For Legends of the Dark World, I stripped that concept down to a rules-lite form factor and wrote a simple template on how to create dungeons in the classic Zelda format. I would say I owe Zelda a love letter, and the time will come for that. For now, here's my love note lol.

I've been working on a cleaner, more formalized version of Arcana: The Pursuit of Mastery's NPC stat blocks! This is one of the most procrastinated sections of the game lol so I'm challenging myself to create one NPC a day until all 50+ are done! #WIPwednesday #ttrpg #indierpg #dnd #itchio

I know this NPC generator is great because the first one I rolled was 'Theodore the minor with a drink in hand' 🤣 🎲🎲Pro tip: you can roll 2d6 for better chances at rolling more 'normal' NPCs or 3d4 for even better chances. With 1d12, you're throwing caution to the wind lol #rpg #ttrpg #rpgsky

We are switching to an early-access model hosted on Itch.io! If you're interested in supporting the game and want to get your hands on it today, take the following link and we'll see you there! The early access version of the game is available for $20 ($10 off the final price). #TTRPG #IndieRPG

Level Zero Gaming @level-zero-gaming.itch.io · 31/03/2026
Since the game is in early access, it doesn't seem right to charge full price for it, so it's available for $20 ($10 off). Also, if you're interested in putting artwork of your character in the book, the Patron of the Arts tier is still available on Itch.io at the same price as the Kickstarter!

Level Zero Gaming @level-zero-gaming.itch.io · 31/03/2026
We didn't reach our crowdfunding goal, but the game is releasing today in early access on Itch.io! Get the game now: level-zero-gaming.itch.io/arcana-pursu... If you're ready to get your hands on the game, please head to the link above, click the purple "Buy Now" button, and download it right away

I wanted to take a second to highlight what I think is a really cool reward tier for an RPG: the OC Insert The artwork for Arcana is 100% bespoke and 100% funded by the backers! For $99 (just $70 over the std price) you can have your OC immortalized in the book! www.kickstarter.com/projects/lev...

She's built to reward curious, experimental players. If your instinct at the table is to ask "What happens if I...?" Adeline might be your go-to! Character illustration by @stregawolf.art! #indiettrpg #TTRPGCommunity #TTRPGDesign #ttrpg #characterillustration

Her spellbook reflects that. Gravity wells, localized time dilation, and the Ether Slip Essence, which places objects or creatures in multiple locations simultaneously. These are tools for someone who understands the universe at a structural level and uses it as leverage.

Level Zero Gaming @level-zero-gaming.itch.io · 02/03/2026
"Normal is just a word for phenomena no one bothered to question." Kickstarter Launches, Tues 3/3! is.gd/HGqqvI Adeline is the arcane equivalent of an applied astrophysicist. She doesn't just theorize about the fundamental forces of the universe, but conjures and manipulates them directly.

Level Zero Gaming @level-zero-gaming.itch.io · 01/03/2026
Caernach's build is memory-based. He's had a long time to learn a long list of essences, and his high memory allows him to prep them all simultaneously. He's also mastered Essences in every category, making him something of a jack of all trades. 3️⃣/3️⃣
010
Level Zero Gaming @level-zero-gaming.itch.io · 01/03/2026
The book states that 'You may play any type of intelligent humanoid you can imagine', and that 'The game merely assumes that you are a mortal, corporeal spellcaster', so why not include an example of how far you can take Lineage with one of the pre-made characters?! 2️⃣/3️⃣

"I've wandered every road and stream in Ardis. I only fear the one that goes home." Arcana launches on Kickstarter Tuesday 3/3 is.gd/HGqqvI As a wight, Caernach stretches Arcana's loose race/lineage system about as far as it should go. 1️⃣/3️⃣ #ttrpg #kickstarter #arcanarpg #characterillustration

"Few even claim to have never spoken falsely, but what a person lies *for* reveals what they hold most precious." His magic revolves around the Essence of Memories. With the use of the Divine, Project, and Influence Operations, he can find, view, insert, and even alter memories. 3️⃣/3️⃣

As a student at Acanthus University’s College of Psychometry, Jaskier is studying magic to uncover the lost meanings of things such as forgotten languages and the histories of objects and people. As fascinated as he is by the truth of things, he finds something compelling in the departures of truth.

Level Zero Gaming @level-zero-gaming.itch.io · 26/02/2026
"History doesn't hide from us. It's waiting for someone with the means to find it." Kickstarter: is.gd/HGqqvI Another pre-gen for Arcana: Jaskier is a historian and an archaeologist with a fascination for the ways legends transform in their retelling. 1️⃣/3️⃣

Level Zero Gaming @level-zero-gaming.itch.io · 24/02/2026
3️⃣/3️⃣ Her spellbook is focused. With Memory being her weakest stat, she can't make good use of a huge variety of Essences anyway. A honed training regimen enables her to react instinctively with spells, which keeps her alive in the fights she seeks out.

Level Zero Gaming @level-zero-gaming.itch.io · 24/02/2026
2️⃣/3️⃣ It's weird to pick Physique as your best stat in a game of wizards! She shows that it's a playable choice. Sadiya is the protector of the group. Her skills make her excellent at detecting danger and defending herself and others from it. She’s a fast mover, and a fast talker too.

Level Zero Gaming @level-zero-gaming.itch.io · 24/02/2026
"You made me a monster. I made myself a soldier. We'll see whose work lasts." Sadiya is one of four quick-start characters for Arcana. She's a Witcher-esque bounty hunter type built to show that Arcana can support a combat-focused playstyle. Arcana Launches on Kickstarter 3/3: is.gd/Cm1xVv 1️⃣/3️⃣

Re-doubt is a spell that inflicts doubt upon doubt itself, forcing the subject of the spell to think twice about disbelieving what they are seeing or hearing. This handy little hex comes in handy for illusionists and tellers of tall tales, letting them get away with a trick more often than not!
