Open4E

This system is intended to be a streamlined and open tactical RPG. The primary source of inspiration is Dungeons and Dragons 4th Edition.

Our system goals:

  • A unified class design system, with simplified hybriding and multiclassing
  • Better balance between power choices within a class
  • Smoother progression between levels, and an elimination of "speedbump" and "tax" feats

Pacing and Tempo

During the game, the flow of time may be measured in two distinct pacings, based on the tempo and tactical danger that the characters are in.

Scenes

Scenes are periods of improvisational acting and preparation, where second-by-second decisions are less important than maintaining a smooth flow of the dialog and narration.
