MORPHINE. ADMINISTERED.//

Some art I did of the character Ophelia Sin'Claire, for the half life mod I'm working on!

It's visually stunning, obviously, which had me captivated from the beginning; then I got through some of the cutscenes, and I absolutely love the storyline tooo

(Also, the story for Jacob's whole region is sick; it's the only region I've really played in so far, but the trials and everything are so cool.)

The People's Revolution has been stolen! The Revolutionary Council of Kyneburgh is corrupt! Was it the influence of those dead nobles, the allure of treasures and wealth, or dark and vile magics? Whatever the cause the people starve and riot, and the rich hide in their towers and send their bailiffs to beat us.

We must climb to the top of the city and root out the evil once more! We must burn down their spires!

Fire in the Spires is a single player dungeon climber ttrpg. It's my follow-up/sequel to A Torch in the Dark. It's a story of how revolutions are stolen, twisted, and spit back in the face of those who need them.

A Torch in the Dark is one of my first games, and to this day one of my most popular. I've never done a sequel before, but I've had this idea for a while now, and wanted to give folks who loved Torch more lore, more ways to play, and more gruesome and wretched rich people to kill.

Fire in the Spires uses the Forged in the Dark rules system, splitting game play into two phases: climbs and downtime. In climbs you assemble a crew of rebels each with a single unique trait. You combine these traits together with spire modifiers and encounter complications to build a die pool, which determines if your crew will ascend, or be weighed down by stress and damage.

When your climb is done, you return to the streets, cross days of the new People's Calendar, and do your best to recover and recruit before your next climb.

Fire in the Spires is a standalone sequel. You don't need to have read or played Torch to get it. But if you'd rather take your favourite delver through five new dungeons and hundreds of new encounters, you can. I'll be including instructions about how to mash the two games together, if you want to treat Fire in the Spires as more like an expansion.

Also, if you missed your chance to get a printed copy of A Torch in the Dark, I'm doing a rare second printing. You can get digital copies as an add-on, or back at certain tiers to get the physical copy.

Check it out on Kickstarter now. Spread the word. Tell your allies. Scream it at your enemies.
