In my blog posts I've been talking a lot about convergent evolution in the #ttrpg space. Eg: daggerheart hope/fear - Cosmere opportunity/complication; daggerheart collaborative scene setting - @hitpointpress.bsky.social #ShiftRPG doing the same; #dnd 2024 and #tov having subclasses at lvl 3.

The Crab Sword: D6
- Can bypass armour traits.
- Bearer can automatically dictate the attitude of any decapod.
- Can summon a sea of crabs. These can automatically downshift any physical trait by 1 until, somehow, Sea of Crabs D4 is dealt with.

Just got my PDF of the Shift RPG. I'm making a version of Orboboros from it.
I am VERY happy to see a stipulation on NOT using generative AI in their license.
Good on them!

Whoever came up with the idea of #ShiftRPG resolution mechanic is a freaking genius.
1 as crit and max number being botch, combined with exhausting the die (increasing it's size) is so elegant it makes me dizzy.
