Unapologetic in my desire to make TTRPGs I want to play.

You can find the stuff I make at cacklingwyrm.com
In about 8h I will be running some The Scorched Banner games at a local convention. When did I start printing the pregens?

4 am.

When did the printer run out of clean sheets?

Was playing some mtg at a local friendly gameshop, when my opponent suddenly started cultivating their island right in front of me. I am appalled.

Oh hey, a new version of my ttrpg The Scorched Banner is out! You can read more about it here: imbamarines.itch.io/the-scorched...
TSB v0.15 is out!
TL;DR: Inventory system was added and combat has been rebalanced. Same core, but more ways to express yourself as a Hero. Would you believe it, an entire year has passed since the last devlog! So what...

Whomever decided to run a playtest of The Scorched Banner with randoms on the first week of work after a long hiatus was:
a) lacking foresight
b) overly ambitious
c) me
d) all of the above

So the playtests went reasonably well. Given two groups of people that barely read the rules, explaining the core for roleplaying and combat took about 30 minutes total.

Even players with just one-two TTRPG sessions under their belt are able to grasp the basics.
I am about to run another playtest for the Scorched Banner this Saturday.

A positive? One of the playtesters is asking good questions about the system.

The downside? You can see that the fella sees everything through the 5e lense, which causes much confusion to him.

Guess who just posted an update to his TTRPG?
It was me, Barry. I posted a new version of the Scorched Banner all the way at imbamarines.itch.io/the-scorched...

The TTRPG finally has some RPG in it.
And finally has a pretty title page.
