Again,if you read the rules snd especially the principles of play, "degrees of success" is not the design intent. That you decide to simplify it to that says nothing about the actual game.

Showing tonight at 930 EST. Tomorrow is going to be a tough wake up but it's a sacrifice I am willing to make.

The Mothership version of the Shadowdark dungeon generator? (which is my favorite dungeon generation system of all time)

I need to get a physical copy of the Mothership pre-1E release.

Sure. I read the initial post that started this thread as a "list of campaigns I would run with DH." It may be that I misread it. I am absolutely on board with running genre divergent sessions/adventures as a change of pace -- regardless of the system. I was reacting to the idea of running a...

Right. Those aren't a linear set of degrees. They are a 2 axis matrix.

I get that, but DH is a little new for people to decide they must use it for EVERYTHING, isn't it?

No, it isn't. Read the book.

I legitimately do not really understand what it means for D&D to have changed to a "franchise model." Can someone EILI5?

What's interesting is a lot of these responses seem to presuppose players that aren't familiar with the game. Which is not something I stipulated.

Again, the point isn't that you can't do these thing in DH. The question is why bother when you can use a system designed for them?

You ignored everything a wrote past the quoted part.

We have run into this discussion regarding horror before (usually in context of D&D) and I think it comes down to what people mean when they say "horror." Is Buffy horror? If you feel the answer is yes, then it is no surprise that you think DH can do horror out of the box. But if you don't, then...

But DH does NOT give you varying degrees of success. Success is binary, but the narrative tone of the outcome of the action is variable (also binary). It's actually an important distinction because otherwise GMs would too often go against the explicit principal of not undermining PC success with...

That isn't particularly like DH at all, except you roll a pair of dice instead of a single d20.
