Game[edit source]

This system is "pre-alpha", not done, not playtested (1:31:09-1:31:26)
This system is "2 or 3 steps" away from Unforgotten Realms. (1:31:32-1:31:41)
Goals of the epithet system:Anyone can pick up and play quickly (1:31:42-1:32:46)
- - No Modifiers, No stats
    - People homebrew stats back into this system and that is fine
    - Base System no one should have to rethink about adding modifiers
      - Jello has had to cut mechanics for being too complicated for people new to TTRPG
  - Should take 20 minutes to create a character
    - Most of that 20 minutes is thinking of what they can do
Nat 20 system (1:32:52-1:34:38)
- [Graph]
- This system is mostly playable just from the information from this stream (1:33:06-
  - Not terribly different from Anime Campaign
  - It has been made easier
  - System good for game balancing (GM), anyone can play
  - Plent of Examples to learn how to balance
  - Every rule can be changed
[Stamina] (1:34:40-1:35:04)
[Profiency] (1:35:05-1:35:46)
- Profiency is now points to spend instead of level
[Compainship] (1:35:46-1:38:25)
- Jello stole this idea from a group of guys Savi* works with
- Savi is an AC fan
- They did a lot of playtesting with their own version of AC
- Rosh* came up with Mundie Compainship type
- Very experimental; subject to change
- Change name to Buddy?
- Get points by working with a Buddy, at a certain point you get an explicit ability that can be leveled up
[Pips] (1:38:25-1:39:24)
- Inspired by Dropout's system: Kids on Bikes
- Jello likes rewarding players for failing
- Everytime a player "fucks up" you get a Pip
- A dot over an i is called a Pip
- You can spend 1 pip in the future to get a +1
- There's an archetype that gets extra Pips
- There's an archtype that can add Pips to other people's rolls that is doubled, can't use on self
How to play (combat) (1:39:25-1:52:32)
- Encounter vs combat (Other things other then fights can be Encounters)
  - Example: A character is going into heart attack and everyone is a Doctor
  - Example: High stakes date in Anime Campaign
  - Time is of the Essense, high states, everyone roll Initiave
  - Dating scenrio is a highlight of anime camapign
  - Waiters vs players trying to either help or worsen the date
  - Out the box encounters are better
  - Action and Movement is the exact same
  - Things like Attack rolls, damage, etc. work the same
  - Success is mailable
  - Nat 20 and Nat 1 are not always catathorpic or Amazing
  - gifts on failure is important
  - External reasons are an option
  - The gradient of succes is very helpful
  - No one should ever feel like they have no options that do something
  - System meant for players and GM to work together instead of fighting each other
  - Players be clear about what you want to do to GM
  - Not everything needs to be random
  - [various specfic rules about combat
    - [Disadvantage and Advantage]
    - [Dialog movement rule]
    - [Delaying your turn]
    - [Combided attack]
