Not necessarily like stonetop or dolemnwood where there’s so much content you can just keep playing forever. I’m wondering if there’s a more traditional adventure module that you play through and finish. I want the players at the end to say, “Yknow what would be fun? Lets play the scenario again and see if we can do better / uncover more secrets. Let’s gen up a new group of characters, but with this change or that change” or something like that. That’s what I’m trying to make - is there something like that that exists?

Band of Blades is the best example I’ve found

One of the scenarios I’m working on (Gaias Garden) has the PCs playing as naturalists teleported by Gaia (supreme nature spirit) to her realm. She does this once a millennia to give mortals’ greatest minds the chance to discover the unifying theory/message of natures laws, as well as maybe bring something back to their world to help their people. The Garden will be procedurally generated arena full of mostly traversal, survival, and exploration gameplay.

I’m thinking of a list of naturalist/botanist/spiritual types people to use as “classes”

A modern climate change researcher
A friar of St. Francis de Assisi
A new age one with nature hippie
A black plague doctor
An elven Druid
A super advanced alien bioengineer
A great explorer (Polynesian seafarer, Lewis and Clark, or something)
A big game hunter / conservationist
A teen from a cyberpunk dystopia that’s only ever read about “plants”
A Buddhist monk seeking enlightenment
A Tarzan raised by apes/wolves type thing

I recognize I’m just asking to be given ideas, but if you think it’s fun I appreciate any time you spend on it!

For example, Infinity, Middle Earth SBG, Frostgrave, Killteam, and many others. They are already well tuned systems that are fun to play. Couldn’t a lightly modified version of them just be the combat chapter in your RPG?

Versus the (an) opposing idea

Using a common resolution system for all actions, combat or not (d20+mod vs DC, for example), was a great break thru and using tabletop war game rules would be a step backwards.

What do you think?
