QuestionShould I draw my RPG map or print one out?
Community AnswerThe choice is entirely yours, as both drawing and printing maps for your RPG are valid options. You can design and print maps using online tools; if you lack color ink, consider printing graph paper as a base. Alternatively, you can draw your map by hand. Ultimately, how you create your RPG's visuals is completely up to you. -
QuestionWhere do I find a 20-sided die?

QuestionHow can I design an RPG that will appeal to girls, considering that my primary audience will be female players?
Community AnswerWhen designing an RPG, focus on engaging content and treat all your characters with equal consideration and dignity. In my experience, there's little fundamental difference in what appeals to girls and boys in game mechanics or themes; the key is respectful representation. Avoid tropes where female characters serve only as plot devices or rewards, and ensure they have opportunities to be as central and impactful as male characters in all aspects of the game. -
QuestionCan I create an RPG based on a copyrighted story or concept?
Community AnswerYou can create an RPG based on a copyrighted work. However, if you plan to sell or distribute it commercially, you must first obtain permission from the copyright holder, as doing so without authorization can lead to significant legal issues. Securing these rights often involves complex negotiations, potentially requiring legal assistance. If you cannot obtain permission, you can still enjoy your RPG privately with friends. -
QuestionWhat should I do if no one wants to play my RPG?

QuestionShould I create many enemies for my RPG?
Community AnswerYes, you should create a diverse range of enemies with varied abilities and difficulties. This variety will prevent the game from becoming repetitive or boring, even through simple adjustments like damage dealt or taken. However, avoid overwhelming players by introducing too many challenging foes simultaneously, particularly at lower levels.

QuestionI'm trying to write my own rule book, and I was wondering if it would be better to write it completely in a notebook, or write it in Word and print it out.
Extreme GamerCommunity AnswerIf it is an RPG between you and your friends, it would be easier to write it in a notebook. Although, if you plan to publish it and sell it to people, you should type it out. -
QuestionIs it recommended to have rules in place to stop players from doing pointless actions?
Community AnswerNot really. The point of a tabletop roleplaying game is for people to create characters and control their actions. While from the GM's perspective it may be pointless, it may make sense from the player's perspective, or something done to enhance the player's fun of the game. If you have a problem with a player's actions, talk to the player outside of the session.

QuestionHow do I use my own rules for my own RPG if no one wants to play with me?
Community AnswerIt's all up to you. There are websites that allow you to design a map yourself, and you can then print it out, as long as your printer has colored ink. If you don't have colored ink, or you have only black, you can always go to Google images for graph paper, and print that out. You can also draw it yourself. It's your RPG, you make the rules and the setup.

QuestionHow should I order the rules in the rule book for my tabletop RPG?
Community AnswerTypically, you'll want to order them from most to least basic. Information about the world at large, how to move about and fight, and basic mechanics like healing or what happens upon death should come first. Then comes more in-depth things like skills, character classes and races, and abilities. Anything more complicated should come after that.

QuestionWhat strategies can I use to effectively blend modern and fantasy elements in my RPG?
Community AnswerYou have two main approaches: depict technology and magic as competing forces, where advancements in one are balanced by the other, or show them augmenting each other. For example, if modern cars exist, magic might offer creatures capable of similar speeds, or cars could be magically fueled. The key is to establish consistent rules for their interaction within your game world.

QuestionWhat is a good website for making my own character sheets?
Community AnswerLook up pictures and look up things that go on character sheets. For example, look up what a character sheet looks like, then modified it to your needs. The looking up and modifying your favorites tends to work best of all, as then you can tailor it to what you most need and like. Once you've done this, keep the template copy for future copy-making.

QuestionHow can I create a character sheet?

QuestionWhen should an non-player character get a token? When they are born/hatched/germinated/constructed, or the moment the player characters meet them for the first time?
Andrew WilsonCommunity AnswerIt can be any way you want. These are steps on how to make your game. If you don't want tokens, you don't need them. Try to make it s that they don't gain tokens. In the rule book you would make it where there is a paragraph explaining this.
