I see where Evan took a lot of inspiration for Nimble from. This video was great, I heard about Mausritter a lot, but never gave it a chance. It actually sounds good.
Love this one. Is defo the best for one-shots or short campaigns. And it always catches the players by surprise how secretly violent and ruthless is this cute game.
Interesting system and good for a one-shot, but I'm instantly turned off by the counterintuitive high is bad low is good psychology of roll under systems. Attacks that always hit, would make weapon skills meaningless. The reason you miss a lot in D&D is because the d20 is too dynamic. That's why any d20 system is called swingy. Dave Arneson is the one who introduced the d20 into D&D from d20s he purchased back in the 60's from a game store in London's West End. Dave was already using the d20 in Blackmoor. Dave also brought in Armor Class and Hit Points to D&D from Civil War Ironclads.

@@nimbleCoI feel like Whitehack is the only system with roll under that makes it logical because it's a roll between system (armor / save is low value and stat is high value) and crits happen on equaling stat so it's a roll under but roll high if that makes sense
Such a great, compact system. I'm very glad you went over this! Love it.
I love the physical tokens for the equipment in Mausritter! Small, intimate games like Maustritter are great inspiration for designers!

Clicked for the game, stayed for the background, subscribed for the content. Great video🤜🤛
Great game. You have a very pleasant voice and I really like your video. So calming and nice
thanks!
I love Mausritter. I've been running it for almost a year and I can't recommend it enough

I bought mausritter compulsively along with the expansion and I am yet to play it. Kinda bothers me since I really like the concept
Looking for a solo rpg any ideas please
My favourite part of the book is the gamesmaster tools which unfortunately you skipped over.
Have you considered audio recording book readings? Very calm and pleasant voice
hah, thanks!
Honestly, this kinda sounds like Cairn, but still really interesting!
both are drawing upon the Into The Odd "engine" so to squeak-ahem....so to speak
@@spudsbuchlaw Yeah that's fair, it's the grounds for basically all rules-light TTRPGs.
Elijah Course
Nice video !
Take a look at Mousegaurd.
Mouseguard is AMAZING. I mean the Comics, not the TTRPG.
So, are you a ROOT type of guy?
Never played it, is it good?

🥳🫂👍🏿
I was mentioning this in the discord recently - Cairn is similar in its design
Fun ideas, but roll under is just an unsatisfying mechanic.
Why so? Honest question
Yeah, it feels weird to want to roll high sometimes (when attacking), and low other times (saves).
