It's been a long time since I've entered the space of TTRPGs, mostly as just a player, a game master and a watcher. I've read countless systems, settings and games through the years, some that I've found good, some that I've found bad, and even though I'm mostly known by friends and family as the "homebrew guy", I've never had the confidence in any idea to really try my luck publishing one myself.

That is, until now.

After years of good and bad experiences both as a player, master and game designer, and with some actual projects under my belt outside of the tabletop culture, I think I'm finally ready to do it now, to finally show the world a game I'm proud to make and that I'm sure that people will AT LEAST find interesting to read, play and muse about.

I've come to name it, tentatively, as "Belly of the Beast RPG", but that is subject to change.

The setting is silly, a lightless world inside a giant frog-god where hillbillies and witches do whatever strikers their fancy, where moonshine grants people magical powers, and where ancient convenience machines lay scattered across the land, granting the ones with the appropriate coins rare artifacts and trinkets to better explore the depths of this eerie-cozy world.

For the system, I've had an ambitious idea, one I've not seen anyone having before (focus on the "seen", as maybe I'm just that blind and it's been made and remade time and time again): An "Action-Focused System", but not in a sense that it is focused on dynamic actions and fluid combat (even if I also do envision that), but a system without Attributes, Skills, and Equipments with their own distinct characteristics, but a system focused on which actions players can utilize during combat and non-combat situations, and how skills and equipments change and interact with said actions.

It'll probably be a long journey, as I've said before that I actually have no experience with publishing TTRPG systems for the greater public, but I'm hopeful that I can do a good amateurish job, and that maybe people will take interest and help along the way. And if you're one those people, please, let me know. With time, I'll have a lot to tell you about this strange little place inside the gut of a toad.
