Re-doubt is a spell that inflicts doubt upon doubt itself, forcing the subject of the spell to think twice about disbelieving what they are seeing or hearing. This handy little hex comes in handy for illusionists and tellers of tall tales, letting them get away with a trick more often than not!

Question: What do you guys call a unit of mana? Globs? Breaths? Shocks? Slices? Snifters? Drags? Looking for anything better than 'points' lol #Magic #Wizard #GameDev #WorldBuilding #MagicSystem #GameDesign #TTRPG #WritingCommunity

I'll be at @fantomcomics on Monday, 1/26, for the Local Indie Tabletop Playtest night! If you're local to DC, come check out Arcana and a bunch of other games designed in the DMV! #ArcanaRPG #TTRPG #IndieRPG #PlaytestNight #DCGaming #WashingtonDC #TabletopGaming #GameDesign #FantomComics #DMVGaming

Designed in the DMV is a local artist's collective based in DC, Maryland, and Virginia. We help each other create and promote tabletop games of all types, including role-playing games, board games, card games, and LARPs. One of the most visible things we do is publish a catalog... 1/4▶️

In tabletop rpg design, sometimes gameplay doesn't come from the mechanics we add, but the ones we omit. www.explorersdesign.com/dominant-mec...

🧲 Magnetize Imbue + Creature + Magnetism Turn an enemy into a magnet. Their armor, weapons, and anything ferrous gets yanked toward them and sticks! Inflicts a -3 penalty to avoid magnetic objects or remove them once attached to the target #SpellbookSaturday #ArcanaRPG #TTRPG #IndieRPG #Kickstarter

I managed to keep reading fantasy all through last year! I think The Name of the Wind had the biggest impact on me, though. The magic in the world of Temerant captures a lot of the feelings I loved from the Earthsea books, but Rothfuss's magic feels evolved and clearly defined in a rare way.

🧙‍♂️Arcana: a standalone TTRPG centered on in-depth spell craft. Players are mages navigating adventures and challenges that can only be solved with new spells they must develop. Perfect for those who enjoy thought experiments and discovery—rewarding curiosity and clever play. arcana-rpg.framer.website

As someone who recently started tipping my toes into #SoloRPG, and wants to dive much deeper, this sort of post by @codexgigaspress.bsky.social motivates me to go all in, print and write and draw and scratch things! open.substack.com/pu...#SoloRPG, #TTRPG

Does anyone else find it annoying to convert the age of fantasy races to real-world human expectations? We put together a tool that makes the whole concept really easy to figure out! arcana-rpg.framer.website/tools.fantas... #TTRPG #IndieTTRPG #TTRPGcommunity #TTRPGartwork #IndieGameDev #RPG

In Arcana, you don't just pick your character's race. You have the option to create their specific lineage, with all the physical, magical, and social aspects that come with it! Play as a human if you wish. If not, play as whatever you find fascinating or empowering! #TTRPG #IndieRPG #TTRPGdesign

In Arcana, magic is a skill you truly develop in-game. You'll start with basic spell components and expand further on what interests you. As you experiment and explore, your spellbook grows into something totally unique to your character's journey! #SelfPromoSunday #TTRPGCommunity #RPGDesign #TTRPG

In the world of Arcana, magic begins with understanding. While studying the essence of a mysterious geode, many questions arise: How does it duplicate the lights of a candle flame, why does it seem to burn slower as a result? Each aspect becomes a tool in your growing repertoire of spells. #TTRPG

The spells you craft have no limit but than your imagination. You can craft spells to conjure creatures or imbue yourself with their aspects, write simple charms to never again lose your wallet or keys, you can even materialize opulent boudoirs in which to gleefully recline, to bask in your power!

This is my player appreciation thread: I've been making up fun stuff to do with friends for as long as I can remember, but I didn't start with TTRPGs until I squeezed into my friend's D&D 3.5 campaign in 2014.

stop talking about Party Composition and start talking about Table Composition. you'll never know what a truly excellent campaign is like without the artist/cosplayer/writer/tech producer/game designer dream rotation

there's no such thing as "non-destructive graphic design" because of the effects of graphic design on your brain

Today I'm reviewing all of the magic items in the final pages of Arcana's 6th draft! #WIPWednesday

STOP If you see this you must post 4 of your favorite characters from 4 different series.

Our first full length playtest sessions went spectacularly!
