Also, Meteor looks nice. I notice it's CC; are the source files available? It's pretty much impossible to build on a pdf without them, unless you want to spend a month resetting everything by hand.

Is there a reason you are putting limits on defining facts like this?

Yea, the system's meant to do all sorts -

  • provide a limited deus ex machina
  • encourage making backstories (once there's a lever, players will pull it)
  • pre-emptively gather new characters to replace dead PCs, without shoehorning a randomer [ Hail strangers! I notice your party has no mage... ]
  • provide a limited system to gather 'henchmen' for dangerous missions.
  • provide a system which prompts backgrounds being 'fair' (this character's rich, the other knows many languages, et c.)
  • slot backstory into the world, rather than asking players to do homework for a backstory

It's not so much a Storytelling system, as an anti-storytelling system, designed to complete the job of a backstory systematically, so the rest of the game continues procedurally.

If the XP rewards go up to 5XP per Story Point spent, it's enough to buy the first level of a Skill, so that could work.

Auto-success is already in the system for knowledge-checks - still unused, but maybe it could be emphasized somewhere? ...though auto-success for attacks wouldn't make much sense. If someone's attacking a mimic for the third time, it wouldn't make much sense to gain a single attack bonus.

I'd be worried that 'use it or lose it' would result in bad outcomes:

  • optimized players would be tripping over each other to spend points with any excuse, prompting a string of cousins to 'help tie my shoes'.
  • shy players would lose 5 XP.

This whole thing is madness. Courses shouldn't have hidden costs.

Why does the wlroots version mean hyprland can't be packaged for Void?
