My players and I love flavour in our games.
Find a dusty old flask in a ransacked laboratory?
Finish off the mug left on the wizard’s bedside table?

Check out the Alchemist's Mistake for some 5D20 potion rolling!

It's essential to understand that no single game system or mechanic is inherently superior to others. Each has its strengths and weaknesses, and the choice depends heavily on the type of game experience you want to create and the target audience.

🦠 💎 Infection and resonance are two concepts that effect most things in #ttrpg Bug & Claw.

In I, The Land, you are a patch of land, like an island, valley, or mountain. You have unique characteristics, flora, and fauna, and unique powers. Decide to react to, and influence events as they happen on or around you, or simply pay witness to your changing landscape.
