I've never really sat down and explained what exactly it is that I'm designing. This post rectifies that.

A History

The birth of "2d10 System"

2d10 System was first born some time in late 2016 (my first semester of college) when I was a player in a 5e campaign that was really pushing D&D to the breaking point of its systems. At the core of everything was sort of D&D 5e's two fatal flaws:

1. Social mechanics are basically nonexistent;
2. Dungeon crawls, raids, resource management, etc are built on extremely weak foundations.

Both myself and the GM of that game (who is fairly private about his identity on the internet) were really into Burning Wheel at the time, and so the initial question was just

Well what if we try to make Duel Of Wits work in D&D?

For those not in the know, Duel Of Wits is Burning Wheel's system for hashing out debates between characters. It's pretty in-depth, and calls on a lot of skill variety/mechanics that just aren't reasonably replicable in D&D. It became clear to us pretty quickly that whatever it was, this needed to be more than just a hack of D&D.

Hi everyone, your friendly neighborhood AUTHOR here. I want to thank you all for sticking with me through some difficult times. I really love making these silly little games and I appreciate having somebody to play them with. Your votes, likes, and rebugs mean the world to me. I especially want to thank the user @FiendishAuburn, who rebugged just about every post. Thank you so, so much.

I did have three endings to this game planned out, by the way, depending on what you picked up from the first and second floors. None of them were the umbrella ending, but it was so cool that I just had to go with it.

Over the next few weeks I am going to share some of the content I had planned for other contingencies, and then this account is going to go dark for a while. I have some family obligations that can't wait and I'm not going to be able to dedicate as much time to the next game that would make me happy with what I come up with.

That title is real, though. And I will be back. I would guess sometime in the middle of summer.

Until then, I am honored to be your AUTHOR.
