The game starts with a mountain splitting in half, which kills your character.

That's how Tales of the Burned Stones (or TotBS) begins.

You then get resurrected by a mysterious cult with new abilities, giving you the means to fight back the fiends now pouring from the tunnels of the mountain.

The game is free, solo-friendly, and 100% open licensed too.

Tales of the Burned Stones RPG

Wasn’t expecting to work on this just yet, but ideas are just flowing. This is for Stoneburner, a sci-fantasy solo-friendly demon hunting / community building TTRPG. That piece is by my collaborator and illustrator Galen Pejeau! https://www.instagram.com/p/CnFIWYkLU4F/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

We have dedicated one of the proof print of Bandas Grove to editing. Sometimes you need to get the words away from the computer screen to actually see them.

Honestly working with Galen Pejeau is such a delight. The quality of the work he puts in very illustration is astonishing.

This one is for Stoneburner, a sci fantasy solo friendly TTRPG about dwarves who inherits a cursed mine after the death of their distant relative.

So excited for this !!!

It’s happening! We have launched our crowdfunding campaign for the Dungeon Year Design Journal! Thank you to everyone who has helped and supported us so far!

Now we need your help to raise the funds to make this journal a reality. The journal's design is complete and ready to go, and with your help, we'll bring them to print and delivered to you.

We created this journal to help you create your own worlds, cities, communities, and universes, and we can't wait to see what you'll make.

The design journal is available in two formats:

A 200-page A4 sized journal, giving you plenty of room to create anything you desire.

A 128-page A5 sized journal, condensed into weekly spreads to make the journal more portable.

On Stretch Goals and Additional Content

This is our first crowdfunding project, and as such, we are keeping it streamlined and low risk - that means we are not taking on stretch goals. We're doing this to ensure that our focus is getting you this wonderful journal into your hands as quickly as possible.

The money raised will go towards printing, distribution, and fulfillment of the journals and setting the journals up to be available in the future at your favorite retailers.

What will you make?

A Breathless OSR-ish style sci-fantasy TTRPG about dwarves inheriting a demon infested mining colony on an asteroid belt.

Still don't have a good name for it yet, but the writing is coming along nicely. I needed that to refresh my brain and think about things a bit differently for my other projects!

An Update to the Dungeon Year Design Journal: TABLES!

We've been working all this last week on designing rolling tables along with instructions and how to for the Dungeon Year Design Journal, and we just released it! The Town Generator alone has 10x 1d20 columns to define your town. Also included are:

2d66 population generator

3d20 faction builder

4d66 NPC generator

3d66 syllable-based name generator.

2d66 Flora and 2d66 Fauna tables

1d66 Biomes

1d66 Weather

1d66 Funky Table (to add to other rolls to make it funky)

1d66 Themes table to switch it up every week or month

2d66 tables each for: Fantasy objects, cyberpunk objects, horror objects, and space objects

2d66 Planetary location table

2d66 for both fantasy and modern rooms

1d6 "Today, let's make..." table

2d6 Question Oracle table.

That's 2,060 entries total across 20 tables. We worked to build these tables for use across many genres of game, or use them to make whatever you'd like.

And with this release, we are ready to begin working towards getting these journals actually printed! Getting a 128 page and 200 page wire-o bound journal printed, available for purchase, shipped, and distributed is no small task, so stay tuned as we are hurriedly working to finalize details of HOW to accomplish this!

This is your reminder that these pieces I made for the solo RPG GLIDE are free for you to use in your own projects!

These, and more, are released under CC-BY 4.0 and you can find them in this free art library I’m cultivating: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1UV63xx3Mue8TbVxImTdBDbzH9uljLmFh?usp=share_link

Hopes & Dreams has got a new look!

In preparation for the print run, I've upgraded the aesthetic of the game to better represent the grungy world of Hopes & Dreams!

This game is a rules-lite ttrpg where you play as young adults who want to make a difference in a world that won’t let them. Government officials are corrupted, your leaders are broken, and the future looks bleak.

Play in this original grunge industrial fantasy setting where you and your friends haven’t abandoned hope yet. You still have dreams of what life could be, and are willing to fight for it.

You can check out the game here

an old niche meme i made for indie TTRPG SRDs lolol

[rpdeshaies]

I just can’t stop thinking about the fact that the Hopes and Dreams SRD would make for a pretty cool wizards at school kind of game

Found some old design notes I wrote when I started working on Breathless, you can see how excited I was to have found the catch your breath mechanic 😄 https://www.instagram.com/p/Clt5h9Uuqu1/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Itching to play some Star Wars inspired TTRPG?

The Andor final just aired, which means you are probably itching to play some Star Wars style TTRPG. Well you should check out Renegades, a sci-fi tabletop role-playing game set in a used future.

Powered by the Breathless system, this game will truly make you feel like out of breath rebels!

One of the coolest things about this game is that the rules and character sheet fit on a single piece of paper! Perfect for a little improvised one shot ^^

Here's the link!
