r/AgeOfDecadence

Hello drifters!

I’m curious if anyone here also plays D&D and has tried to capture the atmosphere of The Age of Decadence in their campaign.

If you’ve tried something like this, I’d be really grateful for advice. Did you remove, weaken or change any D&D mechanics to make the game feel less heroic and more brutal? Or did you add or emphasize certain rules, systems, factions, social mechanics, scarcity, injuries, reputation, etc.?

I’d especially appreciate concrete examples from your own games: what worked, what didn’t and what helped create that Age of Decadence mood at the table.

Thanks in advance!
