Trollmila rated Magic of Inventorying

Trollmila rated a story game 3 years ago
A downloadable story game.

This game was so much fun to play, but before talking about the gameplay I want to comment on the actual text. The game is pretty much fully taught through dialogue. I was unsure how much I'd like it, but once I started reading it was perfect. It answered questions through the characters asking them and felt extremely fluid. It gave great examples and made it really easy to visualize playing. Towards the end of the book, the rules are explained in a more traditional way that was excellent to have pulled up while I was playing to remind myself. I didn't feel like I had to pause play to catch myself up on the rules.  

The play itself is super fun. There was a lot of feeding off of other people and an amazing building up of ideas between the four of us who played. It was hard for me, someone who struggles to clear their inventory, but ultimately I was able to part with some things. Our whole party survived which was shocking. I highly recommend playing this game with friends. The GM-less element was really easy for this game, I've played other games where you do have someone basically acting as a GM but this game I could easily play with people new to TTRPGs. Oh, and the explanation of what the game fundamentally is was an amazing addition for people entering the world.

EDIT: adding in THE VIRTUAL TOOLS ARE AMAZING AND MAKE IT SUPER EASY TO PLAY OVER DISTANCE.
