About the adventure

It's like one of the skalds tales- theres something strange about that thing wrapped in cloth. You can't bring yourself to close your eyes around it. The extent of what your patron told you was to bring it to Zerrát, that one of the Vehl would be more than willing to pay a great sum of hooks for it, and to never remove the wrappings. I need players to playtest a game I'm designing! This game is a homebrew play-by-post Non-medieval, speculative anthropology, with cultures designed from the ground up and esoteric magic systems. This is a game for storytellers. :) Those who are welcoming are themselves welcome!

About me

I'm an Artist, writer, and worldbuilder. I've played mostly D&D5e (2014), but i did a gamma world one shot when I was like, 12 or so. I love niche and alternative TTRPGs. I would be honored to play something more niche than D&D. The Vast majority of my experience is with 5e, but I have at least a loose understanding of Tales from the loop, Pathfinder, Starfinder and Daggerheart. I am currently working on my own tabletop Roleplaying game; which is sort of a dark Fantasy speculative anthropology narrative game set in a dark, stone age / bronze age world where I've built cultures and lineages from the ground up, and there's plenty of weird esoteric magic to spare. I'm looking for people who would be willing to playtest my game over text (to see how comprehensive and legible the rules are.)

What to expect

Preparing for the session

You will need discord, as well as physical dice or some kind of dice roller. You should be willing to learn a new system, and to engage with lore and the world. Also: I really appreciate constructive criticism and feedback.

What Cascadian_Worldbuilder brings to the table

This is a lore-focused narrative game, worldbuilding is extremely important to the kind of game I run. I need creative players who are interested in lore, worldbuilding and narrative, and I need players who are willing to give good constructive criticism. The game system we will use is a work in progress, so much if what I need is playtesting. I tend to be fairly lenient when it comes to rules, but I think it's important we stick to some of them.

Homebrew rules

The entire game is homebrew. The best summary of rules I can give is that much of the game is based around a skill system, characters have multiple pools of health which represent presence, sanity and hull, and characters are represented by a number of symbols.
