@lemmy.worldYeah sort of. They create a timeline/history together. There are surely ways to then play games or write stories or what have you within the world that is created but mainly it’s creating a history of a place that sort of gets created as you go.
If you’re really looking for not-catch-all systems you should check out ADRPG (Amber Diceless RPG) I haven’t played it properly but I’ve read the books it’s based on and read through the rule book and it looks really cool and unique. Another unique one is Microscope. I’ve also not played it but read the rule book and it comes highly recommended. It’s a completely different kind of tabletop game, one can almost not even call it an RPG, but there are roleplaying elements. I’d recommend checking it out.
If you’re not really looking, well, there you have it anyways I guess. Feel free to ignore.
I think all the Lemmy folks don’t want to give Reddit the traffic. At least that’s my theory.
That makes sense. And thanks! I have it set as a shortcut on my phone any time I have an exclamation point next to a question mark. It’s not hard to set up on an iPhone, I’m guessing it’s not hard on android either. (Although I think I did have to get a keyboard that had the actual interrobang symbol in it. But also not so hard to find 🤷🏻♀️). I am trying to make it a thing. I don’t think it’s working. But I think I got one person at least to do it. So that’s awesome. You should totally do it! 😬
I should write a guide for how to do it and post it somewhere.
