Updates With Big News

Bite-Sized! is a work-in-progress D6-based TTRPG that lets you play as bug people.

Good news everyone! I have almost fully finished character creations! All that is left to finish is the background and character advancement sections, which should be simple enough.

I have also decided to add no-cost spells that are for exploration. Each spell helps fix a niche issue that can occur. Along with this I have added some additional features to the warrior archetype to help them feel like they have things to offer while traveling!

Along with that I had another piece of art commissioned!

This character is based on a pearly wood moth and was done by the same amazing artist who has done all the official art so far!

I have one final announcement to make. I have finally gotten around to making an official discord for Bite-Sized! If you would like to join to see the same updates you would see here on Discord and the newsletter I make come on over!

Bite-Sized! Updated

A Bug-Based TTRPG

Bite-Sized! is a D6 tabletop role-playing game where you play as bugs on an alternate version of Earth. In this universe, humans never existed and bugs are the most intelligent creatures. Explore a world filled with giant creatures, towering flora, magic, and deadly beasts.

This TTRPG is made to be picked up by beginners or veterans of the TTRPG scene. Bite-Sized! has 3 archetypes to choose from: Warrior, Spellblade, and Sorcerer. Warriors' expertise is in weapons and maneuvering during combat. Sorcerers' expertise is in magic. Whether that be for utility or combat potential. Spellblade combines sorcerers' and warriors' perks for a jack-of-all-trades type of play. This game heavily focuses on exploration being a part of the journey and being able to customize your character quite a bit.

I have slightly scoped back the game to make it more manageable for myself so there will only be 6 lineages instead of the original 10 that were planned.

Child of Antipiphyra: This lineage is based on flies, scorpionflies, and fleas. With amazing reaction time and movement, you can dodge and weave through any obstacle.

Child of Arnaea: This lineage is based on arachnids. With good utility like the ability to have extra limbs, you can fill many roles in the party.

Child of Hinotira: This lineage is based on bees, ants, and wasps. Pheromones and abilities that are great for cooperation will ensure this lineage is a bonus to any party.

Child of Kolotira: This lineage is based on beetles. With the strongest defense of any lineage and great strength, this lineage is fit for the most strenuous of tasks.

Child of Ledotira: This lineage is based on butterflies and moths. Great stealth skills and good flight make this perfect for players who want to be flashy and stealthy.

Child of Ortotira: This lineage is based on crickets and grasshoppers. This lineage is great for those who wish to be able to fill any role.

All these lineages have different abilities to choose from based on real animals! Some have an exaggerated effect but the base for everything is found in nature.

This game is still a work in progress. I will be trying my best to post an update at least once per week. Additionally, I have the website fixed and all set up so feel free to visit it and sign up for the newsletter for more in-depth updates. I also have some stickers available on the website.

Spells and Items

Bite-Sized! is a work-in-progress D6-based TTRPG that lets you play as bug people.

Over the past couple of weeks, I have been finishing out not only the spells but also all the items in the game. The only spell lists I have left to finish are the Druidic sorceries (which are about halfway done) and the Bestial sorceries.

The items that have been finished include armor, weapons, potions, tools, spell scrolls, and 20 magical items for your party to discover.

[bite-sizedttrpg]

Unfortunately, I am having issues with the account I was planning on using to allow people to buy stickers. However, I do have the small website up and running. There you can sign up for a newsletter about the game. This way I can keep most of the social media posts short and can go more into depth in the newsletter. Please forgive the weird link as I haven't figured out how to integrate it with code.

The website is: spidersdengames.bigcartel.com

An Update!

Apologies for not posting for a long time. I have been pretty busy working with artists and writing! Not only have I fully written out how all the lineage abilities work, but I also have nearly finished the spell list, which consists of 105 spells! Not only that but soon (hopefully within 2-3 months) I will be running a one-shot for my alpha playtesters. Once they have all played it and given feedback I will release it as a one-shot for whoever would like to try it out! To finish out this update I also have some stickers available!!! By the end of this week, my Etsy shop should be up and running and you can purchase these if you wish to help support this project! Here are the stickers:

These were drawn by the amazing Vittoria Pompolani! They have been absolutely amazing to work with and you can find all their stuff using this link: linktr.ee/bonedustreborn

Also, I will be posting more often now that I feel like I have updates other than "I wrote some spells today." So be on the lookout for those.

Small Update

Bite-Sized! is a work-in-progress D6-based TTRPG that lets you play as bug people.

I will for the next couple weeks reduce posts to only once a week. I will be posting on Mondays the stuff I have recently written. Once my Discord is finished, I will be answering any questions asked in the AMA section and will gladly talk to anyone who joins. Life has just kind of been a lot so I would like not to have to worry about posting Lore and Spotlights every week for a little. I hope you all understand and thank you for understanding.

Bite-Sized! Spotlight 8 Children of Akinoka

Bite-Sized! is a work-in-progress D6-based TTRPG that lets you play as bug people.

The Children of Akinoka (Ah-Kee-No-Kah) are based on Cicadas, Leafhoppers, and Froghoppers. They have multitudes of abilities that you can choose from when creating a character. You also have two base abilities. You start with Hibernation State, which allows you to rest for long periods without eating, and Soft Bodied, which makes it so you take more damage from piercing attacks. The other abilities include:

Antibacterial Wings. You gain a bonus to vitality checks involving disease.

Aposematic Coloration. You adopt a bright color to give yourself a bonus to intimidation checks against beasts.

Camouflage. You gain a bonus to stealth checks.

Color Flash Stun. You flash bright spots on your wings to possibly stun a beast.

Deafening Sound. You produce an extremely loud sound that can deafen and deal damage to nearby creatures.

Flight. You gain the ability to take to the sky.

Improved Jump. This doubles your jump distance and allows you to use your reaction to jump half your jump distance directly away from an enemy if they miss an attack.

Mimicry. This gives an even greater bonus to stealth than Camouflage.

Ocelli. With this creatures have a harder time sneaking up on you, especially from above.

Omni Directional Jump. This allows you to use your Improved Jump reaction in any direction.

Piercing Bite. You gain a rostrum that allows you to pierce the body of a creature to deal damage.

Stunning Sound. You let out a loud sound that can stun a creature for a turn.

Tougher Exoskeleton. This removes the vulnerability to piercing damage that you start with.

Water Repellant Wings. This will allow for flight in the rain or with wet wings, but only at half speed.

Wax Covered Body. Once per short rest, a stringy wax substance covers your body allowing you to escape from one grapple.

Miropleuria (Me-Roh-Plur-Ee-Ah) is the goddess of brutal battle and mother to the Children of Miropota. She is based on an Arthropleura. She is prayed to before entering combat, as some may need her ferocity to win the battle. She is prayed to but not as heavily as some of the other gods. She is often represented by a 6-foot-long millipede-like creature with a humanoid torso, arms, and head with dark gray colors and brandishes a halberd that is held in a single hand.

Bite-Sized! Lore Drop 7 Leeches

Bite-Sized! is a work-in-progress D6-based TTRPG that lets you play as bug people.

A new enemy has been added to Bite-Sized! Two different species of leeches have been added. They are formidable enemies that have over time learned to harness the magical properties of the insectoids' blood to cast their own rudimentary magic. Since hemolymph is quite different than mammalian blood only 2 species have adapted to prey on the insectoids. They can cast 4 basic spells. These are a small spray of fire, a self-healing spell, a freezing spell, and a fortifyarmor spell. These are incredibly dangerous creatures that are hunted only by the best hunters.
