CATS LITE by Kazumi Chin. Nothing Like Your Dad's Generic TTRPG System. CATS LITE is a generic TTRPG adventure system that asks players to hybridize, bastardize, and queer received genres and archetypes of Western cultural imagination.
Kazumi Chin wrote a short twitter thread about "disidentification, and what it means to both take on an disown an archetype," in relation to CATS LITE.
@GcL I have a distinct memory of using it in a corridor in I think Irenicus's dungeon, where it bounced real weird off the level geometry and ended up hitting Jaheira about a dozen times
My only full playthrough was a druid, so I attempted her personal relationship 'questline', which was glitched and you needed to hack the console to make work

@kviiri Speculation: modern D&D is bad at running-away mechanics for the same reason it's bad at handling lingering combat injuries: it's outside genre convention. Lightweight Silver-Age-comics heroic fantasy doesn't have running away.
@MarkWells Interesting theory, though I'm not sure if I buy it as a primary cause
One might also suggest wargames as a partial reason, similarly: in a trad wargame of this scale, there's only small-scale tactical retreats: you can't concede the battlefield except by surrender of the game.
I am fairly newish to D&D. Our group plays every week and I have been a GM before. My character is fairly chill, chaotic neutral and will often get distracted for a few moments looking at something or talking to someone, as it fits into her character. She will often be the one to push the button ...
