Hey all,
I’m planning to run my first chronicle for the 1999 edition of Hunter: The Reckoning this autumn.
I’m looking for advice on how to start a chronicle, common pitfalls to watch out for, and any general tips for both players and Storyteller.
Any practical guidance or “things I wish I knew” would be really helpful.
Thanks!
What TTRPG do you think should’ve been marketed more as a tactical game or boardgame than a roleplaying game?
I'm thinking about games where the mechanics lean so heavily into combat, tactics, builds, and optimization that the actual roleplaying feels secondary (like Lancer, from what I heard). Which RPG gave you the feeling of “this is basically a tactical skirmish game with RP attached”?
* Edit: meant to write “tactical” in the title.
I’m talking about modules where player choice felt minimal, outcomes were basically predetermined, or the story kept forcing you back onto a fixed path.
Curious which ones stood out and why.
