Legends of the Dark World is a 1 page tabletop RPG designed to play like a top-down Zelda title. It's a rules-lite grid based dungeon crawler with fast character creation and includes a guide for crafting your own Zelda-like dungeons! Get it at @peoplesbooktakoma.com only during PeopleCon!

One of the best things I did last year was join the Designed in the DMV Collective. It's an informal group of game designers based in the DC Metro area. To say I love it is an understatement. The people are awesome and it's helped a lot #ttrpg #gameDesign #localindie #indie www.designedinthedmv.org

level-zero-gaming.itch.io/legends-of-t... Level Zero's first true 1-page RPG is an old-school Zelda-style dungeon-delver! I think I owe the LoZ franchise for my love of fantasy. Before I started working on Arcana, I wrote up a system based on Breath of the Wild, which I never really finished. 1/2

level-zero-gaming.itch.ioLegends of the Dark World by Level Zero GamingThis trifold TTRPG requires virtuous heroes, tetrahedral dice, & top-down dungeon nostalgia.

For Legends of the Dark World, I stripped that concept down to a rules-lite form factor and wrote a simple template on how to create dungeons in the classic Zelda format. I would say I owe Zelda a love letter, and the time will come for that. For now, here's my love note lol.

I've been working on a cleaner, more formalized version of Arcana: The Pursuit of Mastery's NPC stat blocks! This is one of the most procrastinated sections of the game lol so I'm challenging myself to create one NPC a day until all 50+ are done! #WIPwednesday #ttrpg #indierpg #dnd #itchio

With the advent of 3D printers, TTRPG players are a very spoiled group. Need a rock? Here's a rock. Need a statue? Here's a statue. Need a chest? You guessed it. Here's a mimic. #d20 #DnD #ttrpg #lootandlair

in a way that saved both the treasure and the dude protecting it! Britt, Andrew, and JB were a joy to play with. They jumped into the roles of the pre-made characters perfectly, and all of them made great moments for the session. 🧵3/5

In a game where players can craft any spell imaginable with the tools at their disposal, you have to expect the unexpected because it's SURPRISINGLY RARE for a problem to be solved the same way twice! 🧵4/5

Lyme has impeccable taste in fantasy orcs. This game goes deeper than even the "cool orcs" approach I often like: it makes your character literally personally responsible for the way the orcs turn out in the classic "wizard did it" situation, exploring the question of creative responsibility.

5 hours until the Ennies Emporium backerkit campaign for Ennie-nominated RPG Dawn of the Orcs launches. If you didn't get the game the first time, now's your chance! I'm also offering a couple games that will probably never see physical printing any other time. www.backerkit.com/call_to_acti...

Something I love about TTRPGs is that once you have even the simplest (potentially free) ruleset and some dice, you can literally play the same game forever. No-one can monetise it or take it away. You can hack it and mod it and write your own content for it so it keeps feeling fresh.
