ngp @ngp.computer · 26/09/2026As someone who vastly prefers simpler systems, I actually like the Storypath (Chronicles of Darkness) system's character attributes and skills. Mechanically it's still very simple (not that the rest of the system is) but does a good job at making each character feel unique 100
