Alright, my last post said I was ready to playtest. I'm not sure that was true, and after some thought I realized the game was sort of a mess and it didn't really have a place. I needed to figure out where it fit into the world of Rpgs. ExplorerMan! then sort of went into hiding. Will it now come out of it's hibernation? Maybe.
I've recently been finding a number of one shot, rules light, stupid fun Rpgs. Either beefy ones like He Who Laughs Last, longer games like Three Days Until Retirement, or short wonders like Havoc Brigade or Lasers & Feelings. It has struck me that ExplorerMan! would fit well into this model.
I'm hoping to compress and rejigger the rules on this a bit and come up with a way to revive the game in this style. Perhaps I can feed a bit of Fiasco into it.
Some rules goals:
-Stupid numbers of dice. Everyone loves rolling a bucket load.
-Bonus dice a la Savage Worlds.
-Above all, KISS
With luck, I will see you soon
