What Free Cultural Works have inspired your play? Your game designs? What fears keep you from making your efforts available as Free Cultural Works? Share your thoughts. 12/…

I also want to shout out 🙌 to @EvilHatOfficial for leading by example. Since their 2012 Fate Core Kickstarter, nearly all their releases have been available under CC-BY. They've proven you can run a sustainable business while supporting Free Culture. 11/…

With both @LameMage's "Red & White" and @DyversHands' "Tableau" being made available as Free Cultural Works, we are hoping to see even more creativity in the #gmless #TTRPG space. Let's keep expanding its potential in exciting ways! 10/…

The design of "Tableau: Accelerated Core Rules" was particularly inspired by @averyalder's "belonging outside belonging" (aka #BoB or #NoDiceNoMasters) system, and thus is particularly useful if you want to create your own games in that style. 9/…

Our goal in licensing these CC-BY? To inspire new creations, mashups, & extensions of the "Tableau" storytelling system. Whether you're an indie designer, a fan of variants, or part of a storytelling community, feel free to use, remix, and even sell your new works! 8/…

"Lovecraft Country: Dark Expeditions" is our first accelerated Storyset (of four) inspired by the mythos of H.P. Lovecraft and other classic adventures beyond the edge of the known world into ancient mysteries and cosmic horror. 7/…

"Tableau: Accelerated" is a #gmless storytelling system that emphasizes collaborative storytelling. It is designed to be composable and flexible, allowing storytellers to create stories in just a few hours in a wide variety of genres and styles. 6/…

At Dyvers Hands Productions, we also believe in the power of community & collaboration. That’s why we released both our new "Tableau: Accelerated Core Rules" & "Lovecraft Country: Dark Expeditions Storyset" under a CC-BY license as well! 5/…

Not all #CreativeCommons licenses meet the Free Cultural Work standard. For example, -NC (Non-Commercial) is on the edge (I don’t think it qualifies), and -ND (No Derivatives) doesn’t cut it at all. 4/…

So what are Free Cultural Works? It’s all about freedom: • Freedom to use and enjoy the work • Freedom to study and apply knowledge • Freedom to copy and share • Freedom to remix and distribute improvements 3/…

I appreciate and thank Ben for contributing Red & White our shared commons. By releasing under CC-BY, he's helping grow the GMless player community and game designer ecosystem, and contributing to #FreeCulturalWorks movement. 2/… https://t.co/BbnJOljyuB

In praise of #TTRPG Free Cultural Works: Ben Robbins @lamemage (author of Microscope) has released Red & White, a version of his Follow #gmless #ttrpg rules under a CC-BY License! It's a subset of his free Follow: A New Fellowship. /1…

@Appelcline @threadreaderapp unroll

If you are also considering other aspects of randomness, such as different kinds of distributions, need for chaos/uncertainty, and game balance, I commend you to this excellent post by my long-time co-author @Appelcline at https://t.co/hYGjIQuYay. 16/16 ៚

So in summary, my answer to "purpose and place of randomizers" is to create different kinds of tension, and thus the tone of the story. And that there are many variations of both for different genre styles, thus many kinds of randomizers …/15

I find as compared to "Declare", "Push" totally changes the Tone of the storytelling. I said with "Drama Tokens" that an "Indiana Jones" expedition, giving a token at the beginning of each Act is exciting. But I find "Push" supports an even more Pulp-oriented Tone. …/14

If you don't want to be vulnerable in a future scene (1-4), you can role another d6 added to your first d6. If the result is 5 (simple success) or 6 (extraordinary success) then your Push was successful. But on 7+, you fail, and worse, more bad things happen. …/13
