More baby steps on gameplay in-depth slide deck. I have a party of 4 PCs for this "post-catastrophe sci-fantasy" game.

Baby-step progress in my character creation and gameplay in-depth slide deck.

Me hoping that people will make and/or play games with #PersonaeSRD #PersonaeRPG #ShadowlightRPG #ShadowlightAndPersonaeRPG is kind of like me inviting my friends over to play with my Kenner Star Wars Droid Factory playset.

I created a Craig Hatler Games Discord server for all things #TTRPG #PersonaeSRD #PersonaeRPG #ShadowlightRPG #ShadowlightAndPersonae. I'm not a "partner" apparently, so I can't have a static invite link, but if you search & friend me over there (tezrak) then I'll invite you.

Cunning <-> Obscurity (how hidden the truth of the mystery is)

Power <-> Protection (how guarded the mystery is, to maintain its legitimacy)

Knowledge <-> History (how long has the mystery been in existence for, how elaborate it is, how much information is related to bolster its relevance)

Stature <-> danger (or threat, the degree to which the mystery is capable of causing people harm)

#ttrpgcommunity #WIPWednesday #PersonaeSRD #PersonaeRPG #ShadowlightRPG #WhyPersonae #WhyShadowlight

If we go this route, then the mystery has attributes and traits the same way characters do, only the mystery is expressed in the abstract and exists outside the fiction.

Character stats <-> mystery stats

Competence <-> sway (people are drawn in by the story of the mystery)

Prowess <-> establishment (how concrete the details of the mystery are)

Originally I didn't have anything this week for #WIPWednesday, but the brain started sparking.

Building mysteries as identities in #ShadowlightAndPersonae

Since in #PersonaeSRD #PersonaeRPG, everything can be expressed as an identity, why not build the mystery of the session as one?

@Alphastream Thank you to the move by WotC that inspired the creation of #PersonaeSRD #PersonaeRPG #ShadowlightRPG #ShadowlightAndPersonae.

#TTRPG #FollowFriday A reminder that there is still a #PersonaeSRD #PersonaeRPG #ShadowlightRPG game jam going. #PersonaeShadowlightJam https://itch.io/jam/personaeshadowlight-game-jam

It initially ran last year, without much fanfare. I extended the deadline to September to coincide with Personae's submission to @lostguidegames ' mental health charity bundle. The Itch page has the updated logo, I guess it'll update here on Twitter soon.

#TTRPG #SelfPromoSaturday #PersonaeSRD #PersonaeRPG #ShadowlightRPG #WhyPersonae #WhyShadowlight Good afternoon friends & #ttrpgcommunity, please share/support! the campaign is ~65% funded from contributions both within the itch page & from without. Branding commission by
@GameGoddessAlx
is funded and fulfilled; pixel art by
@raul_volp
is funded and fulfilled. Phase 2 will fund commissions for cover and interior artwork.

#TTRPG #WIPWednesday #PersonaeSRD #PersonaeRPG #ShadowlightRPG #WhyPersonae #WhyShadowlight Would anyone be interested in getting together over Discord or similar to participate in a demo? I have two interested players already, and I'd be up for running for a minimum of 3, maximum of 5 players total.

@raul_volp 's character #pixelart put to work in my gameplay in depth slides!

#TTRPG #PersonaeSRD #PersonaeRPG #ShadowlightRPG #WhyPersonae #WhyShadowlight

Look at what just dropped today on @hessan_yongdi 's YouTube channel! Thank you for making this! Https://youtu.be/DTWnxvMkowY

Now I just need someone else to watch it 😳🫣😶‍🌫️

I can officially share this!
Allie with https://www.atgstudiosgraphics.com/ did an AMAZING job on my shiny new logos for Craig Hatler Games and #PersonaeSRD #PersonaeRPG, and a refresh/vector trace of the Shadowlight logo!

#TTRPG #MotivationMonday #PersonaeSRD #PersonaeSRD #PersonaeRPG #ShadowlightRPG

A Potential 1 example character for Covenant. Packed all the way to the margins even after trimming the automatic skill descriptions; I guess I'd have to mention somewhere how everyone would have to come up with their own talents if I go this route.

Goofing off, part 5. Maybe at this point it's no longer goofing off though; maybe it's starting to look like something.

#TTRPG #PersonaeSRD #PersonaeRPG #ShadowlightRPG #WhyPersonae #WhyShadowlight

A tremendously generous contribution from an old friend now puts us over the 50% mark for a total of 64% funded ($1,271/$2000, $270 of which was provided outside of the Itchfunding campaign)!

Good morning friends & #ttrpgcommunity, please share/support! I've commissioned @raul_volp for pixel art & @GameGoddessAlx for branding thus far, with illustrations to come next.

Received the last set of pixel art I commissioned from

Last night: Got the Tuesday Zoom group back together last night with a quorum of 3 to keep going with more shenanigans in space! Some pirates with a gravity well generator gambled against the "Baleful Bunch" :winkwink: & lost!

This morning is that both encounters I ran last night were boring as shit, just exchanging multiple rounds of PCs shooting at NPCs, and how I can make it better/more meaningful.

PWYW, complete, fully open under a CC license. V2 will have even more to offer; complete "official" book product eagerly anticipated in 2023!

#PersonaeSRD #PersonaeRPG and #ShadowlightRPG are released under http://creativecommons.org . Whatever comes of the OGL, they'll always provide rewarding #TTRPG experiences for players and GMs no matter what.

The version available on my Itch page, craighatler.itch.io, v1, is fully playable in its current state, but v2--coming soon--will provide more resources for both players and GMs, as well as clarify mechanics.

#TTRPGRising #WhyPersonae #WhyShadowlight

#TTRPG #PersonaeSRD #PersonaeRPG #WhyPersonae #Shadowlight #ShadowlightRPG #WhyShadowlight

My takeaway: it made me think I want to focus on a couple of things: (1) figuring out how to help players better understand the relationship between attributes & traits, and (2) what I need to do to come up with better GM resources to provide "on the fly" opposition that wasn't necessarily prepped in advance. Whether that's stock NPCs, or something else.

Yesterday morning I ran session #1 of "How the West Was Weird" for three lovely folks over on the Trauma Bond Studios / Lost Guide Games Twitch channel. Here's the replay!
