Progress goes steadily, but as I was pushing through, my mind wandered to Whiskey four’s system. It doesn’t have stats, merely checks for if you have a proper item and allowing you to use them with varying successes. Where the fail option is less a stat thing and more so you choosing a poor decision resulting in an injury or a bad outcome later on.
I have yet to implement the trait system. Mostly waiting till I finish out the entire thing before going back and adding any failure results or traits. But I do wonder what you all think of this? Would you rather have no traits and merely have your own judgement to go by in regards to whether or not an option is a good idea, and thus whether it goes well for your character?
To leave you off. I shall provide you a small excerpt of what I have been working on so far.
Excerpt
She stares at you for a few moments. Eventually grabbing the cup and going over to the sink. Hovering the cup under it for a few seconds before placing the decidedly empty cup in front of you.
You stare at the cup, then back to her. And she returns the stare.
What, are you supposed to act like you’re drinking water or something? You look around and you see other patrons with clearly filled drinks. So that can’t be it.
“Where’s the water?” You eventually break the silence.
“Got shot, so we don’t got anymore water here.” She drops the accent for a few seconds before quickly returning it as she scoffs. “Wouldnae change the fact yer drinkin’ water at a bloody bar.”
“Ah…” That must be Riley’s doing… And so you mime drinking the water from the cup.
Yummers. Can’t live without it.
Hope you have a wonderful rest of your December!

That’s a pretty good idea!!
No traits-stats based system is going to give the readers/players an immersive experience and won’t force them to play along only a certain path.
So it’s a very good idea
