Yesterday, first time running Cairn. We had limited time to play but the experience was really different to "other" fantasy RPGs. No combat, but plenty of interesting encounters including with an invisible woodland spirit. Without an impetus to fight everything that moves there was much more desire to lean into the fiction. Looking forward to playing more. #TTRPG #Cairn #CairnRPG

This weekend we have a whole day of in-person RPG action starting with a Savage Worlds one-shot set in an arctic research station in Northern Alaska. This will be followed by a Cairn one-shot run by me. First time running and playing Cairn but I'm really looking forward to it! #TTRPG #SWADE #SavageWorlds #Cairn #CairnRPG

My ideal TTRPG “go-bag” would be a box set with:

• Enough player facing rulebooks for 4 players
• A Referee facing rulebook (preferably coil-bound)
• Character sheets and Inventory tokens
• Pencils, sharpener, and at least 2 set of polyhedral dice
• A Referee’s screen and/or grid mat with markers
• If space allows, a notebook/journal

My custom Cairn boxset has almost all of this. Just need tokens really.

What would your TTRPG go box/kit have?

Just using the hacks of #Cairnrpg I would put:

High: Wilderlands
Low: Cairn
Superhero: probably just go with 5e here
Sword and Sorcery: Distant Lands
Science Fantasy: Into the Odd
Weird West: We Deal in Lead
Gothic Horror: Fulgar
Cozy: Mausritter

Cairn 2nd Edition als Box - ich mochte die Einzelbände, aber so als kleine, dicke, schwere Box mit dem SL-Schirm musste ich es einfach noch viel mehr haben. Das Spiel ist mit seinem erdigen, düsteren Stil sehr in meiner Ecke. Das großartige Artwork hilft natürlich enorm.

I decided to build my own Cairn boxset that contains everything I need to run a game. I took my old 5e Starter Set box (Lost Mine of Phandelver version) and put in the following:

• 3 staple-bound copies of Cairn Barebones edition
• Coil-bound copies of the 2nd Edition Player’s and Warden’s books
• Dice bag with stones and multiple polyhedral dice sets
• Character Sheets
• Pencils, markers and a pencil sharpener

All I need is to print out adventures and inventory tokens.

In the meantime, I am finishing up preparing to run The Valley of Flowers post-Arthurian apocalypse campaign using @yochaigal's Cairn 2e role playing game.

We did character creation the other day and these last few chapters of Flowers have blown me away with all the strange and fantastical elements that my family is going to get to interact with. It's going to be a lot of fun and I can't wait to get started.

I started a thread on the RPG Cauldron Discourse forums to create a d100 table of magic rings for the Cairn RPG.

Check it out and contribute a cool ring of your own.

I am reading through the updated spellbook descriptions in the Cairn 2e #ttrpg. Each spellbound has a description or "personality" and some of them are just as useful or interesting as the spellbooks themselves.

For instance, the Leap spellbook. It let's you jump up to 10 feet, once. Its descriptions states "when thrown, it just keeps going." That could lead to some interesting in-game effects and problem solving.

I had a physical copy of the Liminal Horror Investigators printed at Staples. I am pretty happy with the end result. I'll pick up a copy the Liminal Horror Deluxe once it is in print in 2026.

From my brief flip thru, the game looks great. I am already a big fan of the Cairn system and this looks like a serviceable horror drift of the system.

The excellent Mystery Quest actual play podcast using Liminal finally made me take a look. It was very spooky.

My #Cairn 2e #ttrpg books arrived from Lulu. One of the Warden's Guides -- not pictured -- got mangled in transit, but everything else was just fine. The coul bound copies are great because they lay flat on the table.

I am consistently impressed with the quality of Lulu's print on demand books.

We have enough copies in the house that all three of my kids and I can now run the game for family and friends. I'm looking forward to it.
