#mörkborg #ttrpg work: Explaining my Sanity stat for the game. I LOVE how Insight works in Bloodborne, so having a secondary stat to track it in the game makes sense. Not shown here: you can regain Psyche by processing what you've been through, leveling up.

Carcinization comes for all, even TTRPG animal companions.

Never underestimate the power of good #design!! 🗣️📢 creating a character is cut down for new players from like 2 hours 😅 to 45 minutes 😁 shout-out @taliautsch.bsky.social you know where to go if you need something designed, salute 🫡 #UI #UX #graphicdesign #charactersheet #ttrpg #indierpg #rpg

A #podcast I was on released the episode we recorded together :) we chat about SNS, have a lil fun The convo's a little old but it's a cool lil snapshot and the peeps over at 3RPG are lovely, give em some love if you're able!❤️ youtu.be/dO7Y525660w #biopunk #ttrpg #ttrpgdev #rpg #design #indierpg

Slowly tweaking & modifying the #trifold #charactersheet that I commission from @taliautsch.bsky.social, printed it out several times now it's so nicee having something physical that only existed digitally 😊 Will pop this up on the itch page soon so peeps can have a go with it 🫡 💯 #biopunk #ui #ux

A demo character sheet commissioned for SNS 2.0 by the lovely @taliautsch.bsky.social 💯 Really cool stuff, SNS 2.0 is going to be something special 😁 Keep an eye out for when it's live! #charactersheet #biopunk #trifold #tabletop #scifi #ttrpg #ttrpgdev #rpg #design #indierpg #gamedev #TTRPG

A note to anyone downloading SNS from itch.io, I've uploaded the in development version of SNS 2.0 there for playtesting purposes If you're wanting the previous polished version, 1.8 can be still be downloaded from drivetrurpg.com, remember it's free! #biopunk #ttrpg #tabletop #wip #ttrpgdev #rpg

damn, perfect timing actually remember the character sheet I tentatively requested 😅 I finished a version of it I liked, like last night

*Crawls back into the light after weeks away* I've updated the #charactersheet portrait to landscape since I'm changing the game from #classbased to #skillbased hopefully, once I've worked through my loop of starting, panicking about the changes and reversing course it'll be out :) Stay tuned!

Currently thinking about wounds, death and how I'm tackling them for the next update to my #biopunk #ttrpg near-death moments are so good and full of juicy story potential and tension, need to figure out some more tricks to inject some more of that into the game, or at least in the early parts.

Some earlier WIP sculpts of the race, once I got the body where I wanted it was mostly the head that changed. I still might want a tail or something, but for now I'm happy I still need to do a male version, but fat is so incredibly hard to sculpt 😅 took me absolutely ages, starting over & over

So I was thinking about the hitchhikers guide to the galaxy while I was at work, and there's that creature in the book the The Restaurant at the End of the Universe that offers their meat to the main cast... needless to say, inspiring so I've come up with a new playable race for my #ttrpg SNS ↓↓↓

Sprinkling more demon girls into your feed, don't mind me #demongirl #peircings #altfashion #alternative #demon #hell #blender #render #imp #neonfashion #pastelgoth #hypebeast #altgirl #vibrant

I re-did the materials for the Hellion :) red skin really suits them more I think, since I'm going for the whole demon vibe for this race sucks that I have to make all the other models this level of quality tho 😅 #demon #devil #biopunk #imp #red #tabletop #ttrpgdev #notdnd #indiettrpg #demongirl

I feel a problem is that my images don't really tell a story, need to get good at #environmentalstorytelling, or maybe just more #explosions places 👀 anyway... *places my art gently in your feed* what sort of story could I tell here? #envconcept #fisheye #brutalist #soviet #worldbuilding #biopunk

Populating the manual with more art! these set of gory speakers'll be popped next to the #Idol archetype #fisheye is such a cool effect, makes otherwise static images feel dynamic :) definitely going to use it more #gore #gory #speakers #ttrpgdev #indiettrpg #notdnd #grindfiction #biopunk

Coming up with the two new Species/Races for the 1.9 update to my #ttrpg has been a real pain, I kind of get now why people default to the elves/dwarves or weird bug creature for fantasy n #sci-fi Anyway here's one I've been working on, essentially a #bird #centaur, a birdtaur if you will.

I'm trying something new, more colour so I can get across an iridescent drenched in neon aesthetic. Defo aping the #Morkborg & #Cy_borg vibe Blood won't look like blood when it's neon yellow🤔 right? #ttrpg #neon #biopunk #tabletop #scifi #graphicdesign #indierpg #poster #indiettrpg #notdnd

You know what actually matters about ttrpgs? The friends we made along the way

A few more flags :) honestly it's such a fun side project I'll probably be making more which one's your favourite? #flag #vexillology #ttrpgdev #indierpg #ttrpg #dnd #tabletop #biopunk #flagdesign #rpg

I've been designing some #faction #flags for SNS, it's been a fun process trying to boil down the themes, though I'm only partially following the rules of #vexillology here are a few of the ones I've made so far, pretty realistic no? #ttrpg #ttrpgdev #tabletop #rpg #flagdesign #biopunk

I'm redoing the #species I modelled a few posts ago, something about it just didn't sit right with me. This wip has clicked a little better, and so maybe in the #ttrpg SNS 1.9 you'll be able to play as a #lobster / #shrimp looking creature 😅 The idea is it's like werecreature you transform into!

I made another gun model, heavily based on the P90 (Really should try n create something that isn't a weapon) I swear! I'm not making a wargame guys it's an RPG 😭 I'll try n focus on some fashion stuff next, no more hard surface modelling #ttrpg #rpg #tabletop #weapon #concept #scifi #biopunk

OHH also, I'm finally getting around to like actually putting images of all the species in the document, the Feikin'll be there. The design is still mmmmmm for me, I might redo it another couple dozen times, but at least there's something to look at. #biopunk #species #specevo #critter #creature

A bunch of other colours I tried out for the gun before I settled, marathons art style's been such an inspiration design wise. I think I'll have to give some of the old designs a make over. #marathon #gun #sharpshooter #rpg #ttrpg #josephcross #design #conceptart #graphicrealism #weapon

Made another gun for my #ttrpg SNS, really want to start dotting more art around the document. this one's the Mosston 0DK rifle, in two colour ways, (I think I prefer blue and yellow) #gun #tabletop #rifle #sniper #biopunk #scifi #scifigun #plastic #ttrpgdev #modelling #hardsurface #blender

Since I'm updating the #stats this is a peek at the page explaining what they all do ↓ I'm still figuring out all the connections gameplay wise but this should allow for way more #customisability than before, to make your character really feel #unique! #biopunk #personality #ttrpgdev #sneekpeek

1.9 Cometh! my #biopunk #ttrpg SNS has had 12 stats but the newest update is set to go up to 24 squishing this all into a character sheet was surprisingly fun! stay tuned for the full release. There'll be a bunch of new content! #character #sheet #tabletop #graphicdesign #formatting #ttrpgdev

Added clothes, really ties the whole thing together I think :) still have to go over what the purpose is behind their creation, thinking water related. #crab #lobster #monstergirl #oc #minature #ttrpg #dnd #tabletop #biopunk #characterdesign #tabletop #insect #species #specevo #rpg #race #indierpg

I've refined the previous species I posted, added texture! I think they strike a good balance, what do you guys think? looking forward to adding them. #crab #lobster #monstergirl #oc #minature #ttrpg #dnd #tabletop #biopunk #characterdesign #tabletop #insect #species #specevo #rpg #race #indierpg

The baby version of the creature I posted earlier, very #chubby , I'd like to print it out so I can have it as a keychain ooh, maybe made out of the rubber those 90's sticky hand toys were made of, so I can punt it at a window #animalconcept #OC #sculpt #ttrpg #minature #mini #baby #cute #chibi

Made an animal for the eventual SNS beastiary, it's a bit deranged looking, but I made a baby version and that makes it worth it. I'm thinking it's a racing animal, like a genetically modified greyhound #monster #specevo #animal #creature #minature #ttrpg #biopunk #tabletop #mini #conceptart #OC

Added a body, slowly refining the design of the #insect #species, gave them human feet so they can wear sneakers, just the right amount of cursed me thinks 🌚 still needs a little more personality, but it's getting there! #ttrpg #speculativeevolution #bug #specevo #crab #moth #monstergirl #sculpt

Working on a new #insect species for my ttrpg SNS, the slime species just wasn't working with the vibe I'm going for, here's some wip busts of progress I've made so far 🪲 #buggirl #insectgirl #aracnid #critter #sculpture #tabletop #minature #crab #mantis #spidergirl #monstergirl #OC #species #ttrpg

Adding flip phones to my ttrpg SNS #ttrpg #flipphone #y2k #2000s #phone #retro #tech #dumbphone #plastictech #biopunk #tabletop #render #nostalgia

is there a ttrpg #charactersheet app on #steam already?, I think SNS is breaking new ground 😲 also many thanks to the folks who already reviewed it ♥️ you're lovely I've made a document accessible on the discord for planned updates to the app #app #ttrpg #digital #newgame #gamedev #tabletop #rp

I've been hesitant to post about this because in the back of my mind I'm like "but it's not finished, could be better" but hey that's what early access is for, so SNS the digital #charactersheet application is on #steam It's published and is downloadable RN!! store.steampowered.com/app/1525920/...

My f̶i̶r̶s̶t̶ s̶e̶c̶o̶n̶d̶ third attempt at a logo for Into The Midnight Pale (ITMP) still not sure I'm quite satisfied with it but it has a vibe, an ✨atmosphere✨ and so this is what it'll be for now! does this make you think of witches? 🤔 #witch #occult #logodesign #ttrpgdev #tabletop #darkfantasy #creepy

woo! I've started on my new game Into The Midnight Pale A witchy ttrpg about using animals as a magical fuel source, with spirits, fey folk and other strange happenings it's still very early on in development, but I've made a character sheet! #ttrpgdev #witch #occult #omen #wards #hunting #rpg

Setting about running two games of my ttrpg SNS one after the other, the players are set and one campaign has already started, wish me luck 😅 my biggest worry is mixing up the two lol, but hopefully any remaining bugs in 1.8 will get ironed out in the forge #ttrpg #campaign #gming #dming #biopunk

So, I think for the moment my #ttrpg SNS is "finished" feels weird to say but I'm at a bit of a roadblock now until I've either built up enough of an audience to crowd fund a better looking irl version of it, or I miraculously find a publisher willing to help me get it out there

I've been working with a wonderful designer @taliautsch.bsky.social to revamp the layout and visual design of SNS (my ttrpg) here's what she's managed to whip up so far, to get some more personality and style onto the pages. #layoutdesign #layout #graphicsdesign #composition #revamp #ttrpgdev #art

my tabletop game SNS has been updated to version 1.8! and is downloadable on the website 📩 synesthesiasynthetica.com But also on Itch.io & drivethrurpg.com so get it now! if you want to experience some Biopunk sci-fi adventures! #biopunk #ttrpgparty #tabletop #ttrpgdev #sci-fi #punk #roleplay

A few more renders of the Gellchap, my new race for SNS. Quite good I think Jelly skin like this is going to be an absolute pain to recreate in a game engine though 🥲 Thoughts? not giving Halloween skeleton vibes anymore I hope 😅 #biopunk #ttrpgdev #tabletop #gamedev #dev #skeleton #bones #jelly

Whipped up a quick preliminary design for the Jellymen concept I came up with, which I think I'll be calling the Gellchap, has a nicer ring to it. Still going to experiment though, like what it'd look like if it was just the nervous system 👀🪢 #ttrpgdev #ttrpg #sci-fi #biopunk #tabletop #anatomy

Bubbling up the beginnings of an Idea for a new race for my #ttrpg the Jellymen, I think they'd fit in pretty well with all the other weird races in the game 🧫 It's essentially a mash of that one guy from #x-men I think his name is Robert Herman/ Glob Herman and #AttackonTitan or #Antman #ttrpgdev

forgot that there's already a video showing off the app on the #steam page so I'll just give a list of features already added Saving/Loading character sheets Playing music Turntable for the races Oh and since stuff is saved as a .json file you can share it super easily too!! #ttrpgdev #tabletop

So, things happened and the short story is my #biopunk #ttrpg now has a steam application for online play allowing for a smooth all-in-one gameplay experience. plz wishlist if that's a thing you'd be interested in, I'll post videos later showing gameplay ☺️ #steam #steamwishlist #gamedev #ttrpgdev

I've been sculpting some various things to scatter about the documents, here's one I'm very happy with, a skin suit of some sort with ceramic armour plating I was inspired by the godskin nobles from elden ring #biopunk #tabletop #armour #bodysuit #suit #exosuit #ttrpgdev #minature #sculpture

Converted my #psychic race in my #ttrpg game from 2D to 3D! I'm thinking of doing the Daggerheart thing and adding a few pages of like extra concept art near the back of the pdf for examples of other unique physical traits. Always nice to have more options. #tabletop #Biopunk #ttrpgdev #oc
