This is extremely messy, but a quick job to just change the font style really fast. Lots of things dont quite line up, but its a start if this helps. I'll go through later and fix it up, and add it to the store links.

i suppose i could make a version with a 'normal' font. Technically should only take a few seconds as i modify the styling, but its likely to mess up all the orientation/formatting of the document. I'll look into that later, thanks for the feedback!
i used aseprite to make all the art; I also tended to limit my color palette to era-appropriate colors, though i moved between different color palette limitations on some parts
Hey all! I've been working for the past year-and-a-half-ish on a TTRPG game in my spare time. I've finally decided to put it out there in the wild. The main reason for creating this is to flex creative and design muscles more than anything.
For a short synopsis, the game is inspired by 16-bit era video games and tries to pull off similar aesthetic choices. It's also inspired by things like warhammer 40k, D&D, space-themed movies and TV shows.
The Pendragon Nebula is a hot-spot for weird, psionic activity. The Mad King Artur attempts to clamp down on all the inhabitants of the solar system and enforce his will upon all his subjects, but his hold has been slipping in recent decades. Baronies, Cities, and even whole planets are in rebellion.
Play as a psionic wielding psi-knight, space adventurer, or ship's engineer, among other options!
It features heavy use of psionic powers, as well as a reasonably rich character progression system.
The entire system uses only D6's, which was a design constraint i wanted to put on myself.
It's completely free in a "pay what you want" fashion, and i would love to hear any thoughts and feedback, as well as your experience playing it!

Yeah, i'm actually traveling right now, so i'll take care of it when i get a chance later.
Edit: it is done
Not a bad idea; Someone with the power to do something should do something about that!
They also recently did a reprint of the first ~5 or so books in paperback. One of the neat things they did with the reprints is they've included dice rolls at the bottom of every page, so instead of needing to use dice, you can flip to a random page instead and use that as your roll.

I mean, that was essentially the point of the spell plague. It was just a cataclysm to explain why mechanics were so different due to 4e. It's basically like in comics when they want to reboot they do a big cataclysm to justify resetting
I use this site to turn things into tokens - https://rolladvantage.com/tokenstamp/
It takes whatever image you plop into it, so at that point you can turn anything you want into a token. As far as what to make the images with, I'm not entirely sure, since the ask is kinda vague. What are you looking for in the tokens?
Fyi, the author @slyflourish@ttrpg.network is known to hang out around here from time to time. He's also on mastodon as @slyflourish@chirp.enworld.org
As a DM, thinking on your toes has been invaluable. The ability to come up with ideas, explanations, and more on the fly has helped a lot at work in meetings when unexpected things come up.
there's actually great resources for getting started online. There's a site called start playing games dedicated to matching new people to a DM. Note that services like that cost money. There's also the virtual tabletop roll20 which has a group finder for you to find a game. It will have a mix of free and paid games. Alternatively, you can crowdsource that such as on r/lfg on reddit (unfortunately the LFGs here on lemmy don't seem to be active enough to find games), or through various discord servers, including the official D&D discord. Another that has reasonably active LFG type sections to try is the Fantasy grounds (another VTT) discord.
For in person play, you can also look in to local gaming stores that might run adventurer's league, which is the sort of 'official' play wizards of the coast sanctions at local stores and at conventions.
