[Spellbound] Alpha Questionnaire
Posted: Wed Mar 29, 2023 1:25 am
Normally I've been creating topics in the busier forum (IMHO), generally I've justified this because many of the mechanics in spellbound are works in progress which have undergone vast changes and are hopefully informative or interesting in a general sense. However, spellbound is taking shape and is closer to being a usable system which is less open to drastic changes, all of which feels like the homebrew subforum makes for a more appropriate home for discussion.
I really have appreciated everyone's feedback so far, agreeable or not, it all does help inform my intentions and influence my work. Recently, I've been mostly writing rules for character creation with the expectation of having a playable alpha to test, and it has been much harder than expected. Part of the difficulty has been providing support for what can feel like a endless stream of concepts, not entirely surprising as much of rpg design seems to center around splat for PCs. To that end, I made a short questionnaire in hopes of ensuring the alpha has enough meat to be playable. If you have a few minutes, please take a look at the questions and provide any feedback you can.
1. Describe your character concept in a sentence.
2. What’s your primary means of damage at levels 1 and 2?
3. Describe a special attack ability you have at levels 1 and 2.
4. Describe a special defensive ability you have at levels 1 and 2.
5. Describe some utility you have outside of combat at levels 1 and 2.
And again, I appreciate any and all feedback, and if anyone has any interest in becoming more involved please let me know here or via direct message.
