(do hashtags work here? #DysonSpells )

Including 2 new playbooks, as well as the game's design pillars (Agendas / Principles)! Maybe I should have started there, but oh well.

Alright, new devlog for Dyson Spells!
fay-of-fiction.itch.io/dyson-spells...

This is a high fantasy / space opera PbtA tabletop RPG about exploration that I'm working on. Generic, I know, but I never found one like it, so I've decided to make it instead!

I'll post updates every Sundays.
