Roleplay vs Storytelling

I'm going to begin with the following statement:  One is not inherently better than the other, they are simply different, and I have my preferences. This is not an attack on either style of RP, but just my thoughts on the subject matter. That out of the way, I like crunch. I like detail. I don't write games with a lot of crunch, because I'm casting a wide net - I want to write games that are easy for children and adults, and which allows you to put as much detail into the game as you want. The ASPS engine can be a streamlined, simple game with a focus on narrative play, or it can be resource heavy and detailed if that's your preference. The soon-t o- be-released Keepsakes (was Widdershins ) is incredibly simple, because it's supposed to be an all-ages game. But yeah. I want a game where poison is lethal, you need to keep track of that stuff and prepare for it. I want a game where if you're out in the wilderness, there's things like exposure , and you could ...

  Voodoo Dolly here with big news!! Keepsakes and the Advanced Story Point System(ASPS) are coming to Kickstarter!  The ASPS is a core engine made to be quick and easy. It gives you the ability to create customized framework tailored to your specific game world, with mechanics you've built to fit your vision.  Build your character's background, attributes, influence, and conditions. All can be tailored to suit your game - glass, race, equipment, abilities, talents, flaws, and more.  ASPS provides the tools to make the world you want to run, and gives you the game engine to make it a reality with a minimum of work.  Pre-set genres are in the works for GMs who would prefer to use them!  Keepsakes uses the ASPS. You awaken as a Widdershin, a cast-aside toy once deeply loved, brought to life when separated from your owner. Armed with a magical key that transforms into a weapon when needed, you protect humanity from the unseen things that lurk in the darkness u...

'Keepsakes' March 11 Stream Recap

Image
 Voodoo Dolly here, bringing you a recap of last Thursday's Keepsakes  playtest before we kick off tonight's stream!  When we last left off, our heroes were once again dealing with the Great Winged One! After convincing her they were not a threat and took refuge inside the trunk of the tree. There, they met a snake that told them of a bridge they could cross that could lead them to where Ann might be. They find it, and after crossing with no issues, took the sewer to get across the street to an abandoned store and factory. After dealing with some cursed cutlery, a Jack-in-the-Box armed with scissors, and some haunted mannequin heads, they venture further into the building and find Ann! Ann requests their help in dealing with the inklings: strange shadows that like to cause mischief. Ann believes they are harming the residents of the area and that they may have driven away the owner of the store. She asks that they bring the inklings to her so that she may deal with them, ...

'Keepsakes' Recap and Stream!

Image
  VooDoo Dolly here, bringing you a recap of our last Keepsakes  playtest!  During our last stream, our team of brave Widdershin narrowly avoided a vicious attack by El Gato! After some distractions by Socks and some fast-talking by Drifter, they escape with their wits intact and head back to the little girl’s bedroom. Buttons reads the note and discovers she ran away to look for her doll, Sally. Buttons and Socks join forces to track the girl to a quiet road where she’s looking for her doll, and she soon discovers the Widdershin and after a failed attempt at communication, brings them all back to her room. Once back, they discover Ann had been hiding in a can! Ann takes off, ignoring their attempts to get her attention, and they follow her to the playground and into the forest, home of the Great Winged One. As they continue to follow Ann, they can’t figure out why she’s behaving so strangely for a Widdershin. They are spotted by the Winged One during their pursuit, and d...

After Drifter channeled his inner Kool-Aid man to break through the rat hole into the living room they once again encounter the deadly El Gato! Will they be able to escape his clutches and rescue Ann? Find out tonight on twitch.tv/foolsmoonentertainmentinc !
