As much as I love TSOR 1E, not least of all for how delightfully primitive it is, it also sold like garbage. Which I would expect for a pay-what-you-want 1 page RPG, but still. So here's the game for free, along w/ the cover art we obviously never used. Enjoy!

ive seen more articles this week about how the phrase “abolish ice” could hurt dems in the midterms than ive seen articles about how paramilitary death squads terrorizing cities will hurt republicans in the midterms

Tbh, some personal stuff and hitting one snag after another has completely killed my interest in working on my game, or tabletop stuff in general for rn. That said, Character Creation, Underworld Exploration, Magic, and Combat are all at some state of readiness

I've switched tacks to more of a spiritual successor to TSOR. In DYVR (pronounced "Diver"), you will be able to traverse dungeons as a character with a high degree of customization in character creation. This includes skills instead of stats, such as Blade or Conjuration

Also... low-key, I think TSOR 2E wasn't a good idea. Revamping a one-page tabletop game was *guaranteed* to get away from me. I am instead going to work on-and-off on my other project that was already meant to be a follow-up to TSOR- at least until I sort out some personal stuff. So stick around🤘

Bit of a random idea that hit me, but I thought a cool game idea could be Battlefront, but in the DooM universe. Like playing as UAC/Night Sentinels V Demonic Hordes fighting over objectives in solo matches and especially PVP. I just like the concept

TSOR 2E's list of Professions has been expanded from 12 to 36. It's heavily based on Knave 2E's Careers system- starting proficiencies and 3 pieces of starting equipment- but TSOR doesn't assume your pc is an adventurer. You can also be just some guy who does this or that in the town

Here's the first test of TSOR 2E's official character sheet. Despite how beefed up character creation is in this, I marketed 1E on it being so light that you just needed an index card. I'm sticking to my guns on that

For the whopping 5 people excited for TSOR 2E news, it's going to revolve around the D12 instead of the D6. D12 is better at fractions and percentages
