Emmet is SO close to hitting his next stretch goal, which will add a new subclass for each class in the book! Let's give him a hand and get the word out there! I also have selfish reasons for sharing because I need the Doomspeaker subclass for the Storyteller 'coz it sounds metal as hell 🤘

Crap, I've just come across a new mechanic I'm going to shoe-horn into every game I GM now.
Cross-checks - roll two skills, take the higher/lower and the result will be flavoured accordingly e.g. sussing out the vibe of a forest, roll nature/survival.

If you're heading to @athventurecon.bsky.social, come play Sine with me - a wonderfully intriguing and action-packed system about alien invasions and human resistance.
Get Offa My Planet is a Sine RPG game run by GM Ben, bsky.app/profile/benj..., who you may know from wonderful Homebrew podcast series!
It's a playtest of a brand new system (developed by Ben's mates Julian and Jason) so it's your chance to be among the very first to try out something totally new!
