  • I was out collecting wood and walking a bit and I was thinking about if anyone’s tried to gameify exercise/walking/etc. via a table-top RPG-like system instead of like an app. Closest I can think of are the Digimon toys where you’re supposed to walk and this randomly triggers over time battle encounters and stuff. And also the 3DS with its playcoin system (and I guess the Pokewalker, etc. for Pokemon).

    But a fantasy RPG where you use a pedometer to count steps and then you cash those steps in the game as like the main gold-approximating currency/resource could be cool. You’d have a similar element to the Digimon toys pretending you went on a journey and then you use ttrpg mechanics to gameify it and expand the journey a little more. Would be a neat idea if it hasn’t been invented yet.
