Then there's the game you get to play where you keep going: "are you asking for X? Maybe Y?" and when they eventually say yes you never quite know if you successfully guessed what they were saying or just stumbled upon an acceptable substitute.

May not seem like a big deal BUT IT IS. The L.O.R.E. Kickstarter is up to 100 Followers 🪅🎉🥳🪅 Between that and our mailer our total is 190, and that's only 10 more until 200! This game is near and dear to my heart. It's years of work (with no pay 😂), by one person, and it's so close to real!

L.O.R.E is an immense #ttrpg, a product that merges old school strategy with modern mechanics. Our #kickstarter is launching soon, and we're trying to get as much exposure as possible. Help us out with a like, a follow, or a repost! Or... Follow the 🔗⬇️ to follow the campaign itself!

A still ad for the L.O.R.E. Ttrpg. It says:

"An epic, fantasy roleplaying game..." , with a graphic of the player's guide and a button that says "Swipe for Lore".

The second still with a heading that reads: "...with robust character creation..."

There are 3 bullet points that read:
- "Class Branches" let you evolve your character from level to level.
- Explore 6 magic "Origins" with over 1,000 powers between them.
- Match physiologies, cultures, and backgrounds to create any concept.

The 3rd still in the series with a heading that reads: "...and endless modular systems."

The bullet points here here:
- Strategic combat, social encounters, and rich environmental challenges.
- Crafting, Character Motivations, Relationship Building, Property...
- Infinite progress to facilitate both long and short term campaigns.

We're fresh off our first convention presence and HOT DAMN am I pleased. The interest in L.O.R.E. was stellar--every time I said "D&D x Final Fantasy Tactics" our booth goers went 👀 Almost 100 mailing list sign ups, lots of new friends (who won free dice) and a great time.

We'll be our first REAL, physical presence starting tomorrow at Ragecon in #reno, hopefully to drum up some excitement for L.O.R.E. and meet some real #ttrpg nerds. We are 100% over-prepped, ready to chat into infinity, and I'm assuming we've already forgotten 20 things.

What started as an annoyance with the direction of D&D in the form of new systems and redone character creation, L.O.R.E. became its own #ttrpg wholly manifested on merit. Infinitely customizable, deep, and satisfying, I'm beyond excited for folks to get their hands on it.

Don't mind us being a bit quiet recently, we're just prepping some content. Want to know more about L.O.R.E.? Give us a follow and get ready for an epic freakin' game.

The Limit Edition LORE cover, featuring 5 adventurers on various action poses: a Witch with a blazing spell in flight, a Paladin wielding a magical shield and sword, Wejit, an Inventor, brandishing a pistol, a Dancer with her blades set alight, and a Marauder, axe raised high, all against an epic background of a raise valley and shadowy adventurers behind them.

Want to know more about L.O.R.E.? Let's cap the last few details of Character Creation for this #selfpromosaturday! We looked at Heritages last time (see the quote!) so today we're looking at Backgrounds and Motivations. #ttrpg 🧵⤵️

A 2 page spread of sample materials for the LORE Motivations System. It details how the system works, by Keywords determined by a character's chosen Motivations, which can be "satisfied" to gain experience, and can be gained, lost, or suppressed during play.

Flaws too can add to your background, allowing you to sacrifice some kind of capability for a boost. Like Background Traits, Flaws stick with you throughout the game, and may drastically change how you play, or give you just enough extra to grab that essential feature.

A list of flaws:

Fulfilled Contract. Makes you indebted to a Devil or Hag, with them sending minions to collect your soul at the most inconvenient times.

Haunted. You are straight up haunted, with a ghost or other spirit that follows you around and makes your life so, so very difficult.

A list of flaws:

Chronic Illness. Wake up to a bad day. Triggers more often than not. It's always bad.

Damage Sponge. All damage hurts.

Deaf. You're deaf.

Limb Condition. You're missing a limb or its permanently disabled.

Mute. You're mute.

It's definitely a game that plays best if you aren't relying on a single person to be the only one who has read the rulebook.

Let's start with Character Creation. More than just a bundle of attributes, the plethora of creations options are designed to shape your choices both narratively and mechanically. Split between your Heritage, Background, and Motivations, the customization is staggering. #ttrpg #gamedesign #indie

A sample page from the LORE Player's Companion featuring character physiologies, some art of Sifa the Assassin, and various options and details for the "Smallfolk", four individual physiologies including the Gnome, Gobling, Halfling, and Kobold.

Less social meda presence usually means more work is getting done, and that's been exactly the case for us! For #selfpromosaturday in the #ttrpgcommunity, we've got some example spreads for the L.O.R.E. Player Guide. Enjoy some of the details from Book 1:

This spread futures LORE's Physiologies, a series of 26 "races/species" for character creation, along with Sifa, a Sky Gnome, rendered at the top, and a more in-depth look at the "Smallfolk" section, which details Gnomes, Halflings, Kobolds, and Goblins!

This spread features the LORE "alignment" system: Motivations, a concept that drills down into WHAT motivates a character to do what they do. This has the basic description of keywords and a short list of available chaotic and evil motivations.

The splash page for Chapter 4 of the LORE Player's Companion. This page features Alethia on the first page, with (eventually) a short story featuring her legendary tale.

The page aside has a list of all base & advanced LORE classes, about 40 or so, along with a description of class attributes.

A splash page of the Witch, one of the Arcane Caster Classes in LORE. The Witch has 3 advanced classes: the Hag, Spellweaver, and Witch Knight, with their respective tables, and a bit of introductory details about the class featured here.

Additionally, we've got some custom, original art of an Ice Witch, set against a cold mountain background.

Suppose I should mention this? I do have a published novel: The Soul of Chaos is a dark, epic fantasy in the vein of Malazan thru the lens of Berserk. It's a wild ride of serious stakes, in a world that doesn't fall victim to its own tropes and treats you like an adult. 🔗⤵️ a.co/d/0eP6fSZq

The cover of The Soul of Chaos, which features it's two protagonists, Rurik and Arkalis, in various heroic poses. Rurik is in the foreground, a weathered man with long, black hair, a messy beard, and highly sophisticated armor wielding a glaive.

Behind him is his sister, Arkalis, a red-haired warrior wielding a blade of obsidian, wearing a mish-mash of clothes, surrounded by dark magic.

A map of the Realm of Order, the setting of The Soul of Chaos, showing the 30 major regions of the world, which is broken up to 5 continents, a massive archipelago and several more island chains strewn about.

The realm is about half the size of earth with VERY different physics, as the edge of the world is, quite literally, the edge of physical existence.

Our artist for LORE, Miranda, is incredible at pulling images out of my head. I think these sketches could use significantly more appreciation, so BEHOLD, some of our canon "Legends", feature characters in our side stories, or "Legendary Tales".

Tomoe Takeko is a Sword Saint Drujkin. Basically, that means she's a Yokai that murders you good with a sword.

Sifa is one of my favorite characters. She cute, she sol, she's the scariest god damn assassin you can meet in the back alley at night.

Gerriant, our resident "Baby Girl", has just as much cleavage as Takeko. Maybe a bit more, actually. ...yeah that fits.
