CritFail.Press<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/@cynical13" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>cynical13</span></a></span> Yeah I feel that sentiment. The closest to <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/OSR" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OSR</span></a> games that I get is likely Shadowdark RPG. Over my career as a GM I've run a variety of different systems and definitely distilled my own "style" when it comes to running games as a result.</p><p>The idea of Rulings over Rules is one of the big ones. Even in crunchier systems like 5E or PF I feel comfortable just running by feel and course correcting for rules later if needed. I think my players benefited from the concept of Antics though.</p>
Jeff<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://dice.camp/@critfail_press" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>critfail_press</span></a></span> The pirate game was more swashbuckling D&amp;D in a pirate town, less sailing, but I'd like to revisit the idea at some point.</p><p>I love codifying the idea of antics into the gaming language but I find the constant changing of terminology from game to game to be confusing at times and a little grating having to re-explain concepts to folks when we switch games.</p><p>I've tried to lead by example on that kind of freeform play. Powered by the Apocalypse games are good for that which is why we're doing so well with <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Masks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Masks</span></a>. When we played <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/FengShui" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FengShui</span></a>, I would ramp up the action and the players often would follow suit. </p><p>That's also one big reason why I prefer <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/OSR" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OSR</span></a> type games. I'd rather make an interesting ruling based on a neat player idea than be locked into a set of rules.</p>
