#gaming challenges

[marsscorkboard]

Shanah Tova! Made myself some reading and gaming challenges for the coming year in my media journal. I was jealous of all the journaling creators who always start their reading journals so neat and tidy in January, and I figured hey, I have a different new year coming up soon. The pages are still awkwardly in the middle of my media journal, so not at all neat and tidy, but I’m still excited by the challenge.

To celebrate 4K Subs!

To pay homage to a very special videogame.

Through relentless, self-inflicted misery.

D&D challenge: Autistic character stats

Put a -15 debuff on your charisma stat and each turn the character is able to perform an action roll a d20 and if it lands on a 15 or above the character must use one move of their choosing that would be available to them after levelling up in future but only for that acting turn.

If the character is socially pressured as part of the narrative, or if the player of said character, is witness to too much stress from other players, whether or not it is directed at the autistic character's player, the autistic character must skip a turn.

The autistic character is allowed to carry an item known as their comfort item which they can choose to equip that will negate the stress from previously stated situations denying the skip of a turn for two turns, however the use of said item to do so, will itself skip a single turn, the two unskipped turns following immediately after.

For every turn the comfort item is used in combat, in the next conflict the comfort item must be used that number of turns at the start of the fight.

This does not carry over to the fight after the next fight.

The autistic character must be used on the first persuasion check of the campaign and then again after the number of checks has equalled the number of players for example, 4 players means every 4 checks, etc.

In this, non-combatants and non-allies do not count towards said number of players.

If 2 or more autistic characters are in play, one autistic character can perform a comfort action to another.

This has the same effect as the comfort item, skipping a turn on both sender and receiver, but giving the buff of no skipped turns for the following 3 turns to both sender and receiver.

However should either character die, following this shared action stated above, the other character left alive will skip the next 3 turns.

This also comes into effect if said paired character leaves the party for any other reason.

Players are encouraged to prioritise staying calm however, actions that break some sort of rule be it social, moral, legal, physical, etc, whether or not it was right or wrong to do so, will count towards stressing the autistic character.

The enemy on seeing the autistic character use the comfort item may attempt to steal the item deliberately.

If this happens, the autistic character will immediately skip 3 turns.

If the party is able to return the comfort item, the person seen as responsible for its return by the character the item was stolen from will have acted as if they performed the comfort action, preventing the next 3 turns skipping for the character that had their item returned but also auto-skipping 3 successive turns if the item rescuer leaves like stated above.

The autistic character has a fascination connected to their chosen comfort item.

This can be used as a quirky narrative character trait but at least one time during the campaign this fascination must play a role in actions that may affect the party's dynamic.

At this point the party leader must choose whether they approve or not of the autistic character's fascination.

Whether they are willing to tolerate it or not, if they disapprove of the autistic character's fascination, the autistic character will gain 1 skipped turn at the start of every battle.

This can be negated by the group of players not including the leader of the party, rolling a combined value of 15 or above from each rolling a d20.

This roll for encouragement is not influenced by charisma stat but those who have shared a comfort action with the autistic character in question or returned their comfort item, will add a value of 2 to this number in addition to their roll value.

This encouragement action does not imply that the ones encouraging approve of the fascination of the autistic character.

Players are encouraged to have their roles act in character regarding their approval of the autistic character's fascination regardless of whether the player using said character has their own opinions of it.

Following this event, the leader's choice and the encouragement roll, the autistic character's fascination does not need to be brought up again but players can choose to do so if they please.

Bare in mind that saying negative things about the autistic character's fascination do count towards stressing the autistic character.

The level of stress the autistic character is affected by should be down to the group to decide however the DM is allowed to have the final say.

The gameplay should be fun and enjoyable and every player responds to challenges like this in different ways so the system should be used accordingly so as not to result in a bad time.

If there are no actions left to unlock for the autistic character, their charisma debuff is removed and they get a 15 point buff to one stat of their choosing.

However, this does not affect any of the other aspects regarding the autistic character's mechanics.

Sunday Musings: Spiritual Freedom: Breaking Free from Fear

What’s On My Mind Today? 0400, and my Malinois just went full commando on a suspicious rustling leaf. While I’m trying to explain that not everything needs a tactical response, I’m thinking about fear. The Corps taught me to face it head-on, my dog thinks it’s an invitation to advance, and here I am, somewhere between their fearlessness and my own careful calculations. Tactical Freedom…
