For #Gobtober2023!

Day 19. So strategist would have been a bit of a toughy... If Nomnivore hadn't made the tactician!

Oops I made more art

Design details etc under the cut

This is it.

This is the coolest thing I've ever made: http://shorteststory.com/engine

// THE STORY ENGINE // is a deck of 150 cards that offer endless storytelling prompts for writers, DMs, GMs, role-players, gamers, and more.

Check out an up-and-coming RPG, Emberwind

Entirely unique in its combat and hero creation!

40,000+ combinations for the (currently) 8 classes

Moves, abilities, class-actions, and tide-turners (literally limit breaks) actually combo with each other, rather than the D&D idea of “these work together because they do something similar.”

New combat rules unique from other table-top role playing games

Non-combat role playing with its own unique spin!

A different way to role play, with cards instead of using dice (dice are still built into the game, but deck role playing is a new idea implemented to add a different layer of chance).

A campaign clock, for the players who take too much time

This past weekend at Ohayocon in Columbus, I had the privilege of meeting the creator, Derek, and his team. I heard all about the creative hell he’s been through and just how much heart he and his team have poured into the game.

I was also able to participate in a competition to have an encounter with one of the three bosses released, two of which have yet to be beat. The one we faced was the Bloodmother and her brood, a boss which had yet to be beat.

With 2 hours of painstakingly thorough character creation and three hours of combat, we prevailed with a no damage run! One of our players got hit, but there’s a defense system in the game which brought the damage dealt down to 0.

Lore, the Bestiary, assets such as the Hero and Foe creators, Foe and Hero pins, Role Playing cards, voice acting (for the established stories), and official music are all free on their website

I am so unbelievably thrilled to unveil Written in Dragonfire, the fantasy expansion for The Story Engine Kickstarter!

I've teamed up with EMBERWIND, a groundbreaking tabletop RPG with stunning visuals and a world-class art team, to bring you some truly eye-watering visuals.

These artists have worked on art for blockbuster movies, AAA video game titles, and tabletop classics like Dungeons & Dragons, Pathfinder, and Magic: The Gathering.
