Took a couple points of psychic damage when someone said they wished nova 2 was a video game instead (me too) Then another person suggested I make it more like FRAME (I won't)

I've been working on a looooot of WYRM stuff lately. So, in case you missed it earlier this year: I made a cool adventure game. And everything I make for it is PWYW.

This PbtA game I'm working on only has one shared basic move (roll+LORE). No stats or attributes. All the playbooks have their own unique moves to supplement the one basic. Advancement through transferring things between playbooks. It's fun!

Day 2 of MORKTOBER via WYRM: Curse Never break the rules of hospitality around a campfire.
A curse for the WYRM TTRPG. The bottom right has a drawing of a campfire. The text reads: 

Curse of the Wanderer (condition)
Caused by breaking the hospitality of a shared campfire. Afflicted Wyrms will wander the next day, any pause causing excruciating agony.

The next day must be spent in the company of others, preferably around a warm fire.

Today is the day I decide if LORE goes more rules-lite or more crunchy.

I just shared my WYRM dungeon: Red God of Ren with patrons! It's a nice little dungeon crawl for Tier 2 Wyrms. The whole thing prints in a nifty 8 page zine. I even included a booklet formatted PDF so you could print it at home! www.patreon.com/gilarpgs/pos...

Day 1 of MORKTOBER reframed for WYRM: GOAT Voheshi goats have pincer-like horns that grab and fling their prey off cliffs, dashing their bodies on the ground to be devoured later. Their horns are prized by Voheshi arcanists as a catalytic ingredient in the creation of void ink.

I'm glad I didn't spend a lot of time on here today. It looks like there is a lot of talk about PbtA moves, and as I'm making one, I'm going to just avoid reading what everyone thinks about them/what they should be.

The WYRM stuff keeps coming! With the spookiest month starting tomorrow, I'll be releasing a small dungeon for WYRM that's definitely not about vampires.

I'd be lying if I said the NOVA 2 campaign wasn't bumming me out. Yesterday was a flat day (no new pledges), and today is a negative day (losing pledges). But, I'm having fun making little WYRM things, and I run Blades tonight. So I've got that going for me, which is nice.

FAR is the current RPG rule book i use in my games. It's another rules light, pseudo osr thing. I just added to dungeon zines to it. I will keep adding more content as I work on it but the price will go up as it grows. It's $10 right now. Available on itch and dtrpg. natetreme.itch.io/far

I'm designing a game. Thematically, you're a wizard, thirsty for an all powerful wish, only 4 orbs of power can grant. Mechanically, 1-4 players are flipping tiles, programming actions, managing domino magic and energy to fight those who stand in your way. Coming to Kickstarter mid October.

Coming soon: PONDUS: An Analog Wizard Game
You're a wandering wizard on the hunt for the orbs of power in this tile-flipping battle royale adventure game.

This is the earliest of interest checks. I am going to run a NOVA themed mega game soon. You will be assigned to a faction of Obron and try to dominate the world map. Work with and against the other factions. It's basically a big game of NOVA diplomacy PbP discord thing. Would you play?
