Monster Monday reel was too large to post, so you'll have to check it out at the link instead! This week, Scoria, a volcanic-inspired giant land tortoise with a mean bite. Available for D&D 5e and Heliosail, as always: www.patreon.com/posts/monste... #TTRPG #DnD #HeliosailGame #SciFi #Fantasy
This week's critter: Riftia! Based on the deep sea tubeworms. Did you know they weren't discovered until the 1970s? It's amazing. Grab the stat block for these little environmental terrors for Heliosail or 5e: www.patreon.com/posts/monste... #DnD #TTRPG #HeliosailGame #SciFi #StatBlock #MarineLife
Great Anemones are deadly to divers. Luckily they aren't in places that are easily found by tourists visiting Ganymede... right? Get the stat block for these goliaths here, and devour your players today! www.patreon.com/posts/monste... #TTRPG #MarineLife #SciFi #SpeculativeBiology #StatBlock
Monster Monday: Giant Remipede! No video this week, (I was struck with a migraine) so please enjoy some of the public domain artwork I had planned to include! Giant Remipedes are great leviathans of Ganymede's ocean trenches. You can get the full stat block here: www.patreon.com/posts/monste...
White-Gold Eels use complex patterns of light from their bodies and reflective skin to communicate. Also they have big freaky teeth. You can get the full stat block for the White-Gold Eels on my Patreon: www.patreon.com/posts/monste... #TTRPG #MonsterMonday #SciFi #IndieRPG #SpeculativeBiology
First monster of the new year! We're kicking off the year with an aquatic theme, discovering all the different creatures in Ganymede's oceans. You can get the stat blocks for the Kura Shark and a swarm of hatchlings here: www.patreon.com/posts/monste... #TTRPG #SciFi #Ganymede #MarineLife
Let's talk about Trapdoor Spiders! These gigantic arachnids are ambushed predators, rumored to have escaped from a lab. Read the full lore here: www.patreon.com/posts/monste... - #MonsterMonday #TTRPG #StatBlock #SciFi #Spider
This week for Monster Monday we've put together a collection of (mostly) harmless animals. You can tame and train animals in Heliosail, so grab the stat blocks for free and try it out! www.patreon.com/posts/144689... #TTRPG #Animals #StatBlock #MonsterMonday
Heliosail has gone into Late Pledge! This is an opportunity to snag a copy of the game if you missed the original campaign. We've also added a couple new adventures as add-ons, written by guest writers Dunadd and Adam C. gamefound.com/en/projects/... #TTRPG #SciFi #AdventureModule
Harpy Fire are wisps of solar radiation that seem to take on minds of their own. They are associated with dangerous storms and can wreck a ship’s electrical systems. Harpy Fire is the first enemy released for ship to ship battles. Get a new stat block every Monday: www.patreon.com/Heliosail?ut...
Monster Monday: Cactoriums! These alien cacti can be quite territorial. When standing still, they are indistinguishable from an ordinary plant. We post a new creature for your Heliosail games every Monday! #MonsterMonday #HeliosailGame #TTRPG #IndieRPG #StatBlocks #Cactus
Monster Monday: Turrets are automated defenses, often mounted on the wall or ceiling. They can operate in emergency power conditions, in a vacuum, or under high pressure. #MonsterMonday #HeliosailGame #TTRPG #SciFi #IndieRPG
Heliosail is FULLY FUNDED! 🎉 Thank you so much to everyone who helped along the way! We still have about twenty four hours left if you want a chance to back this project and get a copy for yourself!
Demoralize is a great example of an offensive ability that doesn't require wielding any weapons. You can simply broadcast to the enemy ship, and attempt to turn their crew against them. Don't underestimate the power of propaganda! -Quinn
Monster Monday: Psiren Monarchs! "Monarchs" are old, experienced psirens who leads their family or clan. They are formidable enemies, with a lifetime of experience, and legions of loyal underlings. Back Heliosail on Gamefound through Nov. 13th: gamefound.com/en/projects/...
Don't trust that suspicious looking plant? Looking for a quiet way to get rid of a troublesome foe, but short on poisons? Venomous Eye lets you size up the local flora to suit your roleplaying needs, and all without having to make a skill check! - Finny #TTRPG #IndieRPG #HeliosailGame #Solarpunk
Stash is an essential Trick for a crafter on the go. I'm planning a video in the future that will cover how the crafting system works in detail, but in a nutshell, this Trick allows you keep making progress on your projects even when you are on a long journey in space. -Quinn
Monster Monday: Sentries! Sentries are bipedal drones used extensively by private companies for basic and routine security. They have limited language capacity, and are less sophisticated than anthroparians. Back Heliosail now on Gamefound: gamefound.com/en/projects/...
What I think is fun about Web of Lies is that it builds up fast momentum. It's very "high risk, high reward." It makes it easier and easier to keep lying, but the deeper you get, the more dangerous failure becomes. This is a Trick that could carry someone through an entire adventure. -Quinn
Amazing what happens when your cat thinks you're not looking... Music is "Well This is Awkward" by Steven O'Brian, CC-BY. #Cats #CuteAnimals #FunnyAnimals
Medical Specialty is the pinnacle Trick for the Medicine skill. As a capstone it gives you incredible power, with each specialty feeling very distinct from the others. This is one of the capstone Tricks I am most proud of. -Quinn #TTRPG #IndieRPG #HeliosailGame #Medicine #Solarpunk #SciFi
I building my own world ☀️🌱🌺🪐 Hopeful pulp adventure with gilded buildings and zoomorphic spaceships. QRP with your world.
Heliosail has plenty of Tricks that help in combat, but it also has a lot meant to help you solve problems in a less confrontational way. Nondescript is potentially very powerful. #TTRPG #Solarpunk #IndieRPG #HeliosailGame
Echoes appear like ghosts, but they aren't dead- they are people being glimpsed through time. Enjoy this belated Monster Monday. Happy Halloween! Music is "The Long Dark" courtesy of Scott Buckley, CC-BY. #HeliosailGame #Ghosts #Spiritualism #haunting #Halloween #indieRPG #ttrpg
