https://triumvene.com/ Project Description: D&D with less fighting and more trolley problems. I'm building a non-combat focused TTRPG. Happy to give any HN readers a free account to play around with. There's no VTT element and there's no plan to build one; instead it's focused on group storytelling and logging the story, rather than combat and world management.

Took me way to long to figure out what ttrpg is. Just feedback:)

There's an element of, if you don't know the acronym, then at this point you're not the market. Longer term, I'll want it to be generalist, but in the same way as as a dev I'll use terminology to help people select into "this is relevant to me or not", TTRPG serves a similar purpose here.

You're not wrong though. For anyone wondering, table-top role playing game.

Yes could be.

But you are not worried that this can also act as an entry barrier/gatekeeping thing?

Nope. It's a market targeting thing. I don't have the resource to deal with people who haven't played before, as well as people who have. For beta testers, if someone hasn't played a TTRPG before, they're not suitable. They wouldn't have anything to compare to.

Wow, I love the concept but why is this different from creating a group on Strava and check members in it?

So it's more like a one-time thing, when somebody wins the challenge, the challenge is done. Also if people likes it I plan to make it multi platform, such that you can challenge others even if you don't have your running data on the same platform (strava,garmin etc.)

Yeah that would be interesting feature. An aggregator site, where you can check all your friends runnings. At presents I'm using Strava but some of my friends on Addidas Running and I can't check their progression.
