@deinol@dice.camp I’m sure you could quite easily run Keep on the Borderlands with Thirsty Sword Lesbians, and it might even make Keep on the Borderlands enjoyable to play

@mdhughes @mhd I like it too, albeit with some more sensible values to the aging. The game that I wrote has a similar system, where you can only get experience from two adventures per year, so things happen on a longer time scale. We’ve been playing for 3 years IRL which matches to about 10 years in game. It’s fun seeing the characters grow so long as it’s a reasonable rate

@mhd @mdhughes yeah I agree with you I think, it needs to be diagetic. It works well in Pendragon because your characters are knights, not adventurers, so you wouldn’t be expected to adventure 24/7, you have other responsibilities, and the roleplaying is not limited to “adventures”. It doesn’t make sense to force extended downtime for a “traditional D&D” dungeon crawl type game, and I think forcing more than a few months will always feel weird anyway.
