Hello, welcome to Dystopic Multiverse,
and in this fifth video of the series about Creating an RPG I want to talk about roles.
When you start developing an RPG in which there is a setting you are necessarily delimiting the role, or rather the roles
that the player characters will be able to act in, that they will be able to play in your game.
This is very clear in games in the World of Darkness line, where you play as a vampire, a werewolf, a mage, a changeling, or a wraith, etc.
and each of these races has a whole culture and a series of restraints specific to them.
Evidently there are more delimitation when you go into the details of each character.
And the...
The possibility of going against the stereotype within a certain kind of character is something that adds to the game, for sure,
it adds to the player's experience with that character, but there are still some limits to what this character may be.
A vampire will always be afraid of fire, burn in sunlight, etc.
Drink blood...
In games that use classes, the character's role is delimited by the kind of game, in a general outline, as well.
And the character's class delimits it even further.
If you play Dungeons & Dragons, your character will most of the time be an adventurer.
And your class delimits what kind of aptitudes you bring to the group, whether you're a warrior, a druid, a bard, or whatever.
The planning... The development, really... Of which character roles you want to make available in your game is very important.
Even in a... In an RPG that is a pure, generic system, without a scenario linked to it, you must take this into consideration,
which roles do you want the characters to be able to play within their respective games, because the rules must support them.
So a game like GURPS, for instance, needs to have a ruleset that is flexible enough to allow the creation of characters
that are interesting and capable of doing something within a story of horror, or supers, or fantasy, or whatever.
A less generic system, but with a... How can I say this... without a scenario delimited but with a specific genre,
like, for instance... All Flesh Must Be Eaten, or Mutants & Masterminds,
the game gives you a structure for characters within that kind of game. In All Flesh Must Be Eaten it will be zombies.
So you have the guidelines to create a character who'll be a survivor, there are different kinds of them and different rules for each,
and for the ways you can create a zombie story, which go from Medieval Fantasy to Science Fiction, going through Pulp and etc.
and rules for creating these zombies, to allow for these different kinds of games.
In Mutants & Masterminds you play with a super-powered character. There are rules, there are several powers,
the ways you can do it, to create protagonists and antagonists,
and from that you develop whatever you want, but your character's role will be that of a super-human, somehow.
Even if it's a regular human with super tech armor, or magic, or even a super-human ability in certain things.
An excellent martial artist, or an alien, or... You know, Supers.
The ruleset, the game gives you a basis to play these roles,
and... Many times, its... It's hard to... Develop it.
You may feel forced to follow the... The lines of the big guys, the giants of this market like Dungeons & Dragons,
or you may feel forced to... To have something like a... A historical accuracy. If you have a game, you're developing a game
set in a period similar to the Viking Age, you must have berserkers, you must have bards, etc.
Ok, if it makes sense within your game, I can see no problem in having druids, bards, clerics, warriors, monks, etc.
But it must make sense! A D&D monk doesn't fit in a Medieval Europe setting... As an example.
And this imposes a limit, even if only for a specific game... The GM has to say "there'll be no monks in this...
Not unless we change the class A LOT!"
Another thing that delimits character roles a lot, like I said in the beggining, are races. In Storyteller and in Storytelling,
both in the Chronicles of Darkness and the World of Darkness, the main delimitation of your role is your race:
Vampires, Mages, Werewolves, Prometheans, Hunters, etc.
This is somewhat present in Dungeons & Dragons, for instance, but in a lesser way because you usually don't deal with the culture
of a specific character, since most groups are multiracial. If you want a game that's focused on a single race,
explore a specific race, you'll end up stepping on the players' toes, like "you can't play a half orc, you can't play an aasimar,
you can't play any of these several races because I want a game about elves."
Ok, there's merit to it, but not every player wants to play that.
If your scenario offers various race options, you have to take that into consideration.
If your scenario doesn't offer various race options, you have to take that into consideration
because... That's something that attracts players too... The races you can play are something interesting in a scenario.
And they delimit a bit what your character can do.
It's very unlikely that the elf lives in a cave, and it's very, VERY unlikely that a vampire and a werewolf walk around arm in arm.
Especially during the day...
So... These are all things that you have to consider while developing your game.
What are the roles you expect players to play in the stories created using it?
Are the characters ordinary people in that world? Are they special, or are they... Worse then most, for some reason?
Are they pariahs, or outcasts, or weaker? Why?
This helps the... It supports the rules, actually. Not simply help them, but it supports the rules.
With this vision you can develop the rules in a way that is... Clearer, more directed, more efficient.
There are certainly different ways of seeing this, this is MY way of doing it, and I'd like to know how you guys see it,
those of you who have experience in developing a game or even stories slightly different from a game's usual standard.
For instance... If you had to develop a story, and optional rules, and all that, for a Stalker scenario,
or of Lovecraftian Horror, using MYFAROG, for instance.
Or if you developed a story and a scenario that was different using Dungeons & Dragons.
Or... Whatever.
Please comment, share your experiences.
Thank you for your patience, and I'll see you soon.
