Not GM-less, since you passed the role around, but definitely collaborative. <br /><br />Based on the computer game Rune if I remember correctly.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4143435314932633148.post-5437847715296428682014-03-06T05:50:31.950-08:002014-03-06T05:50:31.950-08:00Thanks for the suggestions, folks.

I've also tried the 9Qs solo gaming system, both alone and in group. However, I don't know that I've played another game specifically targeted at GM-less gaming.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4143435314932633148.post-7406477057865477322014-03-05T14:53:08.052-08:002014-03-05T14:53:08.052-08:00You should consider Mythic.

Unlike those other games, it works like a traditional (or what I'd call "real") RPG, but builds a mechanism that makes every GM decision subject to the "oracle of the dice", as it were. It also includes elements that help to tie everything into a coherent narrative, without being all "story first" about it. It's just about the best compromise between actual RPGs and Story Games that I've been able to find.faoladhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03691952430041394614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4143435314932633148.post-54081680461659113202014-03-05T14:43:27.655-08:002014-03-05T14:43:27.655-08:00One game you might want to check out is the Pathfi...One game you might want to check out is the Pathfinder Adventure card game by Paizo. I was pretty cynical of it at first, but Ive warmed up to it as we have been playing it. It uses one of the Pathfinder adventure paths (Rise of the Rune Lords), tells a story, allows everyone to play and participate and their actions guide the story, you level, gain items, lose items, etc. It lacks a little in the role playing aspect, but this element can easily be brought to the table with the right group.<br /><br />I have also thought about doing something similar with Warhammer Quest Game. Since you all get to play characters, and the quests and game boards and monsters are all random as you go along. If there were a way to work this system idea into an aspect of role playing that worked well, id like to do it. The problem is keeping a regular narrative that everyone contributes to and has reason to ( perhaps exp based narrative for example). <br /><br /><br />Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13878509009285202499noreply@blogger.com
