Eclipse Phase is one of my favourite ever RPGS & I can’t wait to try The Snarl (looks like a really weird, in a good way, alternative fantasy RPG) All the recommends 💜

Only something like Eclipse Phase could get away with such an out-there adventure premise and I am 100% here for it and recommend this game to anyone and everyone who wants fun sci-fi adventures.

Still waiting for a good excuse to play it, but another from the library is Eclipse Phase from @posthumanstudios.com. This game really seems to capture both the great possibilities and dangers of advanced technologies like sleeving if you liked Altered Carbon. www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/2...

Eclipse Phase is a really cool game. It is now also a really cheap game. If you ever wanted to play an uplifted gorilla or an angry toaster or a sentient spaceship or a nanotech cloud, this is where you get to do that.

wait posthuman is making a weird fantasy rpg??? omg omg omg

When we set out to design the world of The Snarl, we specifically avoided certain fantasy tropes. Specifically, we steered away from the faux-feudalistic politics and economies that are the default for most games.

This looks fun!

Unlike other fantasy settings, the Snarl -- our upcoming weird fantasy RPG -- is not awash with murderous tomb robbers. 🧵↓

When you achieved peer status with a group, they gift gear and other resources to you without the need for barter.

Arcana are, of course, a major source of plot hooks. Thieving arcana from a rival tribe is a favorite way of stealing thunder — the common practice of one-upping your neighbors and rival groups for status.

Unlike other fantasy settings, the Snarl -- our upcoming weird fantasy RPG -- is not awash with murderous tomb robbers. 🧵↓

They might also include items crafted from rare materials, such as sword crafted from the rare star-metal (metal otherwise not existing in the setting). It also includes things like uncommon medicines, unusual saps, and the unusual major arcana, or magic items of the setting.

Arcana are not hoarded to gain wealth, however. Instead, they are gifted to others. Gifting raises your status with that particular group or faction, until they count you as one of their own.

Unlike other fantasy settings, the Snarl -- our upcoming weird fantasy RPG -- is not awash with murderous tomb robbers. 🧵↓

These are largely handled in the abstract but can be defined by the GM for flavor (or via a random table). Goods are used to trade with strangers for gear and supplies the party needs for their kits.

Second, there are arcana — rarer, more valuable items. These are often cultural artifacts, perhaps holding significance to a particular clan or faction.

Unlike other fantasy settings, the Snarl -- our upcoming weird fantasy RPG -- is not awash with murderous tomb robbers. 🧵↓

So how does this work within an RPG, where PCs are normally incentivized to kill monsters and take their treasure? In The Snarl, people do not adventure for gold and wealth — they are driven by other motivations: protection, exploration, archeology, socio-political conflicts, etc.

Rest assured, there is still loot — of a sort. First, there are goods, which are tangible items that have value to the Weald’s communities: rare foods, artisanal goods, tools, art, and other staples.

Unlike other fantasy settings, the Snarl -- our upcoming weird fantasy RPG -- is not awash with murderous tomb robbers. 🧵↓

The vertical environment of skyscraper-sized trees makes farming and agriculture challenging, which puts constraints on the number and sizes of large settlements.

With society organized on a smaller scale such as clans and towns, things are more collectivized. Amongst locals, resources are shared and gifted. When traveling or interacting with strangers, barter is common.

Unlike other fantasy settings, the Snarl -- our upcoming weird fantasy RPG -- is not awash with murderous tomb robbers. 🧵↓

Despite its unusual environs, The Snarl was once (and still largely is!) a place of abundance. Food and the resources needed to survive are readily available to small-scale groups.

They might look like fairies, but the insectoid veetlings should not be underestimated! 🧵↓ Art by @crimreaper.bsky.social !

Veetling mothers lay single fertilized eggs that almost always hatch identical twins. As they grow, veetling children go inactive for a day several times a year to molt until they reach adulthood.

Veetling twins often stick together throughout their lives, maintaining close relations, but it is not uncommon for them to go their separate ways as adults.

They might look like fairies, but the insectoid veetlings should not be underestimated! 🧵↓ Art by @crimreaper.bsky.social !

Veetlings sport two pairs of dragonfly-like or butterfly-like wings, four fingers and toes, sharp teeth, and dual sets of forward-facing dark eyes. Their heads come in a variety of shapes, typically mounted on long necks.

They smell with their antenna and hear with tympanal organs on their head, but unlike other insectoids breath and speak through their mouths.
