TRINAMYK GAMEPLAY

Character modularity allows players to play a simple OSR-style character or build deeper and more complex characters with various abilities and skills, where all can sit and play together.  Additionally, some classes allow custom building of spells, creatures to change shape into, or to create a companion pet or humanoid.  Some classes have random tables to roll on for those that like to take chances or gamble on random occurrences.

Players have the option to create characters that simplify information to look at or can choose a more complex build developing character builds that are niche or customized accentuating uniqueness.  Simple character builds facilitate those wanting to play with less to no experience with roleplaying or less time investment.  With this natural approach they develop their understanding with their understanding able to stay simple or expand into character aspects they want to develop.  The intuitive rule system seamless blends these styles of play.

INTUITIVE CHARACTER FLOW

On the main page you can explore our character concept builder APP.  Choosing 1 of 7 Base Classes and 2 of 60 Secondary classes if very intuitive and flows easily.  After choosing, you then get to upgrade stats, choose abilities, and add skills that make your character more unique and special.

FIRST CHOOSE THE BASE CLASS: This class establishes the character's starting framework for Hit Points, Armor & Weapons, spells, Fervor or Mysteria Power, and Boost choices. Base classes: Animist (Nature Spells), Arcanist (Wizard Spells), Crafty (movement & weapons), Enigmatic (Mental & Mysterious Powers), Fierce (Adrenaline), Reverent (Cleric Spells), or Tough (Heavy Armor & more HP).

CHOOSE 2 SECONDARY CLASSES: These stylized and supporting mechanics deepen the build of the base class or expand on it introducing more options. Groups: OSR, Casters (Spells), Powers (Mysterious & Adrenaline), Utility (non-resource abilities), or Hybrids (combination of the others)

OSR Class vs Stylized Classes: To play a simple OSR, single function character, a player chooses the "Dedicated" class that grants extra points to stat build their character, while other players choose from stylized secondary class options.

Rank skills are narrative based with a backup numerical basis to expedite gameplay that have 5 ranks.  Favored skills founded on the 7 character traits is an intuitive system that allows players to opt for none relying on traits or enhance their character using broad or niche skills.   For example, here is a commonly used one combined with a specially created skill that can be done in 3 ways: general, general specialized, or specialized, as seen below.

Acrobatics +5, Acrobatics +3/Balance +10, or Balance +15.

Full Character Builds Feature:  7 Traits supporting each Base Class: Strength, Coordination, Fortitude, Will, Intellect, Beliefs, and Faith.  Separate Allure of Looks, Voice, and Presence facilitate opportunities for differing players to engage in rewarding social interactions. Perception is Passive, Seeing and Hearing, plus Secondary Senses of Taste, Touch, and Smell. The To Hit values are Hurl, Mana, Melee, and Projectile. Hit points serve as a character's life value.

Even playing as a group, players still pursue personal goals and objectives, plus character development that leads to dramatic and powerful options to assert power and thwart Arkenmai(BBEGs): building castles and societies, troops for armies, flagships, and ships for fleets, sites, and items of power, affiliates and allies, gangs and bands, and arch spells or academies.  Especially useful when players miss a session or drop from a campaign, giving exciting and progressive gameplay options.

By using the term Adventure for the system the tone is set as a mutual challenge between Adventure Master and players to enrich gameplay for a more rewarding experience.  Built on "Tools over Rules", each table of gamers can easily choose to simplify or deepen gameplay in the way they want, plus play narratively, technically, or transitioning between the two play styles.

Each character's class establishes walk, run, climb, jump, and swim, with some giving a player a choice to apply some points. After applying any progression point improvement, players have a final value for each.

The most a character can move in a turn is 2 walks, and by declaring 'running' an additional value. Sprint and Dash granted by certain classes allow special movement in the 'quick' phase of combat, whereas most move in the 'main' phase, unless running.

Aside from variations now created in technical combats used by most systems, this creates opportunities for playing out running across fields and bridges and offering new challenges and hurdles where time and character position can have greater importance.

Players have the following actions: Main, Move, Simple, Reaction, and Casual. Actions may be a character built mechanism or narrative role-play creation. Main actions are used in the Main Phase. Move action may be running, walking, stealth, climbing, swimming, jumping, and under special circumstances flying or burrowing. Simple actions are less involved and the rough equivalent of 2 Casual actions. 

Happening only outside a character's turn, a Casual action would be opening or shutting a door, pushing down a bar to a door to reinforce it, getting out a potion, etc. My own personal interpretation of a Casual allows a character to reach down and grab  a sword tossing it to another character.  That character must use a Casual action to try and grab it.  Reactions are utilized when the appropriate condition arises.  A player may do one Reaction or a Casual action within a round.

Armor features a modular design that uses material components and amount of coverage (piece, half, full) for body armor that matches role-play style and mechanics. Armor mechanics limit stealthing to certain movement actions: running, 2 walks, 1 walk, or 5' based on build. Optional rules easily integrate armor durability and damage mitigation.

Weapon Damage is based on character proficiency for standard weapons progressing through 8 categories, and available to certain classes are 5 Brutal categories and 4 Exotic categories, with the Tinkerer class having 3 (invented/modified) weapon categories.

An initiative combat round with Quick and Main Phases gives 'fast' or 'telepathic' players a mechanical process to play out their concept mechanically. It also can create an element of drama for other players to affect a battle in a small way with a small action. This also helps to keep players engaged. To Hit from character development include Melee, Hurl, Projectile, and Spells.
