Ransom Watts, a new CAIN character of mine. The top half of his face is incomprehensible to the human eye because Absentia :)

He looks absolutely terrifying (and he is) but he is also babygirl. He listens to upbeat 60s music while eradicating horrors

Finals kicking my ass so I've been obsessively drawing my CAIN (ttrpg) ocs over and over to cope

Patricia and Emi Gale I hope you guys know you're saving my life rn

Reading Tom Bloom's latest tabletop RPG and playing "spot the thinly disguised expy of Allison from Kill Six Billion Demons".

Foaming at the mouth cause I want to run a game of CAIN and also play Magnagothica: Maleghast but to do the first I need time, players who are free, and money, and to do the second I need time and more money arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ! guess its going on the ever increasing list of "things to buy/do"

It's been brought to my attention that some CAIN fans are unaware that its conflict resolution mechanics first appeared in an earlier game by the same author called Goblin With a Fat Ass, so let's fix that now.

just read Cain

WOO BABY WHAT AN RPG

CAIN by Tom "Abaddon" Bloom, artist and writer behind Kill Six Billion Demons is an absolutely outstanding rpg with absolutely BALLER design and art. this shit goes hard. going for the low low price of some amount of money, but incredibly pogger

anyways, the rolling system it uses absolutely enraptured me. it's this real simple d6-pool-choose-highest thing where 4+ is a success and you only need 1 success but you can cash in more of them in certain situations and where hard rolls only succeed on 6+

anyways, the whole thing got me back into this universe i made when i was in fourth grade, DARK RAIN. it's sort of this eldritch-noir-occult thing where everyone lives in a city where it's perpetually night and raining and there are strange and lurking monsters walkin' around everywhere and the three types of light (Ultraviolet, Neon, and Normal) would affect the world around it somewhat

i tried making a ttrpg for it using powered by the apocalypse, but it just turned out... well, it didn't turn out. Felt like i was using the wrong tools for the wrong job.

anyways, i might give it another try now that i've read cain. now the problem i've got to contend with is just different character archetypes. I've got three so far, which are the Investigator (know), the Silvertongue (speak), and the Occultist (be freaky). CAIN's got 12 of them, based on different cool powers (turning people into charcoal, navigating your own mind palace, necrotelepathy, etc.). The powers that each of these blasphemies (they're called that, which, again. Baller.) are somewhat limited in their scope by psyche bursts, which is basically just currency. of course, instead of using a psyche burst, you can instead gain sin, but if you get too much of that, it's a possible game over. so do i put in more archetypes? do i just put a bunch of different powers in for each archetype? and then how do i limit those powers? should i even need to limit powers?

oh and we haven't even gotten into inventory and items yet. maybe in a part 2.

"Psych Eval."

From the 11th to the 13th, Tom Bloom (creator of hit webcomic Kill Six Billion Demons and mecha battle ttrpg Lancer) has announced that all CHASM properties will be free, to commemorate the immense stupidity of. everything. This includes skirmishing necromantic war ttrpg Magnagothica: Maleghast, psychic trauma supersoldier ttrpg CAIN, and the supplemental content for both games.

However, to compensate for this abusive and unfair trade deficit, Tom Bloom has increased the price of hit game Goblin With a Fat Ass to $80 USD. This is guaranteed to result in tremendous profits and will increase game success bigly.

Have fun with it!
