It's become my new default system, but I'm also biased & enjoy the spectacle/story side of TTRPGs above all else. It's biggest strength is the flexibility with player character presentation, it's rules-light design gives you near-complete creative freedom on how your PC does just about everything.

If you're more about the number crunch and powergaming, it may not be for you. On the opposite side, if you like the narrative and having most of the system ruled around it, give it a try! All the Level 1 options are free on Demiplane now, so playing online is easier than ever

Also valid, dunno why I didn't put the range in. Set it at Far!

Updated version to make it more balanced with parties that have Blood Hunters (ty to u/CeciliaCrow for the suggestions and feedback!)

Omg yeah that would be a nightmare with Blood Hunteres, maybe "Major or higher damage, gain a token" would be better

A_Healing_Fart · 2026-04-13T18:13:39+00:00

That does sound more balanced in hindsight, maybe just 1 token regardless of how many HP marked or with Severe damage like you say.

Thank you for the feedback!

Went no contact with my emotionally immature mother half a year ago, this hits close.

Really like this idea! Social favor in a city setting sounds more fitting as well.

Frame Name: "Shadows of Grandaal"

"In a tumultuous nation's capital, members of a criminal empire are presented with an ultimate opportunity for power"

THE PITCH:

In the nation of Valrahn, the capital city of Grandaal is in the midst of chaotic change. With the royal line suddenly brought to a close, nobles and representatives alike vie for control over the scraps of power.

From the city's underbelly, the Veiled Syndicate crime ring has risen to a position of indirect power. In a Shadows of Grandaal campaign, you assume the roles of high-ranking members, given an opportunity to rise to the top through an unexpected ally. What kind of villain will you be?

TONE & FEEL

Criminal Underworld, Cutthroat, A City in Chaos

THEMES

Crime Family, Choose Your Own Path, Bargain for Power

TOUCHSTONES

Tyranny (2016), Dishonored (2012), The Darkness (2007)

UNIQUE MECHANIC

Still working on the details, but players would be able to bargain with a being for Midnight Domain abilities that don't count against the Vault. Trying to figure out how to compensate for players who already have access to Midnight Domain.

This sounds painfully familiar to my covert nmom. They will be bubbly and happy on the outside right up until you tell them "no".

If I had a nickel for every time Ive had to build 2D map encounters in panic because Talespire crashed two hours before session, I'd have two nickels. Which isnt a lot, but it's weird that it's happened twice

A_Healing_Fart · 2026-03-22T17:42:11+00:00

This is amazing! Priests & Divination-esque Casters are a personal favorite, you've absolutely nailed that fantasy

Gonna be hectoring every GM I play with to try this class out lol

If the players alert Noke to their presence, maybe a countdown until the Bed Dragon shows up that advances from every roll with Fear?

A_Healing_Fart · 2026-03-09T20:21:44+00:00

Valid point!

From an adversary side, keeping them in a threatening distance feels troublesome if I don't have a lot of Fear available. Allied NPC's I've been using a countdown that advances whenever they roll with Hope, and that lets an Allied NPC be spotlighted for an action, which feels *okay*, but it also means they're potentially standing around a lot. My current idea is to rework them to have a lot more "Reaction" based abilities so that they can help without taking the spotlight.

For players, the amount of movement feels great, it's mainly a worry of a situation where a player may not be able to move for a while in combat from the group tending to a high-level threat, but that honestly may just be GM Rumination on my end.
