There are a few TTRPGs that let you build a magic system for yourself. The most developed one is called Ars Magica. I recently discovered a newer game called Tattered Magicks that also lets you craft magic for your spellcaster.
D&D is fun, but it’s not the only rpg out there
Most times I see “Great D&D ideas” posts are scenarios better suited for any game that’s not D&D
This would be great in a more free-form, narrative TTRPG
This is all expected in the “Powered by the Apocalypse” (PTBA) system.
I feel the same, but tell myself that for many people “DnD” is a stand-in for any sort of imagination game. Like people say “kleenex” for tissue or “xerox” for copy.
Good fit for Dungeon World.
Quick way to end up with Calvin-ball magic. “Oh, but the red ribbon disintegrates if I toot my wooden whistle, making it doubly weak to fire!”
Is the second post included in the screenshot for some reason I’m not getting?
I think it’s a reference to someone entrenched in the FF universe, probably a fan of D&D campaigns, who is being tongue-in-cheek AT’d
I kinda like this ribbon idea. It’s like flag football but the flag prevents you from being instantly fireballed to the face.
I started introducing my kids to tabletop RPGs and this is exactly how we play.
This sounds kinda like Mage: The Ascension.
