Roleplay approaches

Intention then Action

  1. Think about how the character would respond. What would they try to do?
  2. State it to the GM what you'd like to try to accomplish and why
  3. GM and player decide on an appropriate skill/action to use mechanically, as well as the circumstances of the DC check.
  4. see Infodump:Types_of_roleplay#Orphaned_Skill_Checks for some additional context

Roll then Roleplay

  1. Nothing sucks more than a great roleplay sequence, then to roll like crap and your attempt fails.
  2. I want to adopt a roll then roleplay baseline, and where characters "fail forward" when rolls come up shitty.
  3. Following #3 above: once the DC and appropriate skill is sorted out, the result will determine our endpoint.
  4. Next, comes the fun part of roleplaying how you get from point A to point B in your failed attempt.
