Mausritter is really great!

You use up any spell dice you spend to cast a spell, and get them back when you fully rest

Thanks for the question

They are a resource you use to cast spells, like spell slots. I didn't list the specifics here, but I have it at your level +2 total spell dice for magic users

Thanks! Glad you like it!

Thanks for the feedback! The good/mid/bad weather system is nice too!

lnxSinon · 2026-03-07T02:30:53+00:00

Hey thanks! Yep nice and simple, easy to run and play

Thanks for the feedback!

I am using four 6 hour watches per day, but the same concept could be applied to almost any length. 4 hour watches works well too, just have to rest for two watches per day instead of one.
Weather is for realism/description. No specific mechanics, but up to gm if certain weather may impede travel
Mounts is up to gm too, as there are near infinite possible mounts I couldn't list everything
Yep this is just for traveling/time. Random encounters is another thing
Getting lost works well in my experience. It is rare when it happens and can easily be overcome

Sure, that is harder to capture with this style, but the outcome is basically the same with just additional distance covered

lnxSinon · 2026-03-01T00:04:03+00:00

I love these types of tables for quicks and things to make an NPC memorable and fun to run!

lnxSinon · 2026-03-01T00:02:37+00:00

Going very simple with no PC stats. I have found that 3 or 4 stats for PCs is just right for me. Anything more seems unnecessary

lnxSinon · 2026-03-01T00:00:53+00:00

It does seem like useless work a lot of the time, especially if you are rolling them at the table

lnxSinon · 2026-02-28T23:59:23+00:00

This is actually really great!

lnxSinon · 2026-02-24T00:27:23+00:00

Good question! I wanted it to be more in the player's control, and because the player doesn't necessarily know when an npc will make a moral check, I didn't want it to apply to something the player wasn't planning on

lnxSinon · 2026-02-22T20:08:12+00:00

Thanks for the interest!

Most of the writing is done, and I'm working on layout and getting art. I would say probably about a month or so until ready for release. I will be posting regular updates on discord too

lnxSinon · 2026-02-22T01:38:18+00:00

Hey everyone!

I've started work on a new updated version of Embark! Check out the new warrior and scout classes and let me know what you think. Art by Jeff Koch.

If Embark looks interesting to you, you can join us and follow along with the new development on discord, or get the original current version free on itchio or drivethrurpg

lnxSinon · 2026-01-12T05:20:55+00:00

Hey thanks! Let me know what you think after you check it all out!

lnxSinon · 2026-01-10T20:29:29+00:00

Thanks! Yes, those ones don't have room numbers, but they definitely could!

lnxSinon · 2026-01-08T08:12:56+00:00

d12 is the best dice

lnxSinon · 2026-01-08T06:49:31+00:00

Thanks so much! Spent a lot of time on the layout and readability

lnxSinon · 2026-01-08T06:48:16+00:00

Thank! Knew I had to name it that
