Though it lacks combat, it has quite a lot of violence* - and its implemented in a really thematic, interesting way too! *if you're VERY unlucky and meet the Heroes of the salt states

IF YOU BUILD OVER A PILE OF CORPSES, SOONER OR LATER, YOU'LL BE GRABBED BY THE ANKLE I feel vindication in a way that is hard to grasp. To FINALLY wake up to this. A few of you reached out to me, and I to a few of you, over the last year. So now it's the best time to talk about this. Buckle up. 🧵

You may be attracted first by the stunning art and visual texture, but I promise you that the text (rules and prose both, and intertwined) and the mechanics are also richly textured, and incredibly tactile. I can't recommend it highly enough.

Zephyr is a game that has altered my brain. I find myself in consideration of it and all its wonders and horrors. It is a setting and system that truly will inspire you

These are the revenue stats for Araukana, based almost entirely on Zephyr sales, for 2025. This doesn't include close to $1500 from IPR consignment sales, nor sales from my US distributor that were discounted from warehousing costs. DTRPG shot showcases gross sales VS net earnings.

Reviews still drive sales in the TTRPG space.

We are talking goblin fashion and why it changed over time, the role of kings, as well as the chronologic making of a language based on pollen deposits and clay-made bowls

New post is up for Patrons! I'm delving into the process of making the "Goblin: An Ethnography" impromptu project with a much more direct, hands-on look at how I worldbuild stuff. It's full of gruesome pictures of goblins, so maybe check it out? www.patreon.com/posts/146199...

I made a long ass thread about what my economics were this year - a year when I didn't launch a KS, and where most earnings came from Zephyr since we have no Nibiru stock. It's worth a look if you are interested in numbers and factors swinging the viability of a one person operation in indie TTRPGs.

Zephyr literally has no combat, yet at the same time it's pretty mechanically complex, featuring a color token system representing your Constitution. You have mechanics for cooking, hunting, gliding, etc. and gotta manage your tokens in order to survive :) youtu.be/UjiTlM_u0rQ?...

100% recommended!

Buy/Play Zephyr! I plan to do the latter once i read through the book twice at least to make sure i actually understand the rules somewhat lmao

Zephyr's system evokes ties between entities and environment, with your character's own worldview mechanized in ways that may enable/weaken this back and forth flow of tokens. Get it w/free shippping in the US at tabletopbookshelf.com/products/zep... and elsewhere at araukana.com/store #ttrpg #dnd

I would also love to see or listen to an actual play of Zephyr

I want to hear some Zephyr!

Would personally be down to run/be a player in this if I knew enough people to play, I sadly dont believe I do, but if anyone I know would be down/knows people who would DM me on discord or reply about it :>

Obligation carved :') I really like how this one, especially the needle, turned out. Hope I can get better at making Windfolk fetishes

Man. The Zephyr Expansion is going to look even better than the corebook <3

We didn't get to that grand obligation, but we fed some salt state prisoners a cooked mushgnaw we hunted, got them back to their settlement, hung out with a wind glider bro, and a knitting biddy, traversed a swamp in a makeshift boat, and arrived at the Earthenfort.
