One of the best things I did last year was join the Designed in the DMV Collective. It's an informal group of game designers based in the DC Metro area. To say I love it is an understatement. The people are awesome and it's helped a lot #ttrpg #gameDesign #localindie #indie www.designedinthedmv.org

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.

level-zero-gaming.itch.io/legends-of-t... Level Zero's first true 1-page RPG is an old-school Zelda-style dungeon-delver! I think I owe the LoZ franchise for my love of fantasy. Before I started working on Arcana, I wrote up a system based on Breath of the Wild, which I never really finished. 1/2

Legends of the Dark World by Level Zero Gaming

This trifold TTRPG requires virtuous heroes, tetrahedral dice, & top-down dungeon nostalgia.

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

With the advent of 3D printers, TTRPG players are a very spoiled group. Need a rock? Here's a rock. Need a statue? Here's a statue. Need a chest? You guessed it. Here's a mimic. #d20 #DnD #ttrpg #lootandlair

Anyway, if you're interested in how spell crafting in Arcana: The Pursuit of Mastery works, the first few minutes of the video are a super brief rundown. The game itself gets going at the 8-minute mark! Check it out on the QXP YouTube channel! www.youtube.com/watch?v=cwWm... 🧵5/5

Level Zero Gaming @level-zero-gaming.itch.io · 29/07/2026

In a game where players can craft any spell imaginable with the tools at their disposal, you have to expect the unexpected because it's SURPRISINGLY RARE for a problem to be solved the same way twice! 🧵4/5

Level Zero Gaming @level-zero-gaming.itch.io · 29/07/2026

in a way that saved both the treasure and the dude protecting it! Britt, Andrew, and JB were a joy to play with. They jumped into the roles of the pre-made characters perfectly, and all of them made great moments for the session. 🧵3/5

Level Zero Gaming @level-zero-gaming.itch.io · 29/07/2026

The game went great, even in the super short format (90 minutes of play edited to about an hour), and they ended up solving the final puzzle (something of a trolley problem) 🧵2/5

I was in the same boat lol, I literally stuck with it *just* for Jeff Hays. I started the second one and the larger, series-level plot starts to pick up, and somehow I ended up finishing the whole series despite it also not being my usual cuppa tea lol

Lyme has impeccable taste in fantasy orcs. This game goes deeper than even the "cool orcs" approach I often like: it makes your character literally personally responsible for the way the orcs turn out in the classic "wizard did it" situation, exploring the question of creative responsibility.

Something I love about TTRPGs is that once you have even the simplest (potentially free) ruleset and some dice, you can literally play the same game forever. No-one can monetise it or take it away. You can hack it and mod it and write your own content for it so it keeps feeling fresh.
