    So I've never met Scotty (ONE DAY!), but he sure seems like a super chill and fun guy that's got Bob Ross levels of easy going. I think what makes EZD6 so great aside from the genius simplicity and flow, is that his personality actually comes through the rules. The entire thing just screams (calmly) "just have fun, man." I introduced it to my dnd group and we were just laughing, giggling, and have a good ol' time the entire session. Scotty might not be physically present at your table, but the spirit of Scotty sure is, and he's making sure you have a good time. I just wish we could hurry up and finish out our 5e campaign so we could make our switch like we've been wanting to.

    Character sheets, I always look at a games character sheet first, it tells me everything I need to know at a glance. You are right, a game's magic system must be good and I LOVE EZD6's magic system. Physics is about order and consistency, magic is about chaos and breaking the rules.

    • @hanlonsrazor9441
      @hanlonsrazor9441 Год назад +1

      Agreed as usual. This has become my go-to game. The only thing I might homebrew is to somehow still make it an incentive for Conjurors to seek out magic books to learn some spells in addition to what they can already do. I mean if they can come up will all the spells on the fly what need is there to seek forbidden spell knowledge from Grimoires in dusty old tombs and such. I'm referring to spells they can learn Not spell scrolls. Those are cool too but only a one time use. Just trying to come up with a solution to this issue. Hope Scotty has a good idea. Maybe they can learn spells from other Circles of Sorcery if they find the spell books. Perhaps, ritual magic must be sought out or something. I dunno. Anyway, see ya on Dungeon Craft. - Jay

I think you are on the right track, dividing magic into circles or schools, e.g. Fire, Water, Earth, Wind, Light, Spirit, and limiting casters so they have to find a mentor or books to improve their knowledge of magic, which might allow the wizard to cast spells from different schools or more powerful spells or to get more power the PC must make a Faustian bargain. Lot's of possibilities here.

      My advice is to pick a cool one-shot and run it for them. The beauty of the game shines in play. One play and most groups are easy to convince. Also, learning many new games is like taking a college course, and most people don't have time for that. EZD6 circumvents that with ease of use.

    Creating characters can be a lot of fun, and a Session 0 is great if you're going to do a full campaign. But if you just want to pick up and play, most rpg's make that impossible to do quickly. I've had countless pick-up games fail to really go anywhere because we ran out of time to play, and that 30 minutes to an hour of *basic* character creation was often part of the problem, especially with noobs. This system looks great for all that and more.

    I started playing ttrpgs back in 1981, I have played many systems, IMO EZD6 is what happens if you evaporate all the things that slow down game play and just leave the best bits. I have not played a game save ICPRG where it is in the players hands to figure out how to do things w/o feeling like the overcomplicated character sheet is a jail, preventing a player from a creative solution to the conflict/problem. A spell from a spell list limits what the player can do. EZd6 gives players the freedom to make any character they want and frees the GM to create the challenges that allow that player to fulfill their fantasy.

    Scotty, I absolutely love EZD6. I have switched over completely as in my opinion is the best TTRPG in my library hands down. Just a quick question. If Conjurors can come up with all of their spells on the fly for me that removes some of the incentive to seek out old grimoires in old tombs and dungeons so they can learn new spells. I know they can still seek magic items and scrolls for a one time use which are also have been better done in this game than any other I've seen. I'm just looking to give them incentive to gain more spell knowledge. Perhaps ritual magic must be sought out or spells they can learn from other Circles. I'm not sure. I would appreciate any advice Scotty might have on this as he has likely dealt with this as the games creator. Thanks.

    • @theDMsCraft
