Introducing Maz Games!!!
Inspired by various things such as DnD and other (tt)rpgs, video games, anime, various videos by “Magic the Noah” on youtube, and more!
“Maz Games” have a set of base game rules that are used for several individual games. This is much like how DnD has different campaigns and/or oneshots, but they all use the same base rule set.
Unlike DnD, Maz Games are light on rules, and the rules are inherently, as intended by the creator, loose and flexible. If it will make the game more fun to disregard or change a rule in one specific instance, that’s what you do! Like DnD, there is a Host/Game Master, who plans the game(s) and has the final word. Then there are players, who explore, or even explode, their way through the game. (Fireball!!!)
Most Games will have less plot, story, and character interaction style roleplay than what you might expect from DnD. in this it is a bit more like board games, or some rpg video games.
My current plan is for individual games to take no more than two hours. There may be stories that take multiple sessions, but currently I'm focusing on things that should be able to be completed in one sitting.
Maz games are intended to be at least somewhat chaotic, with the often variable rules, and rolls being made to decide the outcome and intensity of said outcome in many cases. Asking “can I do/try this?” is encouraged. The main goal of Maz Games is for everyone participating to have fun!
If this sounds interesting to you, let me know! I have a Discord Server set up for this with more details and space for critique.
