      
        That's it. I'm sick of all this "+8 AC" crud that's going on in the d20 system right now. Gothic plate armour deserves much better than that. Much, much better than that.

        I should know what I'm talking about. I myself commissioned a genuine suit of Gothic plate in Hamburg for 2,400,000 Euros (that's about nine billion Pesos) and have been practicing with it for almost 2 years now. I can even absorb slabs of solid steel with my Gothic plate.

        German smiths spend years working on a single suit of armour and fold it up to a million times to produce the finest armour known to mankind. Gothic plate is thrice as fluted as Asian lamellar and thrice as hard for that matter too. Anything an ō-yoroi can deflect, Gothic plate can deflect better. I'm pretty sure a suit of Gothic plate would split a katana in half with a simple motionless stance.

        Ever wonder why Japan never bothered conquering medieval Europe? That's right, they were too scared to fight the disciplined knights and their indestructible Gothic plate. Even in World War II, Japanese tanks targeted the men in the Gothic plate first because their staying power was feared and respected.

        So what am I saying? Gothic plate is simply the best armour that the world has ever seen, and thus, require better stats in the d20 system. Here is the stat block I propose for Gothic plate:

        +12 AC, immune to critical hits, counts as Masterwork, DR10/-

        Now that seems a lot more representative of the defensive power of Gothic plate in real life, don't you think?

        tl;dr = Full Plate needs more defense in d20, see my new stat block.

BLACKACRE: Occult Detective RPG

It is the year 1910 since the reign of divine king Aklen. Most of the world is carved up by massive empires, such as the naval power of Metropol. One such colony under her reign is the Archipelago of Blackacre. You play as a Traveller, one who came to the isles in search of power, wealth or answers.

The capital city of Newport is filled with chain smoking cockney gangsters. The frontiers of the isles with brigands and hermits. The air trembles as technology and unrest cascade through society. Some have formed secret societies, believing that the isles themselves hold the secret of everything from clairvoyance to life eternal.

Play as in a turn-of-the-century gangster in a noir detective story or venture into surreal horror traversing other planes of existence.

The game uses a self-made fork of the FATE roleplaying game system which utilizes 2d6s. It also incorporates some elements from other forks, such as the “Fate of Cthulhu” game. You can come up with your own attributes, although the character creation system is neatly split into tables you can roll on to create a fresh character in just a few minutes.

Blackacre is an RPG and a world-building project that I’ve been working on and off for a few years now and plan to do so in the future. There’s an expansion or two on the way, although it’s too early to give a date when it should be out. It’s my attempt to create a setting that I can use as a basis for future stories, comics and, possibly, games. The core book is out now, free of charge on Itch.io.

SkellingtonRPG

"SkellingtonRPG" (the typo is deliberate) otherwise known as "You are drafted to the skeleton war" is an April Fool's game I made during lunch break. To my suprise, it actually ended up becoming somewhat popular on Tumblr and my friends have been using it between more serious campaign sessions.

Currently I'm working on turning it into a zine of about 15-20 pages. I don't want to over-extend the joke, but since it resonated with people, I think it deserves something a bit more fleshed out than a single .png image.

What is this?

This is a repository of tabletop games I worked on. I previously used to do commission work for various card games and books, which got me into the medium. After covid and gamedev in my region taking a nosedive, I decided to make games of my own. For the uninitiated, a tabletop roleplaying game is a kind of board game where the system incorporates a degree of roleplaying and improvisation on part of the player. So instead of just playing a character, you decide what they should say and try to act out a character. The best example of the medium in pop culture is Dungeons and Dragons.

I never played an RPG before, where should I start?

There's a few that I recommend. If you want to quickly find likeminded players, I recommend the latest edition of Dungeons and Dragons due to its sheer popularity. Besides that, a great introduction would be an indie RPG known as Cairn. It's completely free and you can print it out as a zine. There's plenty of free supplements and quests you can use when starting out.
