5 TTRPG Mechanics That Just Work

We’re gonna have a look at some TTRPG mechanics that I thought were either really helpful or really interesting. These are DEFINITELY not my “top picks” by any means, but just the ones I chose for this video. There’s definitely more to choose from, such as the wound system in Tales From Elsewhere, or the Point Pools in Ironbound, both of which I wanted to talk about (and completely forgot to but that’s neither here nor there). Hope you enjoy! If you’re designing your own system, maybe you’ll get some ideas. Or if you’re just a player, maybe you’ll have a fun suggestion or two for your GM. === Discord === Don't forget to join the squirrel community!
