I make TTRPGS. Currently I'm working on Lehn and Settlers of After.
I'm also a drummer, dad, fossil enthusiast, and gamer (tabletop and video).

I've been having fun making mechanics for my TTRPG fishing game, but I'm not sure where I want to take it scope -wise.
Should it just be a plug and play system that is entirely system agnostic,or should I add build out a system for those looking for something more indepth?

Lately I've been working on fishing mechanics for ttrpgs.
I already made one for 'standard' fishing, but now I'm working on fly fishing.
Feelin' pretty good about my progress so far.

#ttrpgmechanics
I'll explain the fly fishing mechanics in a thread.

You had asked about fishing mechanics a few days ago and I feel I have something to report.
Mind you I'm in the processes of testing these mechanics, but I feel I've got a good start.

Looking for a game where every choice is a balance between risk and reward? Where you dance along the knife's edge of success or failure.
'Lehn' features a fun Push and Pull system, perfect #storytellers, #politicaldrama fans or those eager to bounce #characters off one another.

My #WIPWednesday is a fishing mechanic.
I'm a big fan of fishing in video games and I wanted to capture that general feeling in a #ttrpg setting.
Hook a fish > fight to reel in > Capture (weight/length)

If anyone is interested in testing shoot me a DM and we'll roll some dice and catch some fish.

Hey #ttrpgcommunity,
I don't suppose anyone would like to help me 'find the fun' in a fishing mechanic I'm working on.
This would have to be performed through DMs or Discord as I'm currently at work.

If you're interested in helping me out grab a d6 and maybe a d4.

Come dance along the knifes edge between success and ruin. Will you risk it all on a big payout or play it safe for political gain?
Dynamic push and pull dice mechanics mixed with tarot-driven storytelling makes every scene immersive and weighted by risk and reward.

Hey folks,
I'm trying to figure out a bell curve for dice combinations rolling equal to or higher than a second set of dice combinations.

For example what is the likely hood of rolling equal to or higher than a d4 when rolling 2d4, 1d6, 1d6+1d4, 2d6, 1d8, 1d8+1d4 up to 2d20.

Got the start of my new fishing mechanics going.
I figured some rules around hooking a fish and a means to 'fight' the fish as you reel it in.
Right now I'm testing to find the fun and see about tweaking numbers to better fit the game feel of catching a fish.
I think it's a good start.

@worldbuildcast.bsky.social as world builders I'm curious if you'd be interested in playing my TTRPG Lehn (for free, of course).
I feel you'd enjoy the tarot prompted world building it features.

Not looking for advertising or anything like that. Just looking to share my game with like-minded folks.
