Early morning #rpg #gamedesign musings on #Elyncia system design (SDM:FTLS - Synthetic Dream Machine: Flying Triremes and Laser Swords).

Existing rpg systems have left me feeling flat as of late.... too many *whiff* moments and general system muck.

Complexity has been removed from the scenario's tactics-and-strategy, and shoveled onto the PC's character sheets. This leads to options paralysis in play & unclear narrative results after a bunch of dice rolls. Bleh.
