# Three Meet

**Three Meet** is a low-fantasy hack of the fifth edition of the world's most popular table-top roleplaying game (5E). It offers the following new features:

## Consolidated Attributes

**Three Meet** consolidates confusing pair of ability scores (Strength/Constitution and Intelligence/Wisdom and Dexterity) for simplicity: **Cunning** (for rogues), **Strength** (for fighters) and **Wisdom** (for wizards and clerics), as well as a “wild card” attribute, Luck.
# Three Meet

A low-fantasy, grimdark 5E hack for bad times.

To play pick a GM, [create your character](pages/characters/creating.md), choose a [background](pages/backgrounds/index.md) and [class](pages/classes/index.md), read the [basic](pages/rules/rolling.md) and [combat rules](pages/combat/order.md), and you're ready to play.

# Contributing

The rules here are designed to be open and anyone is free to make their own hacks. You can get involved, propose changes or copy the rules on [Github](https://github.com/grislyeye/three-meet). See the [license](license.md) for more information.

This project has the following requirements:

* [Node.js/NPM](https://docs.npmjs.com/downloading-and-installing-node-js-and-npm)

## Run

Execute:

```sh
$ npm install
$ npm start
```

## Deploy

Execute:

```sh
$ npm run deploy
```

## Future Work

My main design goal with **Three Meet** is to keep things focussed and simple, while not losing the solid 5E core rules.

There are plans to expand **Three Meet**, but I hope these will be limited so as not overly complicate the system. If you'd like to see the progress or find what we need help with see the [task board](https://github.com/grislyeye/three-meet/projects/1).

# Design Notes

The rules have been been adapted from 5E for low/grimdark fantasy. Simplified and nerfed as follows:

### Meaningful Terms

Traditional roleplaying games come with a lot of baggage. We have obscure terminology like HP, saving throws and AC. Three Meet challenges these conventions to make the game more accessible. For example, hit points are now [Health](pages/combat/health.md). Saving throws are known as [saves](pages/rules/rolling.md?id=saves).

### Simplified Attributes

I've always found the standard ability scores (Strength, Constitution, Dexterity, Intelligence, Wisdom and Intelligence) confusing and ambiguous.

In Three Meet ability scores have been merged into three [attributes](pages/characters/attributes.md): [Might](pages/characters/attributes.md?id=might), [Cunning](pages/characters/attributes.md?id=cunning) and [Wisdom](pages/characters/attributes.md?id=wisdom).

### Low-Powered Classes

Classes aren't as powerful. You can only advance to 10th level and with class features more spread out. There are only short rest features, and only one kind of [rest](pages/rules/rests.md).

### No Races

Avoiding issues with traditional races, Three Meet does away with them. Instead [backgrounds](pages/backgrounds/index.md) have been expanded to include utility features that represent cultural or environmental traits. This also means classes can focus on their core concepts.
