overview for maquise

I am looking for ways to improve my exploration gameplay in a Theater of the Mind type game where there is no map and no need for detailed environmental descriptions, if that makes sense; I don't want to have to keep track of corridors and turns, and that sort of thing.

Ideally I would like a system or ruleset that allows me to randomly generate interesting exploration gameplay without relying on having to map out everything. Preferably system agnostic so I can use it in various games.

Here's an example of the sort of thing I'm looking for, but would like to see alternatives that are a bit more in depth, or have more options:

Is this the stuff that causes the “impending doom” sensation? That stuff’s weird.

TIL that in 1563, Johann Weyer argued against Witch hunts and instead that the accused should be treated as having a mental illness. in c/til@lemmy.world

I remember this guy. I cut off his friend’s head and stuck it through a mystic portal.

(EDIT: Referencing the game Amnesia: The Dark Descent)

TIL there are three types of tears: basal, reflex, and psychic. Psychic tears, produced when we're sad, contain leucine enkephalin, a natural painkiller that helps us feel better. in c/til@lemmy.world

Psychic Tears - That’s a good band name.

The DM tools were where it really shined; I’d love a modern game with that kind of support.

I haven’t seen much of anything about this game; what’s with the radio silence?

Started GMing a Cyberpunk Red campaign, went to the pool, cleaned my bathtub.

Pathfinder.social instance trouble (ttrpg.network)

I'm not sure if this is the proper place to ask this, but I don't know where else to go. I'm having trouble reaching the pathfinder.social instance; I can't seem to post, or subscribe to their communities. Is anyone else having issues?

Considering Starting Linux (ttrpg.network)

I have been using Windows my entire life, but since I got my Steam Deck I’ve been considering trying to get into Linux.

I obviously don’t have much of an idea where to begin, other than that I’m currently also trying to learn Javascript. I'd like a basic workstation I can code on and mess with, that doesn't run more than a couple hundred. Could use some recommendations for hardware plus where to begin.
