Cloud Empress Rulebook FOR FREE!
Tumblr media
Several months ago, I did development work on Cloud Empress, a standalone, Nausicaa-inspired TTRPG by worlds of watt. It's full, beautiful rulebook recently went up on DriveThruRPG FOR FREE so I think folks should check it out. I'm really proud to have taken part in the project and think the end result is tremendous! Plus, there's so much more coming for it in the near future!

A ghostly pixel ghost, part of the art assets for FORIVA: The Angel Game whipped up by @ashweather. Is this an enemy? A friend? A clue? You'll have to back our kickstarter at the $32 tier or higher to get the adventure module "FORIVA: The Angle Game" and find out!
Eureka: Investigative Urban Fantasy is a neo-noir investigation-focused RPG with (as you can probably guess from the title) a supernatural twist. Eureka fills several voids we have noticed in the TTRPG space. Eureka supports investigation to a degree we haven’t seen before, ensuring that searching for clues is a granular and player-driven process, but also ensuring that the whole story doesn’t grind to a halt after one single failed investigation check.
Though most PCs will be mundane humans—or perhaps because most PCs will be mundane humans—Eureka also supports playing monstrous PCs, such as a vampire, in a way we have never seen before. This isn’t just a watered-down stat bonus, it’s like playing an almost entirely different game, with all the monster’s strengths and weaknesses to account for while solving the mystery, plus the added incentive to keep it a secret from the other PCs as well as their players.
If you like or are interested in Call of Cthulhu, Monster of the Week, Dresden Files, X-Files, Kolchak: The Night Stalker, Apocalypse Keys, or Gumshoe, you’ll probably find something in Eureka to really enjoy.
Eureka: Investigative Urban Fantasy is kickstarting from right now until May 10th! Back it while you still can!

If you want to try before you buy, you can download a free demo of the prerelease version from our website or our itch.io page!
If you’re interested in a more updated and improved version of Eureka: Investigative Urban Fantasy than the free demo you got from our website, subscribe to our Patreon where we frequently roll our new updates for the prerelease version!
You can also support us on Ko-fi, or by checking out our merchandise!
Join our TTRPG Book Club At the time of writng this, Eureka: Investigative Urban Fantasy is the current game being played in the book club, and anyone who wants to participate in discussion, but can’t afford to make a contribution, will be given the most updated prerelease version for free! Plus it’s just a great place to discuss and play new TTRPGs you might not be able to otherwise!
We hope to see you there, and that you will help our dreams come true and launch our careers as indie TTRPG developers with a bang by getting us to our base goal and blowing those stretch goals out of the water, and fight back against WotC's monopoly on the entire hobby. Wish us luck.

I made a 2 page Science Fiction Horror TTRPG
I noticed a sad lack of Science Fiction themed TTRPGs, and I just decided to say screw it and make one. So for anyone who needs a Sci-Fi horror themed TTRPG, or I guess a simple system that can be fitted to any horror setting, here you are. Have fun with it.
Download it if you want. Donations aren't working yet, so leave a comment if you think it is worth any money. Love to see some feedback on these and if I should make more.

◈   TAG NINE PEOPLE YOU’D LIKE TO KNOW BETTER!
favourite colour(s): teal and gold !
favourite flavour(s): spicy, umami, sour, bitter, complex.
favourite genre(s): Science fiction is my absolute favorite, but I also enjoy elements of psychological horror, uncanny valley, cyberpunk, western, historical and urban fantasy.
favourite music: I'm in love with this scene and song at the moment. (This is a fight scene, so content warning for firearms and combat.) But I like anything from indie rap to bluegrass to modern rock to klezmer to metal.
favourite movie(s): Star Trek XI, Star Trek: TMP, Star Trek: TVH, Star Trek Beyond, X-Men United, X-Men: First Class, X-Men: Days of Future Past, Everything Everywhere All At Once, Contagion, Changeling, Lady in the Water, Shrek, Finding Nemo, Lilo & Stitch, The Iron Giant, Kill Bill, Full Metal Jacket, Shawshank Redemption, Down to Earth... so many!
favourite series: Honestly it's Star Trek (particularly the new Treks, and I'd name Star Trek: Picard as my all-time favorite) and X-Men (X1/2 and XMFC/DOFP are up there).
last song: Lately by Lera Lynn.
last series: Legion! I'm on Season 2. It's supremely good.
last movie: Be Here Now, the movie about Andy Whitfield, the face claim I chose for the younger version of Picard in @ensnchekov and I's The Company 'verse. It's about his struggle with cancer and mortality, and ultimately is a tribute to him.
currently reading: A long-beloved fanfiction that I saved as a PDF before it got removed from AO3. I'm also rereading some old roleplays for nostalgia's sake.
currently watching: Legion - Season 2, Episode 5 "Chapter 13"
currently working on: Polishing up some collaborative works to post on AO3 and vibing! I counsel people in my free time, so I'm usually always on a chat with somebody who's having a hard time.
tagged by ; @my-timing-is-digital (thankies!) tagging ; @ensnchekov @evcryopeneye @iamselfmade @kalvaertar @elencr @afemininemystique @thprofessor and you !

Hello! You can call me Apidae! I'm 27, NB, and I've been roleplaying for a little over a decade. I guess l'd be considered semi-lit, considering I tend to favor a paragraph to 3-5 paragraphs, I'll elaborate in a few paragraphs so bear with me. I am versatile and can play any gender and I expect the same of you.
I'm looking for someone who can respond a couple times a day minimum, as that's usually what you can expect from me. Communication is preferred, if you're gonna be busy just let me know. I will not write with anyone below the age of 22.
I love urban fantasy and high/medieval fantasy but even just having Magical elements in SoL roleplays is awesome. Recently got curious about pulp science fiction. Currently, I only have a few ideas that really excites me. I'll list them below. I love romance, drama, and a lot of angst. I love the gut wrenching, hard to not cry topics as much as the blushing romance so I need that variety. I like to feel like I'm there, ya know? I'm also okay with NSFW themes, so long as it doesn't fully take over the roleplay.
I definitely prefer quality over quantity so a well written one liner is 10x more preferred than a forced novella. I always struggle when partners offer 6-7 paragraphs jam-packed with action and new information because almost always there is something in that first paragraph that, realistically, my character would have responded to, but by the end of the message so much more has happened that it is impossible to respond to while still making sense.
Pulp Science Fiction: Space pirate smuggling a strange high end artificial intelligence robot and being chased down occasionally by the galactic empire. I will be playing the robot, it will likely be an annoying robot bothering me to friendship to lovers type, ending in the pirate keeping said robot.
Matriarchal Arranged Marriage: In a society in which men are judged for their worth by their strength and ability to fight, your character is a lady of high standing seeking out a husband to return with her to her town. She comes to Nurn with that intention, to find the perfect husband that behaves and looks nice on her arm. My character is a masculine, strong man living in a town with exceptionally strict views on men, somehow still not yet married.
I will be asking for a writing sample, I'll be providing one as well!
I know this was kind of long, but I appreciate you taking the time to read it. If you would like to talk some more, feel free to message me here and if we click we can talk on discord.
