Lose the Crunch - Advocating for Rules Light TTRPGs
Thu 4:00 PM - Thu 5:00 PM: 36 tickets, $0 each (Official Listing)

When it comes to TTRPGs, rules can often stand between you and having fun. Especially if they lead to lots of math. Join us to hear about the joys of games with smaller numbers and less of them!

Long Description:
Stat modifiers? Critical tables? Defense actions? Who needs these things? Do you dream of sitting down for a session of improvised narrative nearly devoid of those bothersome shiny math rocks? You might be ready for a rules light ttrpg system. If you're a roleplayer who is ready to branch out, a game runner seeking to craft a more narrative driven experience, or just someone with a penchant for shared storytelling, this panel is for you. We'll discuss mechanics from various systems that encourage "rules light" play, tools to foster a cooperative story-centric mind-set at your table, and share why you may not need to roll as much as you think, even in games that do have some crunch to them.
