We'd be well placed to climb into half-collapsed buildings to retrieve supplies and then carry 50kg back to camp

🍄🟫Ok let’s see how this goes….
When the world ends I will… (predictive text)
Sound like your game may be suffering from ‘Embers’ time. Maybe your table is in a weird bubble

Painting of a blonde-haired woman reading a book by a fire while a cute dog sits at her feet. The drawing represents progression. It's an exert from the upcoming Embers of Humanity print edition.
When you commission art from a proper artist and they just hit the vibe so hard.
Thanks @joieyong.bsky.social for this great portrait for our upcoming print release of Embers.
Would you like to read the post apocalypse community focused RPG I wrote with @johnthehedge.bsky.social ? Hope is a theme and empathy is a system.

Ok Bluesky help me out:
To raise awareness of @embersofhumanity.bsky.social hitting Backerkit next month, I want to offer myself out to podcasts, communities and other online groups as a GM/Guest. I wanna run my game for people and show them why it's so wonderful.
Who should I be talking to?

So, y’all ready for the fall?
(of society, not the cosy weather season 🍁)
“You stand on the bank of the river, the dark mists closing in. Your only choice is which grave will welcome you. Throw yourself to the cold embrace of the waters, or turn to lose yourself in the soothing call of the mist.”

Society collapses. Governments disappear overnight. The internet is gone, and only the embers of Humanity remain.
Which country or region would be entirely unaffected by the chaos?
Well.
The early pdf edition goes up to small settlements.
The backerkit print edition goes up to large towns.
And our latest supplement includes conversions to small boat settlements.
Also there’s proposals for other things on their way.
The system could probably handle cities.
Not really, but sort of.
The settlement has a number of statistics that increase as the settlement develops. These statistics represent abstract and specific advancement. So you might need level 2 tools to build your farm, which increases your food to 3.
Cause I want to spread the word about this great wee game I made, I've thrown in a free copy of the Angelic West setting to anyone that clicks 'Follow' on our up and coming Fundraiser.
Free stuff. One click away.
(Also, do a silly wee dance ever time I get a new follower. Make me dance!)
