Unlike other fantasy settings, the Snarl -- our upcoming weird fantasy RPG -- is not awash with murderous tomb robbers. 🧵↓

This is a prototype zone map we are using for our upcoming weird fantasy RPG, The Snarl! Read more about how we apply zones on our Dev blog! snarlrpg.com/zones/
A map with 3 zones: engaged, ranged, and skirmish. The engaged zone also has smaller clusters. The skirmish and ranged zones are repeated, so you can keep PCs on one side and NPCs on the other.

Clackers come in a wide variety of forms, large and small. Many mimic the forms of other Weald species; others are more esoteric. Their sap-like blood possesses regenerative capabilities.

When you make a character in The Snarl, you can choose from twelve different species that live in the world known as the Weald. Today I’m going to talk a bit about one of the stranger ones: Clackers.

There Are No Gods. There are no signs of divine power or omnipotence. If there are supernatural forces behind the Weald, they are long absent and negligent in their duties. The Weald’s sapients have myths and tales and even creation stories, but no organized religions or faiths.There Are No Humans. Abandon your anthropocentric mindsets. This world was not crafted by or for human hands. Embrace your new limbs and senses. Adapt yourself to non-human modes of thinking.Threats Are Encroaching. The Weald’s ecological systems are unbalanced. The Blight and the Creep consume more of the world every day. This has disrupted the equilibrium of entire societies and bioregions. Strife looms with the displacement of refugees from their homes and never-before-experienced scarcity.

Hey folks, let’s talk about our upcoming weird fantasy RPG, the Snarl! First up: an overview of what the game is — and isn’t! Every fantasy setting is based on underlying assumptions that shape the world. These are some of the defining characteristics of The Snarl.
The Snarl Is Strange. The environment is lush and wild and teeming with flora and fauna—and yet to a human’s alien eyes, it is unnatural, impossible to have grown into being by organic means. It is a place of beauty and wonder—and undefinable wrongness. The residents, of course, know no different.This Is Not Your Typical Fantasy World. There is no feudalism, no kings or queens, no peasants. The material aspects of the Weald have generated other social structures. Heroes are motivated not by greed, but by survival, loyalty, or a thirst for knowledge, justice, or adventure. The riches and loot sought by murder hoboes are absent here—no gold, no magic swords, no spell books. Treasures are gifted for social status. Monsters exist, but dragons and orcs are replaced by far stranger things.The Environment Is Feral. The Weald is verdant and alive. Millions of species thrive here—and millions more prey upon them. Outside of settlements and nomad camps, the Snarl is a dangerous place, teeming with dangerous wildlife. Stragglers and wanderers often do not return. The residents are familiar with their local regions, but the Snarl grows quickly. Numerous civilizations have been swallowed under the leaves and mulch.Magic Is Unusual. This is not a world of spells and grimoires. All denizens make use of sap reverently drawn from the pillars and consumed for supernatural effects. Spirits lurk invisibly everywhere, working as caretakers of the environment, taking physical form only when needed. The sparks who see and command these spirits also manipulate esoteric forces within the environment for their witchcraft.
