Card driven games with dolls
Card driven games with dolls
Has anyone taken this concept further though?
I'm thinking of the card or dice driven mechanisms some wargames employ to allow solo play. Could they be adopted?
Secret Agent Doll swings through the window of the enemy missile laboratory but she rolls a five on the die and the table says her skirt catches on the glass and is ripped off.
Dolls A and B are engaged in unarmed combat. We know that they are going to rip each other's clothes off, but exactly how does that pan out?
There's an idea there but I can't quite make it out.

I could try her on one of those 'Fighting Fantasy' books and throw die to see which page she turns to and if she survives or not.
I have a set of dominoes... I could play opposite her and throw dice to see what random choices she decides to make.
I could set up a chess set and play opposite her! Although it's too complicated to try a dice system for her choices.
There must be games (say even on PCs or consoles) that allow one to set up and simulate her making choices opposite you.
I shall think on it. I kinda like the book one at the moment though...
Re: Card driven games with dolls
I'll let you in on a small secret... My doll is based off a character I created a long time ago to run through one of these Fighting Fantasy books as part of a comic book.... But then I branched into doing my own stuff.

Mine have to enact fantasies, some of which go back to childhood; but I wonder if giving them more agency would create more excitement.

Blackjack! Does she stand on her cards, or take a hit and risk going over 21? Roll the dice to determine her choice.
Maybe someone could setup a game here in the forum... with someone being the moderator, dealer...
We could play strip poker against each other!

The other question is whether the game should include the possibility of failure (to score) and whether that would enhance the excitement.
(I already have a simple, random system for determining what a doll will wear on a particular occasion, and that in itself is entertaining.)

You're in the mood...Roll 1 D20, my lad...
5-19 - She's also in the mood.
20 - She wants it AALLLL!
2-4 - Not tonight, dear.
1- Not for the entire week! lol!
This could get really complex with + and - factors you may wish to add. Just brought her a new dress? +5. Been neglecting her lately? -5.
Then again maybe you're the Warrior-King of your home which adds a special bonus of plus 20 once a week!

Re: Card driven games with dolls
Interesting. However, I was a GM/DM for years in my mispent youth. Learned to make up stuff on the fly when the party decided to go off on a tangent, and the guys often went off on a tangent on pretty much every subject you can think of ( bedding the ladies being one of them!). I even ended up doing mini flowcharts for myself when doing solo games! She's not telling me anything new there, though it's probably new to some. I just never thought of applying this to adult dolls until this topic!Alistair wrote: ↑Mon Mar 13, 2023 9:02 pm
