SPID4 – EXODUS Box
EXODUS as a tabletop game, instead of fighting with LARP weapons, combat is decided with dice rolls.
As with EXODUS, players are divided between adventurers (who pick their starting class) and dungeon dwellers (who impersonate the dungeon monsters), and the program generates a random layout for them to explore. The party moves from room to room based on the available exits, and by moving they may trigger traps affecting their status.
When the program dictates combat happens and a monster party is formed, the “combat grid” is placed and players place their tokens in either the adventurers or the dungeon dwellers area. Then the starting player is randomly selected (from within all the players, dungeon dwellers included) and player take turns to act. Each player may perform any of the following actions:
- Move 1 square in any direction
- Attack another player using either melee or a special ability
Some monsters may move more than once.
Cast a spell or use a special ability (consuming Magic Points or Special Points)
I have tested it with some friends and it works fine! It may not be as fun as running around hitting your friends with a foam sword, but OTOH it gives allows for more tactical depth.
SPID5 – EXODUS Online
Each player has his own app on his phone, one of them starts a game and the others connect. As they explore the dungeon, the dungeon staff is given their monster role and the battles are tactical turn based.
SPID6 – Britannia GPS game
Each city a small representation of Britannia (a shard). Landmarks on the city are transformed into towns of virtue, shrines and dungeons.
The players must find the runes by going to each town and asking for them, then searching other places in the worlds based on the clues they got.
Parties of travelers could be formed to explore together and survive the random encounters. Characters would level up in a traditional way. Then the Avatar should go and meditate to the shrines.
Dungeons would require doing some fights better done in a party.
The ultimate goal is to get the stones of virtue and conquer the abyss to become the avatar.
