Weary of Fatigue

Posted May 2, 2008

Wordplay currently has an optional Fatigue and encumbrance system. It follows the standard rules with no changes, but adds another dimension and possible factor to challenges.

Question is do I actually need it? It’s not causing any harm by being in the game but is it adding sufficient value?

Food for thought…

    I don’t think the fatigue stuff is actually needed. Personally I wouldn’t bother using it, but I guess its good for those that like a bit more detail in their game. It works for gritter, more brutal settings as well.

    Hello, Graham.

    I am following Wordplay’s development at the Tavern (where I am lurking of late) and I am liking enormously what I see so far. As for the rules for fatigue and encumbrance, I would keep them, but strictly as options. I think some gamers might find a use for them in grittier settings.

    Thanks Alfredo. I’ll keep them in as an option for now.

    I’d go with optional as well.
