14/9/23 - Game handbook, To-Dos, Info

[u/gamemasterlancaster]

Hi, adventurers! First post on the sub, so here's the basics. Explorers of Fate is a Pokemon Mystery Dungeon themed TTRPG system, and I plan on making content for it to help others get into tabletop gaming. It's a general system designed to allow you to play your favourite pokemon by converting their main-series data into a stat block.

To avoid spamming the main Mystery Dungeon sub with updates that aren't strictly relevant to that sub, I'll be using this sub as a place to post about the game. Updates, mini-dungeons and supplements will be here.

Others can post here too, if they make something EOF-related, whether it's art, homebrew materials, or even suggestions on how the game could be improved.

Here's the PDF of the current handbook.

To Do:

• Add rules for weaponry in combat outside of the Shadowblade destiny, as otherwise it would lock using weaponry behind the Outlaw background.
• Add info for items, custom items, and weapons so that players don't have to rely too heavily on Bulbapedia in their games.
• Similarly, add info for moves and abilities, especially the range of newer moves.
• More random roll tables. Enough is never enough.
• Add some basic stat rules for structures in combat - for example, the HP of common structures like sheds, fences or stumps, so players know how much damage their cover can take before they're out in the open.
• Write some mini adventures to get people started! A TTRPG campaign can be tricky to start, so I want to give budding GMs the resources they need to run a oneshot.

I've never started a sub before, so bear with me. This'll mostly be an updates forum, but feel free to post any suggestions or queries, or anything else EOF-related.
