#RPGaDAY2022 – Day 16: What would be your perfect game?
The one I made from all the rules I enjoy. The challenge is in when to stop? For example, my current game of choice is slightly house-ruled D&D B/X. But when I run a session I have a Judge binder with the following:
- GM1a Game Master's Screen (collected tables, and spell digest for magic-user and cleric)
- Good Hits & Bad Misses (Dragon Magazine #39)
- Historical Names make for Better Games (Dragon Magazine #49)
- Different Totes for Different Folks (Dragon Magazine #191)
- Select Arduin tables (criticals and fumbles, morale check for hirelings, magikal equipment saving throw matrix, random chance chart for magik weapon, most malignant and malefic miseries known, random fog and mist generation for dungeon rooms, physical character appearance, special ability charts)
- B⁄X Monster Reference Index
- AX1 d30 DM Companion
- AX2 d30 Sandbox Companion
- Ready Ref Sheets
- Wilderlands Hexplore
There are a lot of procedures that I have at a tip of my fingertips. And most of them are quite situational. Heck, some are about the same thing, but with a different resolution mechanic or results.
Would I want them all in my perfect game? Probably not in the core rulebook. But in a thick supplemental book? Why not!
