Rules for building your own Elders, in my newest #TTRPG supplement! Create giant rotting corpses, with cities in them that use leftover supertech! Wiiith: tables!

The base rules are free because play should be free. However, until capitalism is destroyed, I ask for a small fee for the adventure sceneraio that comes with the Secretkeeper games supplement.
Ko-Fi/Patreon members get it free!

The title screen of the Secretkeeper game supplement. A blakc background with a bright yellow drawing of an Elder in the bottom right corner, which is a huge, petrified corpse resembling an old man with small horns on his forehead and shoulders. Cities spread over his shoulder and knee. It states the title at top. The Elders setting logo sits below it. A pink-lettered list says that it includes "building rules, scenario, and adventure seeds".

What made #DnD5E great was simplification. What is killing #DnD5E is increasing complexity.

Good #RPG game design is fundamentally incompatible with the #neoliberal #neofeudal quest for #monopoly revenues and profits derived from #ownership of intellectual #property.

The #TTRPG industry is primarily a cottage industry precisely because a good game depends on a #ruleset which doesn't impede the #storylives of the #PlayerCharacters.

Cancerous #growth makes bad #gaming.

Currently working on a ttrpg #ruleset designed to design a setting and play #semigods of all kinds, strongly inspired from Amber Diceless, Nobilis, Fate and Forged in the Dark. Tentative title: Divine Comedians, or perhaps Divine Comedies.

I believe that I have setting and character creation and action resolution working.

Now, I wonder if I should have any kind of rules to handle any kind of endurance limitation, or if I should keep this aspect purely in-narration.

@tartarosso Oooh... interesting.

Working on my own #narrative #ruleset atm, though, so I may not have time to check this out.

Previous iterations had conflict rules loosely inspired from HeroQuest/HeroWars, but I had to dump that bit after playtesting.
