I mean, I liberally plumb other systems for content in general, so relatively all the time. Mechanics, setting, anything I can pull that sounds good to me.

“His majesty the worm” uses a deck of tarot cards, minor arcana for players and major arcana for the GM. Combat plays as a sort of “poker game”

I really like the sentinels comics rpg - https://www.greaterthangames.com/pages/sentinel-comics

It’s based on the sentinels of the multiverse card game, and has a really unique system. Basic low down - every roll you have die based on a “stat”, a power, and your (or the scene’s) status (green, yellow, red).

On a basic roll, you always take the middle die as your results. Powers might alter this or do something extra.

So for example, let’s say you have super strength as a stat for a d8, a power die of a d6 for the power you’re using, and a d6 for your current status (green). You’d roll all three of these and take whatever value is the “middle” result (so like d8 - 2, d6 - 4, d6- 5, you’d get a 4).

Powers might do something like “deal damage equal to the lowest die, but heal an ally for the middle die” or “deal damage with the highest die, but take a penalty equal to the lowest die”

Merry Christmas and happy holidays to all!

This is extremely messy, but a quick job to just change the font style really fast. Lots of things dont quite line up, but its a start if this helps. I’ll go through later and fix it up, and add it to the store links.

i suppose i could make a version with a ‘normal’ font. Technically should only take a few seconds as i modify the styling, but its likely to mess up all the orientation/formatting of the document. I’ll look into that later, thanks for the feedback!

i used aseprite to make all the art; I also tended to limit my color palette to era-appropriate colors, though i moved between different color palette limitations on some parts

note that this is the air 3; its a bit more expensive than the go, which is the ~250ish model i mentioned above. The go is also only 7 inches instead of…i think 12 on this? They use the same sort of color eink on all their tablets, though

How expensive is “too expensive”? I have a boox note 3 and read TTRPGs all the time on it. Their color eink screens are really good. You can get the go series for 200~250-ish

I can post a picture later today (busy atm) of my boox with a color PDF if you want to see how it looks

Yeah, i figured it was probably under priced with our current host, but im not looking to balloon costs 4-5x or something when switching to a new host, hopefully. I’d like fully managed if possible, but yeah, another thought was including people who could look at things in my stead, though I don’t really have a list of people i’m aware of who i could recruit.

thanks! i’ll have to look these over!

i think @sirblastalot@ttrpg.network is the only /c/rpg mod really active, so tagging him for any input on the community view…

Fyi, the author @slyflourish@ttrpg.network is known to hang out around here from time to time. He’s also on mastodon as @slyflourish@chirp.enworld.org

As a DM, thinking on your toes has been invaluable. The ability to come up with ideas, explanations, and more on the fly has helped a lot at work in meetings when unexpected things come up.

Ice/crystal golems. Crystal structures are very regular/organized and I would argue quite lawful.

since youve mostly gotten your answers on the basic questions, i will add some other information here for you as FYI. If you’re wondering, you can use regular old acrylic hobby paints for miniatures. It’s going to take some extra work and a lot of mixing to get it the right consistency and will be a learning curve there.

If you’re wondering if it’s worth the money to spend on mini paints, that’s going to be entirely up to your preference. Mini paints can be quite pricey vs regular old craft store paints. I would maybe suggest dabbling with regular paints and getting some thinner medium and see if mixing them works out well for you. If you find it too annoying/frustrating/not worth your time then get mini paints. Mini paints can basically be used right out of the bottle.

i’ve never played it; How does the system work? is it a traditional d20-like system or something else?

Yeah, looks like it got all jacked up when I posted it from my app. Gonna fix it
