#247. How Vampire: the Masquerade Landed on D&D Beyond!

Yes

...

if folks are listening to this and wanna go back and, and take a look.

But final question, uh, again, for folks, uh, getting to know you for the first time, Jen, what's your favorite role playing game system?

I always go to Ten Candles.

I will talk-

... for forever, uh, about Ten Candles.

I, I think it's just the most economical design and elegant design.

I think it will change the way people think about role play, and the, change the way that, that DMs and GMs think about how much they can allow their characters to carry the weight of storytelling.

It forces people to drive toward a, an endpoint, and it, it's has a mechanical system that accelerates narrative toward a specific endpoint, um, and intensifies everything.

It has atmospheric elements that shift those dynamics.

I've never played a game where someone didn't have a, an intense, intense emotional reaction to the experience.

Like, everything about that game, I think, is just magic.

So that, that sort of is my instinct, but I mean, I've also been, you know, playing D&D for 20, I don't know, years.

Um [laughs]

[laughs] Ah, yeah.

So that was my entry point, like it is for most people.

But, uh, there are so many incredible systems out there.

There's so many amazing games, you know.

How lucky are we to live in a time where we have this plethora of-

Spoilt for choice.

So spoiled for choice.

The golden age of tabletop RPGs, one might say.

Yes.
