Recent commission of my Out of the Abyss character done by @julnites !

Her general concept is "Horse girl but for giant spiders"

[finalskies]

Sapphire Lollipop, kobold-ified for my latest dnd campaign, a Q'barra hexcrawl. The last time I retro-fitted one of my OCs for a ttg campaign worked out so well with Angel Byrd, I figured I'd try it again. After having Sapphire around for... gosh, like 10 years now(?) it's kinda surreal to actually be playing her.

She's using the new Beastheart class from MCDM, with her beast companion being Quillie the dinosaur. We haven't played too many sessions yet, but so far the Beastheart class seems really fun, 10/10 would recommend.

[kiss-dumbbunnies]

i'm starting to feel genuine distress that i don't have any concrete scripts for episodes of my series yet but at least i FINALLY came up with a name prototype

[unknowncreature19]

I wanna be loud and clear on this…

If you ever see any wanna make adoption for trading characters that you don’t or you’re just giving me characters without me, knowing. I’m gonna pick characters that are boys.

Q: why you choose boy characters?

A: answer as simple, I used to draw boys! I like draw boys. Oh my characters, except some.

Q: If you like to draw boys. Why the hell do you have a character named Emily, a girl train, and a girl puppet?

A: Emily and the puppet girl are original characters that I draw sometimes these days. The girl train it’s from adoption that we trade characters I was gonna just get the boy character of his but apparently she and him are twins, so I decided to take them. But like I said, have you seen any more characters in this? No! Most of the characters I draw are boys.

Before you gonna say anything about inkdrop. he’s also a boy, but he sometimes have pronouns like they and them!

I am not mad. I’m just saying loud and clear that I draw boys a lot. It’s pretty of me to draw girls. Unless it’s one of my friends characters that a girl I will easily just draw them. But from characters from my side, they are going to stay as boys unless pretty aware, I will draw girls. But don’t hope. You’re gonna see a lot of boy characters then then anything else

But if you don’t remember, don’t worry, I will remind you. just make sure to ask me first if I accept girl, characters, or boy characters

MCDM’s first original game, a new Heroic Fantasy RPG from the folks who brought you;

Strongholds & Followers

Kingdoms & Warfare

The Illrigger

The Beastheart

The Talent

Flee, Mortals!

Where Evil Lives

Comes a brand new game, built from the ground up to give you a better system for running a better game.

Xorannox, The Tyract Lord Syuul

A Fantasy RPG where your character starts, at level 1, already a hero. Maybe even locally famous! You might meet in a tavern, or start in the middle of the action! 

Whether you’re a group of local heroes sent to investigate mysterious goings-on in the nearby haunted wood, or famous mercenaries plotting and scheming in the big city, the MCDM RPG makes building adventures and fighting monsters fun.

Basically, any adventure or story you’re running in your current Fantasy RPG, you can do that in this game. Just, in a more straightforward and fun way, unburdened by sacred cows from the 1970s.

You can absolutely run epic games with heroes exploring dungeons, but this game is not about dungeoncrawling. You don’t track torches or rations or worry about running out of light.

You can plunge, heedless of danger, into a dark and haunted forest, but this game is not about exploration. No hexes to explore.

By focusing on the core fantasy of epic heroes fighting monsters and tyranny, we think we can deliver a better experience for your friends and your table.

Fighting monsters in this game is a dynamic, action-oriented blast. Heroes and monsters often have abilities that knock their opponents into walls, through doors, into each other. 

Every hero has a small array of cool, thematic abilities they can use every round. You gain resources in this game as you play, so battles get more epic as they go. No slog.

The game uses 2d6, plus a handful of d4s and d8s. When you attack, you roll 2d6, add one of your attributes, and that is how much damage you do. Your attack roll IS your damage roll. 

You cannot miss. No more wasted turns, no more burning resources on spells only for your target to “save.”

Lady Morgant Lord Saxton

We love fighting monsters! But there’s more to the game than that!

Certain NPCs can be negotiated with to get them to change their allegiance or reconsider their actions. (Technically, ANY npc can be negotiated with but there’s usually only one per adventure) These NPCs have stats like Patience and Interest. 

We also plan on rules for Research & Crafting to let players unlock ancient secrets and build wonderous marvels. 

We have ideas for how to make language fluency relevant, better rules for wealth, renown. But it’s unknown how much of that we can fit in a 400 page rulebook.

full resolution - What is this game?

full resolution - Building A Heroic Narrative

full resolution - Tactician

full resolution - Dwarves

full resolution - Revenants

full resolution - Forced Movement

full resolution - Kits

full resolution - Necromancer

We are funding two books!

Heroes Basically, The Rulebook. Approximately 400 pages of rules for making characters, character customization, advancement. There’ll be ancestries (classic and new!), classes, skills, rules for combat, negotiation, research & crafting, and more!

We really like customizing characters and giving players lots of options. Even two heroes of the same class and ancestry can be very different in this game.

Monsters A monster book! Basically, Flee, Mortals! without the Villain Parties or Environments. MOST of the monsters in our 5E monster book, plus all the stuff we had to cut, and a bunch of new stuff!

You’ll also get rules for building balanced (or deliberately unbalanced depending on how much trouble your players have gotten into) encounters.

We’ve been testing and developing this game internally for almost a year now, but that was just the folks at the office and our friends. The first packet went to our Contract Testers back in August and have been pounding on it ever since.

The game is already working and it’s already fun! For the next 18 months we’ll be adding more classes, ancestries, progression, customization, and rewards.

We take testing very seriously. We want to make books that are fun to read, full of great ideas for your world and your game, and fun to play and that takes time. Polish, iteration, and lots of testing.

You do not need to take our work for it, come to the Discord and talk to them directly, or join a future playtest.

We think we can get these two PDFs finished by June of 2025, but we don’t think you’ll have to wait that long to play it.

If things go well, we intend to get you, our backers, a playtest packet sometime next year, hopefully by Q2 2024. 

We intend to publish this game under an open license, probably something like the Shadowdark license, because we want you, and anyone who wants to, to make, share, publish their own work using these rules and set in this world.

We hope, by the time the PDF exists, folks will not only have been playing this game for months, they’ll be making, sharing, selling their own original works using this material.

Managed to snag an icon from the wonderful @redreart of my Baldur's Gate character just in time for launch. Meet Revas Blackthorn, a wood elf beastheart barbarian.

Thank you again for your amazing work 💙

in the middle of working on a big commission, I stopped to make my new DnD character. Game starts tomorrow so I just had to get it done!

Nodak Uvnar, Beastheart, with an owlbear companion named Havoc

[nbnbd]

What is character like in Baldur's Gate?

I've got two!!

Amadeus Wildbrow is a Beastheart Barbarian who takes the direct route. Speak with Animals is always active and they are a duergar folk hero but try to navigate the least violent solution before dirtying their hand. Lots of intimidation checks

My other is a Half Orc Fighter named Cravat who enjoys a gentlemanly game of smashing your face in with the biggest great sword they can carry. They are simpler, trying to keep their dps casters alive. Will reblog with pics later!

ive seen two (2) polls now that dont have bloodhunter and artificer, there’s probably more but i didnt think to check.
