Ran a one-shot of #Numenera today. It was fun, but I always find the deep lore of the setting a little tough.
I understand it's not necessary to use the lore, and I can set my game in a wholly unexplored region of the Ninth World, but I still find its presence in the book a bit weighty.
I think I prefer the looser world building of something like Vaults of Vaarn, a somewhat less detailed science fantasy world. There's quite a bit less detail, more a mood than an atlas.
I've considered just using Numenera/Cypher rules in a #VaultsOfVaarn setting.

Exploring more science-fantasy in strange worlds. Inspired by #UVG and #VaultsOfVaarn. In a #risograph style.

All ten Vaarn characters timelapse.
(I forgot to turn off the timelapse option, so here is as a treat!)
-
Vaults of Vaarn random characters:
Cairngorn, a huge Lithling that came to learn about the rains in the Vaarn desert. Something that, to be fair, leaves them with a LOT of free time to do other things.
#TTRPG #art #VaultsofVaarn -
Vaults of Vaarn random characters:
Tarvi, son of a Planeyfolk couple, trying to adapt to a 3D environment, making him seem as imposing and burly as possible. Too bad he stretched his face too much and now looks blurry!
#TTRPG #art #VaultsofVaarn -
Vaults of Vaarn random characters:
Domino, a Cacklemaw exiled from her pack, with nothing but oily rags, for ignoring her boss orders and drowning a prisoner in water. She still laughs until out of breath thinking about it. It was totally worth it.
#TTRPG #art #VaultsofVaarn -
Vaults of Vaarn random characters:
Caroum, the ex-enslaved Faa Nomad, tattooed by the Hegemony, but now free and enjoying himself drinking as much water as he wants, but the nightmares remains.
#TTRPG #art #VaultsofVaarn -
Vaults of Vaarn random characters:
Purpleberk, before being reborn as a Mycomorph, was for a very shot time a pre-teenager wasteland bandit before eating something and dying. His melancholy still clinging, but life finds its way! Like the poisonous mushroom he ate!
#TTRPG #art #VaultsofVaarn -
Vaults of Vaarn random characters:
Wintercup, the sinuous and mellow Neobloom offering one of her healing fruits, a pray carved in her back for those who can take a peek under her white foliage.
Don't get fooled by her flower-mouth, her voice comes from her neck pod.
#TTRPG #art #VaultsofVaarn -
Vaults of Vaarn random characters:
Holk! What a diva! She is a Neobeast with a rusty colored fur and a attitude*! Nobody suspects she is a Neobeast thanks to her handy human-mask-on-a-stick.
CAW
*And a pug, a genetic catastrophe, to enhance her beauty.

Vaults of Vaarn random characters:
Mneme, the old medical service synth in search of the spark of divinity that humankind hides.
And you know what? They have a cool holo-skull for head!
#TTRPG #art #VaultsofVaarn -
Vaults of Vaarn random characters:
Doss, the chameleonic cacogen gladiator. Raised strictly from a young age, she escaped her fate in the arena after a saddening experience she would not talk about.
#TTRPG #art #VaultsofVaarn -
I rolled several Vaults of Vaarn random characters, one for each ancestry.
Here is the first one:
Leif, a bloated & colorful true-kin who was part of the Optimate caste (administrators), maybe it was because of his bashful personality or his octarine eyes, but now he is on his own, exiled from his arcology in the deserts of Vaarn.

I've been pretty remiss with blogging about my #dungeon23 but I am STILL GOING.
Here is the latest post, from week 20 - the little dungeon of calm (for #vaultsofvaarn) https://daisychase.net/blog/2023/09/06/dungeon23-week-20-little-dungeon-of-calm/
-
Actually finished the Little Dungeon of Calm early, did it yesterday. I did it for #VaultsOfVaarn as the last resting place of an autarch kept alive at the very brink of death.
I picked up a short zine called the Elegant Fantasy Dungeon Generator, so I'm going to try that out for next week. I do have #TomeOfAdventureDesign but tbh the pdf version is pretty hard to use and I don't want to lug the book to the pub where I do my #dungeon23.
-
So far with #dungeon23 I have refrained from writing any system-related notes whatsoever. I sometimes write with a _setting_ in mind - I've done #starfinder and #vaultsofvaarn for instance - but normally it's generic fantasy or maybe just weird (eg a train carriage).
This is intentional. I no longer want to run systems which need more than 3-4 numbers to describe a thing, and also I have no idea what if anything I might play these with. Statting things would be a waste of space and time.

Just got the deluxe edition of Vaults of Vaarn, the OSR science fantasy / Dying Earth / Moebius-influenced RPG.
I already owned the original three zines, but it's nice to have them all in one nice hardbound edition. There's also some additional material.
Might be my next campaign game.
-
I started doing the map for #dungeon23 week 16 in blue because it's for #VaultsOfVaarn and, well, looks like I might have to buy some blue pigment liners I guess, because this looks nice but the ink takes too long to dry from this Uni-Ball Eye. Not that one can have too many pens.
-
Loot post: while I was out, my hardback copy of the #VaultsOfVaarn #ttrpg came. It sells out very quickly whenever there's a new print run so as soon as there were some in stock I got one. It's blue because Vaarn is canonically a big desert of blue sand.
The SRD is at https://vaarn.github.io/ but this is a really nice book, with the addition of extra zine content. I always find it easier to grok a game if I can physically read it.

@Ricciotto Io ti consiglio “Dungeon World” oppure “On Mighty Thews”, entrambi editi in italiano, ma non disponibili gratuitamente.
Se, invece, cerchi qualcosa di OSR e gratis, ti consiglierei di andare su “Cairn” o su “Vaults of Vaarn”.
