#Homestuck: the TTRPG

[oldprince1587]

Its time for a little something I like to call “William Needs to Come Up with Ideas so he Talks to Himself”

The topic of today is

I have a little logo and everything, it’s hysterical.

I know that a number of people have made homestuck ttrpg adaptions, and I’ve read a lot about one called Tablestuck, if I recall correctly. They’re super neat and all the little things that they have are super cool! HOWEVER! The thing about Tablestuck is how many RULES there are.

Like holy shit. There’s SO MUCH. SO MANY THINGS. Every cannon grist type that has a name is listed. There’s a WORKING ALCHEMY SYSTEM and theres like SIX MILLION TYPES OF DAMAGE!!! That’s cool and all. However.

I am a fucking todler in the world of TTRPGs. I’m so very new to them. I’ve never ran a campaign. I’ve been in some, though!

So, the issues that I am facing; 1) The existing system is TOO hard. 2) The game should be enjoyable for people who aren’t huge homestuck fans

The solution? Resort to much more personalized, abstract, and interpretive concepts.

There’s so much about homestuck that I can’t like, sit here and be like “okay you’re a void player so at X level you get x many hp and get these traits” like you do in other systems, because Classpects are so diverse and personal. And you know how you fix that issue? You don’t!

For each character, we are going to discuss exactly what we want out of level ups, which decides what Fraymotifs (i think thats the right term. if its not, i dont care) they get! Things that will fit their character AND be useful to them. It’s personalized!!!!!!

Another thing about Homestuck that was carried over into tablestuck that i couldn’t work with was how lonely it was. Everyone was separated, there wasn’t much of a party. That’s a theme of Homestuck. HOWEVER! That is NOT something I can deal with, and it wasn’t something my players enjoyed. Solution??? Put em all together.

It really doesn’t matter how, I suppose. It’s like any other campaign, find a way to get them all in one spot, baybie!!!

But like. What about the character sheet? It went through a few iterations, honestly. But I’m settling on something more like this!

Its so pretty! and it’s a google doc!!! look at it!!! I’m so in love. The thought for the stats was that we have four, maybe five. They’re called HARDER BETTER FASTER STRONGER as an obvious reference. It was a remnant of our first concept. However, these WILL be changed in the near future, since they overlap way too much to make sense. A fun thought is that all the stats are very general, so you get to make your case to the DM about which one to use for a roll. I feel like I’m gonna use some sort of dice scaling, but yeah! Not sure. And, under the categories, people get like, special skills to roll more on!

So uh. Happy 4/13! Here's my freshly finished fantroll, bc I thought it'd be funny to make one on 2024 I guess-

I don't have a name for her, so suggestions would be welcome. I wanted to push a bit the bug traits, as well as some bull-like stuff since she's a rustblood. No idea what I'll do for her. Probably another tiefling for DnD. It's the pipeline, anyhow-

[suffing]

hmmm well thats easier said then done seeing as ive just Kinda started being able to make some again after about 9 months(which honestly was kinda 2 hopeful on my part cus i almost immediately over did it n should take a break again,,, B') oops,, ) these 3 most recent ones were done with my right hand!

The Land of Rhythm and Flame

latest map for homestuck ttrpg. very proud of this one, only took about three hours

[indie-ttrpg-of-the-week]

One day late, whatever

https://we-need-to-talk.itch.io/egress

I'm one day late to 4/13 but I just wanna note that if you wanna play a homestuck TTRPG, Egress is, imo, one of the best options, focusing on emulating the drama of homestuck vs the gameplay of sburb, something i see some games do the mistake of doing. Check it out!

The idea of a sburb/sgrub ttrpg came up in a conversation with friends, and I think I might have sent myself down insanity driven spiral. I could probably make it work, but it would be one of the most intensive things I've tried to date.

Introducing the OTHERWORLDS low bloods cast Serfir, Gravos and Knyres! Serfir, the Knight of Hope rust blood, is currently exploring the Land Of Jails And Churches, where all their Consorts have resorted to living in an underground network of dungeons and tunnels after horrific monsters took over the above lands. Sadly, the Rouge of Breath bronze blood, Cryprs, failed to made it to their medium and was lost to the meteorites impacts on Alternia. There is no drawn design for Cryprs :( Knyres, the Seer of Doom gold blood, is currently exploring the Land of Floats and Doubles, where he has made the shop keep cry then proceeded to shoplift. what a monster. there are also floating rocks, but thats probably not important. Gravos, the Witch of Time secret lime blood, is currently trying to get themselves through their own gate as their server player is inactive. They live in a cottage currently surrounded by an ocean of acid, on the planet LOGAR, acronym yet to be revealed. art by respective characters players

Sburb ttrpg stuff I'm writing down

Homestuck: SBURB and the beginning

600+ pages

Introduction to the world and sburb along with character creation and things related to that (ala strife combat and deck, captchalogue stuff like fetch modi, along with early steps to but not quite God tier stuff) good bit of alchemy info along with customizing your own stuff in both modes.

Lots of lore pages too, along with comics and word dumps as we are used too.
