Arrhenius (Out now!)
@arrhenius
He/Him. Official Bluesky account for Arrhenius, the #ttrpg set 100,000 years in the future during the next Ice Age. Available now!
If you see this, post a monster. This is a giganath. It lives in giant subterrean lakes. Its poop is harvested by enterprising dorrem for sale on the black market due to its psychotropic qualities. Wonderful art by @kayas-kosmos.bsky.social
It's 1000º outside. To cool off, you should play a game about the next Ice Age. jesseharlin.itch.io/arrhenius
5. Toof: Toof was a half-giant with a serious history of traumatic brain injury. Half of his skull was missing. As a result of his injury, Toof was convinced he was the tooth fairy and would roam the world, his sack of teeth in tow. If he saw you had bad dental hygene, Toof would beat you to death.
4. Fungus: When I was part of 5e D&D's playtesting, I played a halfling rogue named Fungus. Fungus was disgusting, crude, and anti-social. Fungus lived in sewers that were so damp that mushrooms were growing on Fungus' clothes. Fungus was also a coward who only spoke in 3rd person. Fungus was fun.
3. Rapp Varlet, a bard in the 1st ever AirDnD game my friends and I played. Also my first ever 2e DnD character. Rapp was scrappy and quick-witted (probably more quick-witted than me) and he survived a delve into a lich's pyramid. His main weapon was an ironwood lute that he'd clonk people with.
2. Claire duLac, a cleric of Deneir. Claire was a kind, jovial girl who loved books and was far too naive for the nastiness of Barovia when she got whisked away to Ravenloft. She and Strahd fell in love and while Claire whithered on the vine, she slowly became the reincarnation of Strahd's dead wife
1. To start off: Wex Spritsail, the D&D 4e ranger that I played in my longest campaign. Wex was awkward and distrustful of people because he was on the run from the law after being accused of a crime he didn't commit. Wex had a wonderful story arc and both he and I made lifelong friends.
Post a robot that’s not from Star Wars or Transformers. I guess this guy and his tardigrade mount need names, huh?
It’s hot out. Stupid hot. You know what you need? An Ice Age. Picture it: the year is 100,000. A brisk breeze comes off the glacier. Light snow hides your tracks from the roving band of killer AI sentries that are hunting you. It’s perfect! ❄️ Arrhenius is on itch, RPG Trader, and DriveThruRPG.
Yes! Absolutely! A total homage to “The North Watch.” It was one of my favorite pieces of AD&D art and I wanted to pay tribute to it when I made my own game set in the snow. So cool that you recognized it!
#Arrhenius Biology 101: The subterranean world of the Great Dark is home to many different bioluminescent creatures, insects, fungi, & plants. The torisal mushroom is colloquially referred to as "stars" by the Dorrem people due to their tendency to dot dark cave ceilings with pinpoints of light.
Happy Saturday, #ttrpg goblins! Hope all of your games today are a blast. May all your 20s be natural!
See a robot, post a robot. This is a new piece by Altay Davletov for the first expansion of the #Arrhenius #ttrpg called "Fahjē's Guide to Gear." Apparently even for ozzits, trying to get a clear signal is still a whole thing in the year 100,000.
I'm making a new thing. A new #ttrpg thing. If you've checked out #Arrhenius, you'll be happy (maybe?) to know that I'm hard at work on my new gearporn expansion: Fahjē's Guide to Gear.
This is #Arrhenius weather. Would you rather: - shovel the frozen driveway? - or explore the frozen wastelands of the year 100,000 with a plasma rifle and a mutant bestie? You’re not going out in this icy mess. Might as well check out a new #indie #ttrpg. ❄️ jesseharlin.itch.io/arrhenius
Comfort and joy?! Bah, humbug. Tis the season for frozen mutants! The #Arrhenius #ttrpg comes complete w/snow, ice, hypothermia, and a free Quick Start demo available for download RIGHT NOW. Right now! Can you believe your luck?! All you need to do is add the dice 🎲 jesseharlin.itch.io/arrhenius
Or to be a big tardigrade walking across the spine of the world!
@ennie-awards.bsky.social Hey, Ennies. Do you know that your website hasn’t been accepting submissions for the last few days due to a “critical error” on both mobile and desktop platforms?
Good morning, #reviewers! I have your free copies of #Arrhenius ❄️ right here! Just reach out and let me know. Also, maybe you want to review a Quick Start Guide instead? I’ve got you covered. Just let me know which one you want. 😄 But you have to pick one……..😐 #indiegame #ttrpg #noAI #rpg
ffs. “Anyone know of any winter-themed post-apocalyptic ttrpg’s written by Jesse Harlin?” r/rpg’s self-promotion rules are so frustrating sometimes. 😖
The first review of #Arrhenius is in! The critics are unanimous. jesseharlin.itch.io/arrhenius
IT’S HAPPENING. I’ve started commissioning new art for the first #Arrhenius expansion. Known as “Fahjē’s Guide to Gear,” it’s a system for dungeontellers to use in order to find all the special garba—I mean, all the special treasures that are scattered all over the ruined planet.
I don't know how I feel about these new Zelda movie screenshots.
