We've moved!
I've gone and gotten myself a "real" website/blog to maintain. Please head over to mysteriouslever.com!

A minimalist definition of an RPG
A role playing game (RPG) is a scenario of drama, and a mechanic for acting in that drama. RPGs are an exploration of what it's like to be somewhere, someone, or something else. They are games because they have some rule or rules that arbitrate the flow of that exploration.

Work Work Work
Progress continues.
Turns out magic systems are hard. I've had to redesign and rework both the Animancer class and the rune system more than once. In my latest efforts, I've simplified character creation, which forced a rethink of both the Animancer and Biomancer classes.
Overall though, the game never stops improving. So I will keep at the forge, hammering it until it's the masterpiece that I want it to be.
Cheers!
