this weekend I learned about a drinking game called Splitting the G. you get a full pint of guinness in a guinness glass. you pick up that beer and take a big chug. you put the glass back down and look at the level of the beer. if it's between the top and bottom of the G in Guinness you have split the G and you win (or maybe don't lose?)

anyway I'm leaving this here for ttrpg design tumblr to make a resolution mechanic out of. I'm thinking something along the lines of

split the G - succeed

don't drink enough (G still in the black) - fall short

drink too much (G fully in the clear) - overextend yourself and expose yourself to danger (but maybe with some benefit or opportunity for really going for it?)

#ttrpg #ttrpg design #ttrpg mechanics #resolution mechanics #there's escalation built in because you're drinking so each check is less likely to succeed #but maybe you get muscle memory to counteract that #also you could of course do this with non alcoholic drinks too #substituting something carbonated brings its own challenges #is that how you do different difficulties?
