This is hard work and probably a bad idea How do I include these different RPGs into 5e, and how do I do it in a way that is simplest for the players and myself? have only small portions of the other games be included like just the and that's it.

Let them use the other RPG character classes like subclasses and tone down their abilities a tad.Have them continue to use the d20 system no matter the game.Creating a homebrew gaming system so they can easily go from RPG to RPG.Making only the NPCs use different gaming systems.I have many ways to implement these games into 5e like This is also an issue for Honey Heist where it'll be hard to skills if someone gets the Hacker role and the closest thing to technology in their world is some oil lanterns and a bunch of healing potions. But in D&D 5e, class revolves around the way your character fights and what do you add to help the party not die in the encounter. Weapons and armor and all of that would be confusing to transition to some games like Call of Cthulhu where fighting back isn't that much of an option, well it is but it'd be a TPK.

The list of RPGs that I know have varying levels of complexity, and I'm afraid that going from Honey Heist to Twilight 2000 is going to give a player whiplash.Ĭalculating what your rolls are can be extremely confusing if you don't have a good grasp of the game and these fusions of RPG systems are going to be the same length of a one-shot which is not enough time to fully grasp the rules. I really like the idea and I want it to work but I have a lot of flaws and complications in my plan:Īlmost every one of these RPGs has a different game system and has different game mechanics. These are the RPGs that I either have a solid understanding of or an okay understanding of: One of the ways I want to do this is for reality to shatter/merge with other realities to make it so different RPGs have melded with their world. In the campaign I'm creating, There is going to be magical artifacts that distort reality, time, and space. I'm planning on making a D&D 5e campaign for my friends so they can experience what an okay DM is like rather than a bias and railroading DM which is so far their only experience of Dungeons and Dragons.
