About Cascadian_Worldbuilder
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.)

Worldbuilding and designing my system!
How Cascadian_Worldbuilder runs games
I run sort of a dark narrative game, I sympathize with my players, however I do like high stakes adventure. I am a big fan of emotional storytelling. I also don't shy away from creating stakes and tension. I pour a lot of my time into creating in-depth worldbuilding for my players. I've been working on my worldbuilding project for several years, and I spend a lot of my time drawing art and maps, designing unique intriguing cultures and monsters, building magic systems which truly feel esoteric, and otherwise being creative. I am currently working on a homebrew game system (Songs upon the Din) which I hope to publish one day. :) I need playtests at the moment, I value feedback and player experience. Feel free to join my game! Those who are welcoming are themselves welcome! :)

swell, but the point of TTRPGs is to tell a freakin story.
