Good job mods, thank you for removing the post instead of clarifying anything about why this decision was made

The post was removed for "breaking rule 2: do not incite arguments/flamewars"

itch.io/b/3745/taiga... I've got a big ttrpg (and a couple other creative projects) bundle going on for another week. It reached its goal, but any excess is going towards a refurbished laptop so I can continue ttrpg work during my upcoming exchange studies. Thank you everyone for the support!!

Currently up to 85 pages in the doc

A spread from Catacombs of Virga, a dark fantasy dungeon delver ttrpg. The titles of the sections on the pages are "Camping" and "Leaving the Catacombs"

My favourite playbook in Catacombs of Virga probably

The Scoundrel's starting move is "Lucky Bastard"

Using public domain art for your ttrpgs is really fun and rewarding actually

Two men in front of a stained glass window. One of them is feeding blood from his wrist to the other. There are myriad eyes behind the stained glass, peering in. Some eyes even appear in the darkness of the room the pair are in.

Doing one more push to get over the finish line for Taiga's Eviction Bundle (fun fact, I'm getting evicted at the end of August)! itch.io/b/3745/taiga... Help a queer disabled creative out and pick up 30 projects for only $12 #ttrpg #mutualaid

Chances of this cat being a short head?

Look at this extremely good 1500s religious art print I found on another one of my sojourns through museum archives harvardartmuseums.org/collections/...

Print of Saint James and the Magician Hermogenes with a bunch of ghouls and goblins, a witch escaping the chaotic scene through a fireplace.

Guess who decided to cook with this one? (It was me). Catacombs of Virga art and layout is trucking along slowly, and I am really happy with it! #ttrpg

Thank you for your support, Chiitan!

I'm writing a pretty fucking banging episodic horror ttrpg if I do say so myself. Keep your eyes peeled!!!

The cover of Wyrd Watch, a horror ttrpg. It features an abstract design that evokes tentacles, a strange silhouette, in greens and reds.

Text example covering the basics of the game. It uses a tarot deck and is suitable both for one-shots and long-form play. It's GM-optional

An example of a playbook, the Socialite and its four moves that influence how a Socialite character plays.

An introduction to the starter scenario "The Strange and Unexpected Disappearance of Tilly Timberman" in which a teen girl goes missing and you wind up in a search party with the other characters. An introduction to the world of the wyrd.

My occasional delves into online museum archives keep unearthing gems (via metmuseum.org)

Terracotta mask in the shape of the head of a fox, dog, or bat. The mask is handmade. It has a flaring, bell-shaped neck and pellet eyes.

I know people often think they're coming from a good place when they post stuff like this, but perhaps reconsider when your framing is basically "those dirty backwards Eastern Europeans"

I'm looking to earn some extra money so I can pick up a new painting medium and the entry for initial materials is fairly expensive. So if you want to help me keep making some gay traditional art, please consider sharing or hitting me up!

taiga@dawnbreak· May 1

I've opened commissions recently and I'd really love to take on some work. I do pretty cool stuff! Email witchbreak.rpg@gmail.com to discuss stuff or fill out this form and I'll get in touch: forms.gle/WHdK1CD7RZjj...

taiga@dawnbreak· May 1

I am... Thinking about putting together a bundle since art supplies expensive.......

There's still a month left to enter the Mock Cover Jam where I and a few other designers have offered up covers for fake ttrpgs that you could make a reality! #mockcoverjam itch.io/jam/mock-cov...

taiga@dawnbreak· Apr 22

Did you know I take commissions for ttrpg work? I make some pretty swanky cover designs if I say so myself. Feel free to reach out via witchbreak.rpg@gmail.com or here

Here's my favourite new mechanic

Tempo
The world moves to an unheard melody. Tempo is a trait that sets the pace of the game. The higher the Tempo, the more danger you’re likely to incur. Tempo is divided into three tiers – Adagio (slow), Moderato (moderate), and Allegro (fast). The MC may up the tempo as a risky consequence, and players can bring it back down again by utilising a Set-up Action.

At the start of every match and errand, start a repeating 4-tick Tempo clock. Whenever a character rolls a 1 on an Action Roll, add one tick to the clock – this includes all dice rolled, not just the highest.

When the clock fills, the MC takes one Tempo token. This token may be spent to inflict a consequence at any time. The severity of the consequence depends on the level the Tempo was at when the token was earned. As such, Tempo tokens come in three varieties: Adagio tokens, Moderato tokens, and Allegro tokens.

Adagio tokens can be spent to inflict a controlled consequence, Moderato tokens to inflict a risky consequence, and Allegro tokens to inflict a desperate consequence. Two tokens of a type may be discarded to take one token of a tier higher.

Did you know I have commissions open and could really do with some extra work? I make some really cool book covers and such #ttrpg
