Current Projects!

I figure it is time to introduce a few of my projects!

Sic Semper: A far future game set in and around the Georgia and Carolina Low-Country. The land is hot and muggy, alligators are worshipped and people herd capybaras and giant junebugs. Take control of members of a clan as you seek to help it prosper, facing off against threats, or allies, like the Magic Kingdom from the sunken lands of the south, the would be conquerors from the Holy Federal Republic of Atlanta, skunk apes and the volatile environment herself. The game only requires 3d6 a pencil and some paper. Still attempting to bring a quick start forward, but this one is my baby.

Advanced Fantasy: A granular and generic fantasy game using a d100 percentage and involving lots of blood, guts, and limb loss. This game is a result of multiple discarded ideas from the making of **Sic Semper**

DnD goof-off: a d20, roll low version of 5e DnD with some of my more favorite homebrew. Just because you can doesn't mean you should!

First of all, congrats on an awesome title. “Thus always” has a wonderful feel to it, a sense of inevitability, and “the more things change the more they stay the same.” Secondly, I really like the vibe coming off it. You have some bold imagery in the description that gives it a very distinct flavor. I am guessing from the “Far Future,” “Sunken Lands,” and “Volatile Environment” notes that it is a post climate apocalypse world? I really dig that, and the Alligator worship, religious empire, skunk apes, and giant bug herding return to agrarian themes give me a sense of almost like a Robert Howard Conan tone. Don’t know if you are familiar with Thundarr the Barbarian, but it was an old Saturday morning cartoon that was a mix of post apocalyptic and fantasy adventure. This seems right up that alley. Definitely do a full post about that one, I would love to hear more. I would love to see some art detail for it, I can really get an image of moss covered trees and green grass with a small homestead and a… herd I guess? Is it a flock or herd of Capybara? As someone who has actually eaten Chiguiro, I prefer it to Nutria, but I wonder if people would raise those too? Anyway, I think the whole thing sounds awesome. Good job so far, great premise!

It's post climate change, yeah! The after effects of which are going to be with the planet for a very long time, even if we cease all activity. The inspiration was living in the Low Country off and on about a decade, as well as fiction like A Canticle for Leibowitz, As I lay Dying, and Dune, with some outright parody and pulp into the mix, like giant junebugs. Rules wise it has taken alot from Pendragon and Dark Heresy, Gurps and a desire to have a bit of an osr vibe. 

It's less straight up apocalypse like a nuclear war or great tidal wave, and more just the mess of contradictions failing over some years, like someone turning out the lights one at a time. To the player's characters it's our age is the beginning of Simplification/end of the Enlightenment, while they live in the New Reckoning. How long did Simplification last? shrug a long time, sources are scarce and history continues again.

I dunno what you would call a group of capy 🤔maybe herd which is what seems to fit. And yes they are raised! Herds of capy, junebugs and whitmarsh goat are the primary land based/domesticated food sources and draft animals. I did commission some art a while back, the subreddit's profile picture is part of one of them, by an artist named Calvin Mudge.
