and the highest wins, most notable for this style is the RPG, “Amber.”
- Story-neutral – A resolution system that doesn’t consider the story.
- Traditional – The games that have come before.
- Creator owned – Games owned by their creator.
- Untraditional – Games that try different novel ideas.
- Credibility/BS rules – Who gets to add fiction to the Shared Imaginary Space is somewhat defined by credibility.
Section 3: Main section
This is where I discuss conflict and tasked based resolution using a somewhat modified example of play from a D+D 3E campaign. It ends with a brief description of reasons I personally think it might be useful to use one resolution type versus another in a game.
