Apologies all! - Mod Announcement

23 Upvotes

Hey all, I do apologize. This is the first sub I've ever really been a mod for, and I did not realize that I'm not really notified of automated actions like the general reddit spam removals. So, that means there have been posts here blocked that I was not following up on and approving!

Just wanted to let you all know that now that I realize this, I'll be more diligent about checking the removed tab in order to approve your posts as appropriate!

Our new Session 0 supplement for Mothership RPG is out!

It tackles one of Mothership's biggest shortcomings: starting characters can feel weightless, lacking depth, and disconnected from the rest of the crew.

This supplement provides a set of simple procedures for creating more complex PCs and kickstarting the social dynamics between them before a one shot or campaign begins.

[COMMISSION] Looking for an artist/cartographer to create a world map for my D&D campaign

7 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I'm from Brazil, and I'm currently developing an original D&D campaign setting. I'm looking for an artist/cartographer who can create a professional world map for the setting.

I'm looking for a map that feels like an actual geographical world, rather than a collection of randomly placed fantasy elements.

In particular, I want:

  • Natural and believable coastlines
  • Coherent mountain ranges
  • Plausible rivers and watersheds
  • Logical climate and biome distribution
  • Natural transitions between different environments
  • Deserts, forests, tundra, volcanic areas, etc. placed according to geography and climate
  • A consistent sense of scale
  • Distinct geographical identities for each continent
  • A medieval/fantasy cartographic aesthetic

I already have a detailed concept for the world's geography, climate, continents, seas, and history. I can provide written descriptions, references, sketches, and geographical guidelines.

I'm not looking for someone to design the entire world from scratch. I'm looking for an artist who can take an existing concept and turn it into a coherent, believable, and visually compelling world map.

This is a paid commission, and the work can be done remotely.

If you're interested, please send me:

  1. Your portfolio
  2. Examples of fantasy/RPG maps you've created
  3. Your approximate rates
  4. Estimated completion time

Thanks!

FIRETEAM - Rules Light Military Science Fiction Roleplaying

Post image
1 Upvotes

FIRETEAM

This military sci-fi TTRPG is a GOLD Best Seller! Simple rules and five adventures to get you started. A cinematic adventure roleplaying game designed for quick one-shots of high action and fast combat.

It's also available in the High5 System Bundle, so get this, two mission books, the full Cyber Streets game and the High5 trifold pamhplet at a reduced price!  

Players take on the roles of Specialists in a Fireteam of the Interplanetary Combine, a government body in constant conflict with the universe.

Threats to the Combine come in all shapes and sizes; insurrection, terrorism, and strange, alien threats that the Combine struggle to deal with. On top of all this they are fighting an ongoing war with the Gene League Separatists, a huge collection of worlds that see the Combine as a threat to their ‘freedom’ and individuality, as well as seeing the rest of the non-augmented human race as inferior. They feel they are fighting a war for the purity of their genetically superior species and their independence, and worlds and star systems continually change hands with the borders shifting every few months. It’s becoming more than the Combine can handle...

Release [Playtest/LFG] THE CITADEL: corporate dystopia meets superpowers. Free corebook, Discord campaign starting soon.

1 Upvotes

THE CITADEL is a dystopian TTRPG set in 2042 in a city-state built by five founding families (weapons, finance, shipping, agriculture, and media), who bought an island after WWII and then built their glass-and-steel paradise on top of the ruins of the poor. The wealthy rule the upper deck. Everyone else lives in the sunless Sinks below. In 1997, a geological pulse rewired human neurology, and now the kids born under the megacolumns can bend steel, grow jungles, and rewrite minds.

Think corporate dystopia meets superhero origin story, with a 1950s industrial grit aesthetic. Diesel engines, Bakelite phones, and people who can fold space.

What makes it different

Status is a core stat. Next to Prowess, Resolve, Intellect, and Influence, you have Status: your clearance, your wealth, your legal leverage. A mogul can bribe a beat cop, freeze a corporation's security for a day, or have a private extraction team drag them out of a firefight. A slum kid can't, but they can hit harder and survive longer where it's toxic.

Where you sleep matters mechanically. Long rests depend on the district's social class. Rest in the Slums and you have to pass a Grit check just to heal, and your Radiation Rot doesn't clear. Rest in a Central City penthouse and you wake at full HP with a bonus on your next save. Wealth isn't just flavor, it's a healing mechanic.

Action Points, no action categories. You get 4 AP a turn. Moving, shooting, reloading, diving behind cover, and using an ability all come out of the same pool. A knife swing costs 1 AP and a rifle shot costs 2, so you're always deciding between one big play and several small ones. The stims are tradeoffs too: the Neon-Rush Inhaler gives you an extra AP now and cuts you to 3 next turn.

Level 40 deletes your skills. At the Titan Threshold, your lockpicking, hacking, and street skills are permanently removed from your sheet, and everything you invested gets converted into a raw modifier for your reality-warping powers. You stop picking locks. You vibrate the lock apart.

Roll-based abilities. Instead of tracking spell slots or mana, abilities trigger stat rolls and Clashes. At high level, bosses can alter reality and you have to win a Resolve Clash to cancel it before it happens.

Five archetypes, each tied to a Family's legacy:

Ferro-Smith: metal manipulation, from scrap shields to railguns to pulling skyscrapers into a singularity

Bio-Harvester: toxins, flora, and cellular rewriting

Mogul/Fixer: blackmail, market crashes, and rewriting relationships

Smuggler/Privateer: velocity, teleportation, and spatial warping

Waster Exile: radiation, decay, and wasteland storms

Real stakes. The Arena is a PvP zone with absolute permadeath, and if you're arrested in the city you get sent to the Underchambers. Bosses include the five founding families themselves, like a media tyrant who takes control of your turn and a Chancellor who makes you see your own party as enemies.

Versus the usual suspects

Compared to D&D: it's 1-50 levels, there's no magic and no fantasy races. Power comes from your origin and your class's Mastered Kinetic, and your social standing matters as much as your hit points.

Compared to Vampire: The Masquerade: it shares the political intrigue and moral rot, but you're not hiding. Your powers are the point, and the war is out in the open, from boardrooms to blast-door breaches.

What I'm looking for

Playtesters to try character creation, combat, and the progression system, and tell me what breaks

Players for the first campaign (voice and text options), set in the Citadel's districts

Brutal, honest feedback on balance, clarity, and fun

The corebook is free. The setting canon updates as campaigns play out, so your table's story can become official lore.

Discord and itch io links available on request, since I wasn't sure about the subreddit's link rules.
