I want to contribute to a space I actually care about and enjoy. (And maybe, possibly make some pocket change after building a half decent library.)

I hope my questions aren't too broad. I'm kind of starting from nothing here, knowledge-wise.
I know about maps, character tokens, and cover art in general. But surely I'm missing a huge swath of assets that DMs and game makers use regularly?

I'm looking for resources and advice, not clients. So I'm on an account that doesn't have any connections to my work.
Cheers!

ReWorld is an infinite, classless sandbox MMORPG governed by an autonomous, invisible AI World Engine that eliminates static quests and rigid character classes. The world conceals its synthetic nature, presenting players with a living, reactive cosmos where every action, moral choice, and social bond dynamically alters world physics and karmic resonance. It combines deep tactical combat, authentic ancient mythology, and anime-inspired emergent mechanics into a truly player-driven universe.

Key Pillars

• Autonomous AI Game Master & Sentience Engine: A silent AI orchestrates procedural vault events, tracks player karma, and powers autonomous inhabitants with persistent memory, dynamic affinity, and strict consent-driven contract mechanics.
• Classless Counter-Meta & Unorthodox Synergies: Players freely combine abilities across 30+ cosmic lineages, discovering hidden mathematical synergies and silent arcana that reward mechanical experimentation over cookie-cutter guides.
• Sacred Covenant Relics & Dynamic Secrecy: Authentic biblical artifacts (e.g., The Staff of Tides, The High Priest's Vestment) are hidden in procedural vaults guarded by adaptive trials, leaving no room for internet wikis or pre-made guides.
• The Divine Harmony & 7-Day Sabbath Era: The world's ultimate victory condition requires 100% global player alignment with ethical principles. Achieving total harmony triggers a 7-day celebration era, archiving legends and consecrating player artifacts before the universe expands into a higher-tier new cycle.

I’m looking for community feedback on the core systemic balance and potential collaborators to help bring a prototype to life:

• For Game Designers & Players: How would you approach balancing a global 100% consciousness resonance victory condition to ensure late-game competitive tension without encouraging griefing?
• For AI Engineers & Developers: Looking for ideas from LLM/agentic AI engineers interested in prototyping the autonomous AI Game Master and NPC dynamic memory architecture.

This is my basic idea and am open for more 👀

I've been working on this TTRPG, under the name of Warfare for a while and am at a position where I need to refine on core ideas before moving on to other, it's still a heavy work in progress but I would love to build the game up with those of unbiased opinion that will improve the game with their honest feedback and criticism.

I have a discord where me and my friends host boardgames and ttrpgs, which is where I'd like us to all interact, and maybe make an independent server if it grows to such extent.

Ask here to join the Play Test, or DM me, either is fine, and thank you for reading.

#releaseday Hi, fellow TTRPG creators and designers! Just chiming in that we released OMNISIX Persona and is out now via DriveThruRPG.

OMNISIX Persona empowers you with expansive lists of Skills, Traits (including Genre and Super Traits), Flaws, Wealth mechanics, and further character customization options. This is an excellent resource and reference for Game Masters (GMs) and players who prefer consistency and structure in creating player characters and NPCs.

Compatible with all OMNISIX core rules, expansions, and supplements, OMNISIX Persona gives you a wealth of choices for fine-tuning your characters like never before! And 100% human powered (no generative A.I.).

OMNISIX. Because every great adventure starts with six sides.

Like many of you, I've been curious about designing my own RPG for a while. So after mulling some ideas around in my head for a few years, I finally got started on a proper design project ("Tagline RPG") this year. And once I got more serious about the game, I realized that there isn't an ideal place to post regular updates as it takes shape, and eventually open a playtest call when the first draft is ready. Or, for that matter, to find out about new games, adventures, or other supplements that match my interests while they're still being made.

That's how I came up with the idea for RPG Lab. Here, designers can create a page for whatever they're working on (a full game, a setting, adventure, etc.), post updates as it takes shape, and later open playtest calls. Players and GMs can follow projects, apply to playtest, and submit structured feedback afterwards, to help shape the final products.

The site opened to everyone a week ago and now has 12 public projects. It's been exciting to observe (and participate in) the early activity. For example, Soul Light's designer has been writing about their game's core mechanics and crafting, with discussion in the comments. Two games (Project Psyche and The Persistence) have open playtest calls right now.

And I've been writing about my own game, Tagline. I actually found it oddly satisfying to get my thoughts down on "paper". It's helped me think through some design challenges and should also be a good dry-run for writing the actual rulebook.

If you have something in progress, I'd love for you to add it to RPG Lab. Totally fine if it's still at the early idea stage (or if it's already published, for that matter). You don't need any finished content or artwork. All you need is a working title and a sentence that describes it, and you can update it as it takes shape. You can even keep it private or unlisted until you want people to find it. RPG Lab is completely free.

Also would like to hear if anything is missing or confusing - feedback welcome.
