How to Play

Digimon Journies plays similarly to DnD and Pathfinder systems, so if you have experience in those games, you should be more or less ready to play once all players have their characters made.

In a very general description, how the game works is that one person takes on the role of Dungeon Master (or DM), the player who controls the game and guides the other players through a story, and their interactions with the game world and the characters within it, which can include pleasant conversations, combat to the death, and everything in between. Generally, the DM will describe the environment the players are in, presenting the basic scope of the area around them. The players then describe what they would like to do. The DM parses these intended actions, often relying on the results of a die roll, and describes the results that ensue.

How the players interact in these situations is determined by their ability scores, measuring their characters' capabilities. The ability scores are:


 * Strength, measuring physical power
 * Dexterity, measuring agility
 * Constitution, measuring endurance
 * Intelligence, measuring reasoning and memory
 * Wisdom, measuring perception and insight
 * Charisma, measuring force of personality
