The Gaming Den

Telling the GM who read (or God forbid, bought ) your book to fuck off and figure out how to make an RPG themselves is not game design. I'm sad you came in attacking me without even reading the book (btw, if you had spared the trouble to do it, you'd find it is a free fan-material), so let me try t...

(...) why even have variable skills or roll the die at all? The point of the skill check is to add some amount of randomness to events that aren't certain. I agree with you! You answered the question yourself. According to the Challenge rules in the book (page 103), you roll dice for skills if the ...

This is why I avoided pinning down those DCs in the book. You might want to either re-think this stance, or re-think the idea of having stats and rules at all. Seriously, I'd be less annoyed if you just told GMs to label gaps with "No problemo," "50-50 you'll make it" and "...

First of all, sorry for the late reply. I somehow managed to miss this post entirely. Let me address your concern. My problem with setting DCs on the book is that you create an "oficial rule" for it. Lets use "jumping across a chasm X wide" as an example. As soon as I set the dif...

I REALLY love Tactics Ogre (actually more than FFT), but I preferred to keep things simple and focus solely on FFT. Maybe a future worldbook about Zeteginea, Lodis and Valeria?

Visiting to say this project is not dead. So here's the release of another sourcebook, this time the Final Fantasy Tactics Worldbook! http://bit.ly/FFRPG4thDLC4 It contains: Ivalice setting, history and geography; Campaign ideas; Rules for Freelancer Main Job (job-changing system) and Squire Seconda...

There are no in-book examples of difficulties, and the GM is free to decide. I think just creating a difficulty on the fly (be it 35, 36, or whatever) is easier on the GM than looking through the book searching for a "TN per skill" or "TN per level" table. A dif 36 Challenge wil...

You're right. That is exactly how it works. 1d100, roll over difficulty and you succeed. So difficulty ratings range from 1-99... Can you give me an example from the game of a climbing challenge that would be a 35% difficulty and one that would be a 36% difficulty? There are no in-book examples of ...

First, thank you for the feedback :thumb: . Let me try to address your questions and concerns: So if I understand the task resolution system, each challenge has an assigned difficulty (ranging from 1 - 99) representing it's % chance of failure. So a difficulty of 30% requires a roll of 31 or better ...

To those not following the game's subreddit ( https://www.reddit.com/r/FFRPG/ ): there is a new Secondary Job in the oven, to be released with the upcoming FFT Worldbook. So, in a Unearthed Arcana, here you got its first version (DISCLAIMER: This Job is not yet playtested. Use at your own risk): New...

If you can avoid the feature bloat of PTU, this can be better than it.

First, let me introduce me. My name is Bruno Carvalho and i've been playing and GM'ing since the nineties (1994, to be exact). I'm from Brazil and a huge fan of the Returner's FFRPG (been playing it since the First Edition - and yes, it was EVEN WORSE than the dreaded second). Upon the death of the ...
