Let's talk about the action economy in The Snarl, the weird fantasy RPG we are currently working on! 🧵↓

Most moves use a single action, more complex ones cost 2 actions, and something that consumes your entire turn takes 3.

If you’ve played Pathfinder 2 you are familiar with this kind of economy. Ours is similar, and it’s nothing new or groundbreaking on its own, but it does include some twists to fit with our other mechanics.

We chose it over systems that broke down your actions into different types (like D&D’s action/movement/bonus actions, or Draw Steel’s main action/move/maneuver) because we preferred its more open-ended aspects.
