I've gotten a bit stuck on mine as well. I've published the rubbish I've made so far but admittedly it's far from complete. Extended deadline could be nice. Glad people are still working on this 😊. I bet you all are making some epic realms.
I've tentatively published Bog of the Worm Queen under an "Early Access" (broken) status. It's at a point where most of the points are decently fleshed out, but a lot that's unplaytested and the final (secret) area is missing. As a busy parent, I've realized it would be nice to have some help doing this.
I just wanted to say that this has some of the most exciting character classes I've seen in a game. I loved how they are each categorized into what kind of play style they are for. That's super helpful for new players.
My test for most systems I encounter now is, "Can you play as a Fairy witch riding a wolf?" (my wife's character she came up with), and I think this is the system that seems the easiest to find something comparable.
I also like the Druid one, which I usually play in DnD 5e, so that gave me hope that I could have a not OP version of that class in an OSR game. Tempted to try running this now that the OGL drama is in full swing.
Edit: Also, I love the death system. This is a great way to let players choose between "death makes a good story" and "I want to live forever!"
Yeah this is really fun. I’ve played around with a ranged weapon but couldn’t think of a way to not make it OP. I think your “focus” could be a good way to balance it. I think it encourages the right kind of play, namely using it sparingly and in conjunction with a melee weapon. Reminds me of how I play hyper light drifter.
They are super interesting, I've been studying them a bunch, and there's so much rich history and ecosystems. Plus, they're creepy, which is just fun.
I'm too invested in my project so far, so I've got the sunken cost fallacy to motivate me to finish anyway 🙃, but I appreciate your motivation. Despite my previous comment, our projects are pretty different, besides a decent amount of overlap with the animals. I think I can change up a few of those and be good.
My son really loves robots and Mechs, these random tables are super useful to help define cool robots and aliens that come but also the pilots themselves. Highly recommend for basically some pocket change 😎
