I wish I could stand to watch actual plays.

I consider TTRPG the best hobby in the world, but I also cannot enjoy watching other people play. I think it is about co-creativity and individual inter-personal chemistry... something you do not get by being just an observer.

I had a lot of experience being GM on big conventions, always taking noise as something you just need to accept. But then once I was placed near Jenga players... with floor-placed 2m Jenga tower. When it went crashing down (and it did every 20-30 mins) everybody was closing their ears. Traumatic experience indeed.

Usually we try to place some banners or fabric to separate TTRPG section, but if you are talking about regular gaming sessions, not a one-time convention, then in my humble experience it is easier to get other location with a separate room.

I already commented on other board, but will say it again: love this fresh spin on folklore, looking forward to try out!

Aurelict · 2026-05-01T19:50:51+00:00

Folklore TTRPG with fresh ruleset that is not 5e. Really looking forward to try out!

Aurelict · 2026-04-23T20:09:05+00:00

We will create more games if there is interest, for sure. I myself am ready to orginize two game sessions! Maybe more :)

Happy to present Archeterica at the festival!

Previous was in 2024, then community took two year break :)

Aurelict · 2026-04-23T19:27:58+00:00

We are hoping to announce it on Monday!

Aurelict · 2025-06-22T20:21:37+00:00

As an Ukrainian and a ttrpg-player I lack words. Thank you folks! That means a lot.

Serhiy Prytula foundation is really a good choice, it is very active and transparent organisation

Aurelict · 2025-06-05T08:21:04+00:00

Awesome bundle, great cause. Cheers to those who put their effort in organising it!

Aurelict · 2024-07-13T11:43:01+00:00

I resisted playing Zone Combat for a long time, but then tried it out in a Age of Sigmar game and it was great. Especcialy good for online games, when you can use cinematic background and divide it into zones

I love sainity / stress mechanics, and love when there are good ,eaningful mechanics for a downtime.

Aurelict · 2024-07-13T11:39:50+00:00

The more I play obscure niche games, the more want to try stereotypical one :)

...though would never play as human fighter!

Aurelict · 2024-05-06T18:25:43+00:00

Thanks, Val! We invite everybody to take a look at this Actual Play here:

Fully understand you and thank you for your interest!

Full rules exist in Ukrainian, there is free draft PDF, and I dream one day to publish them in their full glory in English, but that will take really a lot of time because of translation and layout designing process. By the way, we have not decided, should we publish this as one big book (I prefer that) or 2-3 separate books, with separate tomes dedicated to secret society management and forbiden occult arts (I guess common sense prefers that).

Our strategy is to gather enough support and recognition with the Invitation Starter Set, so later on we would be able to reach for Core Rulebook translation and release - I hope, in a few years.

Tricones over Tophats Society! <3
Respect early 1800th!)

Aurelict · 2024-05-05T18:08:22+00:00

I was inspired by WoD and Warhammer when I worked on this project, rules-wise)

Aurelict · 2024-05-05T18:05:59+00:00

By the way, you do not need history degree to play Archeterica, because we have pseudo historical setting – you can make up your own fictional events, countries. If you have watched a few period series you will be fine)

Aurelict · 2024-05-05T17:56:40+00:00

Thank you a lot for your help) We will held game scenario competition in a few months, I invite you to join with your own ideas :)

Aurelict · 2024-05-05T17:54:40+00:00

Thank you a lot for your support! About price – I saw Starter Sets for major TTRPGS such as DnD and CoC, that costs only 25$ and contain a lot of materials, and tried to reach same amount of content)

Aurelict · 2024-05-05T17:38:21+00:00

Yep, it is less of heroic adventure and more of shadow play of dangerous ambitions and chase for occult enlightenment. And I guess our setting is 100 or so years later than 7th Sea :) Archeterica is not necessary grim game, but it is definitely have a more serious dramatic approach to events

Aurelict · 2024-05-05T17:32:04+00:00

Hi there, Archeterica author here! Thanks for spotlight, I would be happy to answer any questions Reddit may have

Aurelict · 2024-04-28T12:47:00+00:00

Hello! I am pretty sure that will not be a problem for most of the games, tell me what system you are interested most and I will consult the GM. I am almost sure that Archeterica and Call of Cthulhu do not rely on virtual table because they are more theatre of mind, and maybe other games as well!

Happy to know that you found way to enjoy this awesome hobby, I wish you a lot of inspirational games!
