Ever is my vigil
Truth is my light
I will suffer no Breaker
In my sight

Cry help, and I will come.
Cry war, and I will ride.
Cry havoc, and set me loose!
-- Oath of the Stagrider

The pain is sharp, but the will is strong.
Shackles are locked, but the chains are broken.
The graves are deep, but the fools are many.
The fall is far, but the enemy is soft.

Family lost, but friends were found.
Blood spilled, but the bonds were made.
Commands were given, but we could not hear.
Whips cracked, but the eyes were steel.

The slaves were taken, but they were trained.
The farms were plowed, but the seeds were weak.
The work was good, but the whips still cracked.
The sweat was earned, but they took all else.

The moon was young, but the land was old.
Wind did howl, but the ships still sailed.
The sun burned hot, but the water was cold.
The fields lay fallow, but the sea was a bounty.

Had a really successful playtest tonight. Going to refineva couple things in my system, but I think most of the mechanics are locked in.

#pathfinder game was fun, a good hangout with good people.

But with all of us adults exhausted to the point our brains couldn't brain the numbers, I see the problems with the system.
I'm confident my #ttrpg addresses the biggest problems, and alot of the minor ones with my previous favorite rpg.

20.11.2025 20:42 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 2    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

So I'm thinking about a #kickstarter to get some funding for my #ttrpg and paying for some artwork.

Tonight I'm continuing a #pathfinder 1e "Homebrew" of a nintendo-esque adventure.

I'm the GM and they're returning home on the way to check the Wastes North of the Sorbet Mountains

I think my #ttrpg is coming along well. my 4th revision is going to have alot of changes. Changing the "Cope" stat's name, and introducing a couple of new mechanics. Looking foreward to the nex closed #playtest , but any thoughts on if I have enough people to nake a #kickstarter work?

I've made some adjustments and I've got enouhh to make pregens for the next playtest.

Really excited

Runners matter in this case. If you're buying them, make sure to build in the tolerances you need, and of course, make sure to look at reference photos of other projects.
You should post when you're done!

Not really, but its the same principle as an I-beam in constuction. Just make sure to use glue and fasteners, depending on your material.

Sure, give me a DM. Just so you know, my beta reading step isn't for a bit. I need to at least do a round of editing and alpha-readers.
