Is making a Grove Game hard?
Not at all! In the document, we provide copy and paste wording for you to drop all the parts into place, and flesh out and tweak however you choose - write detailed settings, or a rolling table, or even simple prompts for players to build out details themselves. If there’s a mechanic you don’t want to use, you can simply ignore it.
Features
- GM-Lite - A facilitator helps organize the table and play by default and uses a special facilitator playbook for their character, but encourages players to take up the reigns from narrating NPCs, to creating and running adventures.
- Three phases of play - Adventure, Macro, Update
- Collaborative episodic adventures
- Built in worldbuilding
- Two level map drawing (Overview & Detail)
- Tokens!
- A macro phase zooms out for players to influence the larger community directly.
- Facilities - places that provide unique moves and bonuses.
- Idea mechanic - reward players by welcoming new members to a community by presenting them with new Ideas used to solve big problems.
