#silt verses rpg

[angryducktimemachine]

Given that last (and first) session of our Silt Verses RPG Game ended with us sacrificing my guy only for us to decide we want to play again, I needed to create a new character to play! Her name's Vaani and as one might guess, she's a follower of the Saint Electric 👁️ I'm VERY excited to play her, although i miss Leech and Abe's dynamic terribly, I'm curious to see how Vaani and Abe will get along >:)

She has a cochlear implant on her right side that has a Saint Electric Prayer-Stamp on it. She's shown from the chest up, facing the right with lightning in the background. /End ID]

I'm playing the Silt Verses RPG with @angryducktimemachine and @dawnwalker and here's the amazing art that @silaaicha did for me of my character Abe Lyman. He's a rat bastard of a man who follows The Watcher in the Wings. He flirted and killed his way through our first game, and gave a monologue so powerful it stayed the hand of another god. He's awful and I love him.

Sadly, Ed's character Leech went off into the woods to appease the god causing problems, so his new character Vaani gets to put up with Abe now. She's going to have her hands full...

My friends and I also started playing this weekend and *also* chose The Cairn Maiden (Leech Teller) and The Watcher (Abe Lyman)! Our characters had such a great dynamic. I adore playing Abe, an overly dramatic bastard of a weasel-man. Sadly, even after Abe succeeded on his monologue roll, Leech fell under the sway of the god we were sent to deal with in order to relocate it. He will be missed, but what a fitting end. It was meant to be a one shot, but we are already making plans to play again.

Just want to say, me and my two friends have been playing and LOVING the silt verses RPG. They are playing as Mori Star (servant of the watcher in the wings) and Ether Ward (servant of the cairin maiden). It's a phenomenal time and I highly recommend it to everyone who likes ttrpgs!!!!

Ahh, awesome, thank you for playing and glad you're enjoying it!

From what I've seen, the Watcher in the Wings seems to be a real standout for players - I think the creators have done a fantastic job of transforming Hembry's relationship with his god into something that feels twisted, funny, and full of possibility in how they engage with the narrative.

Have you played The Silt Verses Roleplaying Game

By Gabriel Robinson & Jason Cordova

A game of folk horror & monstrous divinity.

From the drivethrurpg page: "In The Silt Verses RPG, you play Custodians, employees of the Bureau for the Investigation and Assimilation of Stray Deities. In a world with tens of thousands of gods, your job is to track down the forgotten and stray deities causing trouble in the community and… deal with them. Sometimes that means figuring out how a community can co-exist with the god, and sometimes that means eliminating the god's threat in a more extreme way. Regardless, you are a pawn within an uncaring system, and will eventually be the target of a conspiracy that will try to use your work for its own nefarious purposes."

3 americans trying convince our british gm that you can just buy dynamite and other explosives at the hardware store and so our characters should be allowed to just buy some dynamite to solve our problems

hooo ok that’s. 251.5 hours, or a little less than 10.5 days

i cannot coherently express how much i love this podcast, what a beautiful piece of art it is, how much the characters and world have gripped me, or how much the stories told so far have come to mean to me

[field-cryptobotanist]

And I just bought the silt verses and the old gods of Appalachia tabletop rpgs... I'm about to be insufferable in all honesty!

Introducing myself

Hey! So, I guess we're introducing ourselves! 👋 About me: I'm MxFelicitations (30s, they/them). My day job is in progressive politics. I'm a former professional DM for DnD 5E and currently have a side gig with Table It! A Micro RPG Podcast. I live in Minneapolis with my beloved partner of 14+ years and our two pets. 💻 Returning to Tumblr: I cut my teeth on LiveJournal and FanFiction.net, was on SA when Slenderman was invented, took a spin through Tumblr in the Superwholock glory days, and have an AO3 rap sheet a decade long. Returning to Tumblr as an elder millennial feels like returning to a beloved, filthy, chaotic drag bar you loved as a 20something to find it's become properly posh and upscale, and suddenly you're the old and out-of-place one! The older I get, the less I am into Fandoms™ as a rule; I prefer to simply engage and enjoy from a distance, refraining from putting people and properties on a pedestal. That being said, I might post about: 🎮 Video games: Horizon Zero Dawn/Forbidden West, God of War, Stardew Valley, ACNH, cozy games in general, weird indie shit like Night in the Woods and Kentucky Route Zero 🎲 Tabletop games and TTRPGs: DnD, Critical Role, TAZ, Dimension 20, Grant Howitt joints, MORK BORG, Hexingtide, Monsterhearts, L5R 🎙️ Podcasts: TAZ, Magnus Archives, The Silt Verses, Old Gods of Appalachia, MBMBAM 📚 Books: Tolkien, Stephen King, Neil Gaiman, Terry Pratchett, China Mieville, weird horror shit like Nick Cutter and House of Leaves, The Wicked and the Divine 📺 TV and Movies: This varies a lot! I'm a recovering Marvel fan so try not to take any TV or film property too seriously. I'm currently digging Game of Thrones/House of the Dragon, Our Flag Means Death, and Severance. Other stuff I love: 🎯 Traditional archery: I'm not very good, but do have a home archery range in my basement and use a lightweight Arc Rolan Snake. 🥾 Hiking: Again, I'm not very good, but I try to lay down some miles in the warmer months, especially in the Midwest. 🎒 Backpacking: I'm no ultralighter by any stretch, but my pack base weight is pretty low at this point and I enjoy primitive camping a lot. 🛻 Offroading: I have a 99 Jeep ZJ adventure rig, modified for offroading and taken on some wild trips (especially in southwest Colorado and Utah, especially Moab/Canyonlands). 🏳️‍🌈 A word on values: I'm trans, nonbinary, queer, and bisexual. I care a lot more about community identity and ethical alignment than I do about personal identity and litigation of labels. Truscum, transmedicalists, and TERFs are never welcome. I believe Black Lives Matter and maintain commitments which render me unfriendly to white supremacy, patriarchy, and capitalism. Let's see... what else? I'm an Aries, an INFJ, an Enneagram 6, use piercings and tattoos as self-care, and love oranges as a symbol of abundance. I think that's all the important stuff! Let's connect! 🧡🍊

Surely severing the electric power source from the polar research station will have no consequences whatsoever 👍

She's kneeling in the foreground of the picture in the darkness, the only light source being her CI which is glowing a cold blue and has a prayer mark of the Saint Electric on it. Behind her in the dark lurks a Saint - a once humanoid form with electric wires and cables sprouting from it's body. /End ID]

My friends @angryducktimemachine and @dawnwalker are deep, deep in the grips of the Silt Verses RPG. As part of playing the game, I wanted to develop a prayer marker for The Watcher in the Wings, the god my character Abe follows. I knew I wanted it to reflect three things: theater, birds, and the idea of being watched. I decided it would be very cool to make the prayer marker out of the symbols used for blocking, either ones that are taped onto the stage itself or on scripts to show how actors should be moving in a scene.

I started with a circle, to represent a theater in the round rather than a traditional stage. This type of staging means that actors are seen from all angels at all times they are on stage. Then I added the T, which indicates where an actor should stop or stand in a scene and it makes the circle look more like an eye. Arrows show where an actor should move, or when the arrow is bent like an L, where they should look. I've used the L more stylistically here to make up the top of the wings, but a follower of the Watcher is always moving and always looking for where their place in a scene should be. Finally, I added the <, which isn't regularly used, but indicates speaking. Perfect for a beak.

I really wish I had access to a stage so that I could actually mark it out in tape, but MS paint will have to do for now.

The Silt Verses RPG is out and I'm fucking psyched it rules

[thesiltverses]

The Silt Verses RPG has just launched from the acclaimed designers of Brindlewood Bay and The Between!

Investigate stray angels, strange haunts, and murderous cults in a world of gods and sacrifice as a disciple of the Saint Electric, Trawler-man, Watcher in the Wings, Cairn Maiden, Pox Martyr, or the Waxen Scrivener.

Delve into backwoods towns, floating markets where sacred relics are bought and sold, bustling clinics where medical 'miracles' come at a hideous cost - and even a towering skyscraper of conjoined steel, glass, and flesh.

You can purchase a copy over on DriveThruRPG, or at the Silt Verses or The Gauntlet Patreon, netting you the rulebook, 8 Assignments, 6 Faith Sheets, 8 Journey Sheets, and more.

This game really is a labour of love from a small team of innovative indie RPG creators, and already a genuine work of art (so we'd be incredibly grateful for your help in playing, giving feedback, and spreading the word far and wide) - we think it's an absolutely fantastic achievement, and we know The Gauntlet are only going to keep building and improving on the game from here.

You can find out more by joining The Gauntlet Discord.

back on my bullshit with my latest attempt at a map of the silt verses’ setting (now including some rpg and lorebook content!)

[hellofromthehallowoods]

Why did we make a Magnus Archives RPG and a Welcome to Night Vale RPG and an Old Gods of Appalachia RPG and a Silt Verses RPG and a (planned) Hallowoods RPG when we could have just done Welcome to the ForestTown Archives RPG: Eyes In The Dark Edition
