(Originally posted on Cohost: https://cohost.org/binary/post/162256-total-effect-core-m ) So this is my first public post/design blog/etc about a system I’m developing as a...

Session 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 This time, I washed up on Abrus Island! Agonizing coughing. Heaving expulsions of salt water. Then, finally, a laborious inhale. You live....

Session 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 For this session, I returned to Coral Rock: The sigil seared into the ground shimmers like the bright, crystalline sea that laps against the...
-
Session 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 This time, I ran through The Cracks Betwixt, another pamphlet Realm! When something shatters, it leaves behind cracks. Over time, those cracks...

Session 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 For this session I revisited my first Realm, Cragcliff Reformatory! The very name elicits an involuntary response: it conjures up an image of a...

Session 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 Next up is Obsidian Brink, another pamphlet Realm. You are being followed. The instant you set foot in this Realm, something caught your scent. It’s...

Session 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 Fifth on the list was Castle Blanchard. This fragment of Obron is like something out of a fairytale: rolling hills provide the backdrop for an imposing...

Session 0, 1, 2, 3 Fourth on RUNEvember, we're entering the World's Grave. You wake in smothering darkness and claw your way out of a shallow grave. The air hangs heavy with...
-
Session 0, 1, 2 On the third stop, we've hit our first pamphlet realm, Obran Express! There are 4 of these right now if my memory serves. These are Realms that fit on a sheet...
-
Session 0, Session 1. Second stop in RUNEvember is Bulwark Hollow: A stiff breeze stirs the trees around you, the only sounds are that of the rustling leaves, the creak of...
-
Session 0 (and a description of what's going on here). I started off RUNEvember by playing through the Great Serpent Tree: Standing in a petrified half life, the Great Serpent...

I don't feel like writing a novel this month. I've done enough writing lately. What I do feel like is doing something I've been putting off for months: playing @gilarpgs 's...

Follow-up to my post about Total//Effect core mechanics. I realized I barely described what the rest of the system is in favor of being a Probability Weirdo. Let's do that. I...
-
So this is my first public post/design blog/etc about a system I'm developing as a SRD/toolkit, Total//Effect. It includes a bunch of probability stuff at the end if you're...

Hi there! I’m just going to go over the general history of this project, where it went, what state it ended up in, and takeaways going forward. This is going to be fairly...
-
Hi there! Long time no see! I’ve been thinking about 36th Way a bit recently and realized I never finished my class redesign rundown by talking about Alchemist. So let’s do...
-
Hi there! We’re coming up on the 1 year anniversary of APOCALYPSE FRAME v0.1 (which was also my first published game)! So let’s talk about AF v1.0, which I’ve been pretty quiet...
-
If you’ve ever wanted to take a crack at making your own third-party APOCALYPSE FRAME supplement, now’s your chance! Framed by the Apocalypse, a third-party license for...

Hi there! v0.4.1 is out. This should hopefully be the last update prior to v1.0. (Exciting stuff in store for v1.0, I can’t wait to show it off!) This includes: Core Backup...
-
Hi there! I’ve released v0.1.3 of ANOINTED. This one’s mostly about combat tuning as discussed in my last post as well as more character options. I made the changes described...

Hi there! Trophy is now available for download! It contains: 6 unique Armaments. 6 unique Modular Systems. 3 unique Frames. Some guidance on how to introduce them. If you’ve...
-
Hi there! Been awhile because I’ve been working on The Infected World. But I’ve been thinking about and tweaking ANOINTED in the meantime a bit. Tweaks for v0.1.3 Some general...

Hi there! Caravan is now available for download! It includes: Some more information/thoughts on The Wayfarers. A new Frame and some new loadout options. Mechanics for caravans:...

Hi there! I made a small update to BURNOUT. If you’re already using it, there are no mechanical changes. Changes are as follows: Correctly attributed the artist who made the...

Hi there! Territory is now available for download! It includes: Some more information/thoughts on The Claw. A new Frame and some new loadout options. Mechanics for territories:...
-
Hi there! This version has a noticeable, large change to Tension, but in gameplay terms, it’s not much of a change. (It’s a good excuse to do v0.4.0 though. Double digit patch...
-
Hi there! v0.1.2 is out! Some notes on what changed: Relayout to 6” x 9”, made the font a bit smaller. If I print this, it’ll be hardcover, so there’s no sense staying too...
-
Hi there! This is a fairly minor release. Here’s the list of changes: Changed the formatting of Systems to put Support/Offensive next to the name instead of in tags. This has...

Hi there! I’m going to show how the map for Wilderness works. The goal of the map is to provide a tangibility to the world itself and inspire the fiction of a mission. Placing...
