Two of these stats are in my TTRPG (gumption and moxie).

It also features things like pep, knacks, savvy, and nerve.

[–] grrgyle@slrpnk.net 2 points 1 hour ago

Uh, link??!? Or is it only on paper?

[–] kyonshi@piefed.social 4 points 3 hours ago

I think chutzpe and moxie used to be stats in Paranoia

[–] kryptonianCodeMonkey@lemmy.world 5 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Made me think about Dimension 20's Mentopolis. All of these would be characters instead of stats though.

[–] pinball_wizard@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago)

Nice. If they ever do another season of Mentopolis, I hope they get Hank Green to play "The Fix"s younger brother "Childlike Wonder".

Just rework gumshoe

[–] mogranja@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago

There could be a debuff called "wishy washy", it increases your childlike wonder, but lowers your gumption.

I know it's a joke, but: a really small sail.

[–] PoopingCough@lemmy.world 31 points 1 day ago (2 children)

This reminds me of West of Loathing

[–] Godric@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The X of Loathing series is fantastic. Another stat that comes to mind is Hornswogglin'

[–] PoopingCough@lemmy.world 4 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

Oh shit i didn't know it was a whole series

[–] Godric@lemmy.world 4 points 4 hours ago

Yeah, it started with Kingdom of Loathing, which is a free to play browser game, and more recently Shadows over Loathing, which has this cool 1920s Lovecraftian setting. All keep that great humor :D

[–] OmnislashIsACloudApp@lemmy.world 1 points 23 hours ago

love this series so much

[–] Dagwood222@lemm.ee 41 points 1 day ago

Jib.

The jib sail is the triangular one at the prow of a ship. Different countries used different designs, so liking the cut of a jib meant you recognized it.

Between Kingdom of Loathing and West of Loathing, they've got half of these covered.

[–] Akagigahara@lemmy.world 20 points 1 day ago

I feel like Shadow over Loathing might tap into the rest, lol

[–] Marighost@lemm.ee 11 points 1 day ago

Hmm... Now I need a Loathing TTRPG.

[–] glimse@lemmy.world 35 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Heres my character for this campaign

[–] _stranger_@lemmy.world 20 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Looks like you minmaxed for Gib Cut. I like that.

[–] AlbertSpangler@lemmings.world 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Ah, the "Provincial dad" class.

[–] pinball_wizard@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 hours ago

"Provincial dad" class features include:

  • Bulk discount store membership.
  • May name a "preferred grill out spot". Gains advantage on movement rolls anytime their turn would end at their "preferred grill out spot". Players who use this ability successfully must then move to their preferred grill out spot, or make a Willl save DC 14 vs 1d4 psychic damage.
  • Elemental Resistance 5 (all elements) when operating any lawn or garden care implement.
  • Resistant to poison (advantage on save rolls) in any food or drink that they believe to be "hand-crafted" or "locally sourced"

How are you going in with 0 gusto, are you bonkers??

[–] Anomalocaris@lemm.ee 3 points 23 hours ago

chutzpah wouldn't work, the less you have the more powerful you get

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 27 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Pure je ne sais quoi build.

I always have that certain something needed for the job.

[–] MBech@feddit.dk 13 points 1 day ago

That's how my bard build feels in BG3. Always know the right thing to say, to make a bad guy kill himself.

I like the cut of your gif

This was bugging me, thank you.

[–] RegalPotoo@lemmy.world 18 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Moxy and chutzpah are stats in Paranoia

[–] Kickforce@lemmy.wtf 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The computer is your friend!

[–] Zoomboingding@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Have a treason star

Also worth mentioning one of the primary stats is Violence

There’s a Cuck Tingle RPG where you can play a sentient DVD box set. IIRC your stats are not far from this

Toon had chutzpah as a stat

[–] TipRing@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago

Play Over the Edge and those can actually be your stats.

[–] nesc@lemmy.cafe 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

That's like half of PBtA games, no?

[–] roflo1@ttrpg.network 1 points 1 day ago

Perhaps not with those exact names, but there’s a fix:
