GM to Player Engagement
One of the big things we try to do is let everyone have some spotlight and help tell stories that can bring about big character moments for personal development. By coordinating between players and GMs, narratives can be built that brings everyone into each other's stories for an interwoven experience!
TTRPG Facts
We utilize Final Fantasy Apocalypse, a 2d6 system based around the mix of hard complications, mixed successes, and total successes. It is based on the principles and design of the Powered by the Apocalypse TTRPG system. When you join our GMs will help you make your character sheet.
FFA Template Character Sheet
For a sneak peak of how we organize our character sheets, you can review the Character Sheet Template below. Our character sheets are in a collaborative document (with restrictions on templates) to allow players to adjust their sheets as needed during events, complete with an overview tab to allow for GMs to keep track of player health and status effects as they're updated in real time. The sheets are designed for easy building with automated dropdown choices.
​
On the right hand side of our character sheet, there is a section labeled "Gear, Spells, and Techniques". This is where various 'things' your character can utilize throughout the event will go, ranging from equipment to magic spells to any other creative use of our build system. Below the character sheet, we have an example of our build calculator which helps our players balance their builds with pre-determined tags, each tag assigned a number of points as balanced by our system creator.
