The DM was giving @calamitypunk.bsky.social a dire warning that because he'd gotten a Nat20 on his previous roll, she was lowering the DC for the last check from a 30 to a 27. As she was going through the warning, he got nervous and did the roll mid-sentence. He got the fucking 30. #Aurendor #DnD

#SelfPromoSaturday #TTRPG hi folks! I've been working on a "Lived In" fantasy game called Last Rites, a game where you died, but that doesn't seem to be slowing you down. I'm currently up to 25 pages for the Player and Narrator, and I'm pretty dang ol happy with it 🥰
The front cover for the TTRPG Last Rites. It features a skeleton inspecting a sword in front of a statue.A "birds eye view" of the 25 pages in the TTRPG.An example of the stronger monsters in Last Rites. The Lindwyrm is like a Dragon and a Symbiote from Marvel, making an ever consuming creature.The basic rules for your character. You make safe checks by rolling 2d10 + a Stat versus a number (usually a defense). You can also make risky checks by rolling a 1d20 where you might critically succeed or fail. Your character is based around when you died.

Also, the name 'Calamity Punk' came from a joke in one of the earliest game's I GMed, describing Cealla, since it was inspired by moldy worlds like Zelda and FFIX with calamities come and gone. Not Steampunk or Crystalpunk, but Calamitypunk! #thanksforcomingtomyTEDTalk

Calamity Punk @calamitypunk.bsky.social · 07/02/2025
So Cealla is a world that I built for my brothers when I first started playing D&D! But it's really built off the question of "If gods were real & wanted us to survive, wouldn't they start by teaching us to brush our teeth?" And devolves into, "And how would people STILL mess it up?"

I feel like the unseen worldbuilding often times can add that sense of realism and mystery, especially when you 'show' via minor references to more important things or unreliable narration from characters in the world. Less shown is more in some ways perhaps?

I’d say typically somewhere around 50-70% depending where we are in our development cycle. We have a steady artist for NPCs and monsters, but concept art, maps, and other fillers tend to up that percentage haha
