Since we’ve all got RPGs on the brain lately, our Basecamp Brag this week is unintentionally themed!
First, I want to recognize @Viviane for doing what she does best: asking the perfect questions to cut right to the heart of the matter and help me clarify something important in a way I wouldn’t have gotten at on my own.
Viv’s question about the interaction between magimystic and normal uses of particular skills in the NNRPG Flinterforge Reveal thread helped me articulate the essence of what an augmented skill means within the Briarverse, which is a key distinctive aspect of the RPG. You can read the explanation here, along with the rest of the post if you haven’t already. She also gave me an opportunity to do my second favorite thing and drop a spoiler, which is the official title for a Game Master within the NNRPG: Narrator.
Second, I want to give Wyvern a shout-out for sharing a campaign story that gave me goosebumps just to read. I love hearing about all of the stories that people get to live out through their games, and as someone who gives a ton of attention to small details in the hopes that they’ll pay off potentially years down the line, I’m so impressed with your DM for successfully executing a reveal that was 3 years in the making! It sounded like such an awesome moment for your character and your whole party, and is definitely an inspiration for the kind of storytelling that I hope comes out of the NNRPG.
Thanks everyone for sharing your thoughts and stories this week! Give it up for @Viviane and @Wyvern!
