Let's share some ideas of things, or help one another get those ideas on the page!
I am curious if the 5-Ring-Structure of Trophy would fit for Raids and eventually a reduced x-Ring-Structure for Strikes?
The Structure could help the GM (What it‘s name here? Tower, Mind, Wayfarer, the Guide?) guide the Beacons through their mission, deeper and deeper into the darkness.
It could provide an overall Theme, Moments, Conditions, even Encounters, Lore and Mysteries, too.
sounds p fun! two areas for improvement in my mind. 1. is that trophy is not very combat focused, so there will be some changes to the structure to accommodate battles. 2. trophy is play to lose, so unless you want Beacons to die/fail at the end, the final ring would have to be more open to success scenarios.
I think you are on to something here! would be really cool to see what you come up with.
Great that you like the idea, too!
A friend suggested the structure of Trophy Gold, but I have not played it yet, not even LIGHT.
Unfortunately, I haven't had time yet due to other projects, but I plan to.
I am aware of the two points, of course, they must be adapted or provide the possibilities.
The structure should only provide the skeleton. What is the theme here? What happened? What is happening now? What hurdles do we have to overcome now? Above all, how? And what if not?
