I’ve heard the system referenced a few times and it’s on sale currently
So I’m wondering what it is exactly. I understand it’s d6, low crunch, more or less Planescape
But I’d like to know a bit more. Anyone has played it and has some more verbose take?
@INeedMana Did you ever play the Fighting Fantasy choose-your-own-adventure series? It’s a lot like that.
No, that one doesn’t even ring a bell. “choose-your-own-adventure” means a lot of RNG tables?
@INeedMana Choose Your Own Adventure is a style of solo game book where you get prompted to make decisions where each choice tells you to go to a different numbered paragraph to find out the consequces.
The Fighting Fantasy series mixed things up with a very simple D&D-style character sheet and added combat and skill checks.
Troika’s system is built on those mechanics, but it is a GMed game by default.
Ah! We called them “paragraph books”
So it’s more in *SR “boulder falls, you die” vein?
@INeedMana No. Troika uses the D&Desque dice rolling mechanics from FF, not the CYOA solo gamebook play.
