Yestreen I received a quest from George Fox while dodging spells and defeating a dragon through the power of pacifism. If this sounds cool to you, check out the game "Clockwork and Chivalry" by Cakebread and Walton. You'll love it if you have an interest in TTRPGs and Early Modern History.

Their origin could be due to natural dispersion from the air or an intentional sabotage by a jealous neighbor.

The weeds that grow are said to never leave and grow faster than they can be pulled. Their greedy roots suck up the nutrients from the soil so deeply that they are rumored to be trying to pull up something much deeper.

It is not known if they are just an excuse made by a farmer whose crops fail due to laziness or if they really exist. These airborne seeds grow into giant sharp thistles that ruin harvests and make the soil left behind barren and cracked.

If someone was interested in this project and was offended by that they really have no idea what the hell they were interested. Fuck them. Fuck Columbus.

Hey #TTRPGCommunity! Less than a week until the #Kickstarter for #KOKOTÖNA goes live, so for this #WIPWednesday I'd like to share with you some old concept art and text from way back when the #TTRPG was early in development!

#RPGLatAm

Reddit screenshot of a post dated more than 2 years ago.

The title reads: I'm working on a Mörk Borg compatible Mesoamerican inspired setting called KOKO◈TÖNA, I am gonna start sharing little bits of lore and content here and on the game's Twitter! Hope you like it!

The image shows an aztec style glyph in red on a black background with the text: Years of Ceremonial Flower Wars have reduced the continet-spanning Teotekan Empire to ashes. Tez-Kozamalotl, Huei'Tlatoani, supreme ruler of the seven imperial tribes has succumbed to the madness of embarking into Likland, the accursed eastern continent, and sacrificing the True Thieves of the Flesh as the final offering to Huei'Huei-Naktokatl's ancient bargain. He crawls out of his Temple-Palace, a rotting husk of skin and bones. He coldly snatches a blood-obsidian knife and plunges it into his own chest, ripping his still-beating heart out. He devours it whole then smashes it under the glare of Huei'Huei-Metzhuotl's blood-red moon. As blood gushes from his mouth, he flashes a maniacal grin and addresses his followers, issuing a final command: KOKOTÖNA

Mirror images of Makizkoatl scultupres, two-headed snakes. with the text "First came HER Then came HER MATE"

She is a fool. The puzzles she has spent years trying to solve are missing pieces. And even if these pieces were found, would she be able to repair them? Or would the cracks trace their way from the past into the future?

#Mörktober Day 7: Shard

Cyathea, Healer of Potshards

Obsessive collector of fragments from broken civilizations. She believe these are clues left behind by the clay giants of the north and by piecing them back together she will be able to stave off the same cracks which led to their destruction.
