Alright, let's see if I can jog the follows on this app: I'm a #TTRPG nerd with dreams of being a #screenwriter that just wants to tell #stories for a living. Happy to follow and be followed by anyone that falls anywhere in that (very damn big) Venn diagram.

TERRASTORM: Borderlands by way of Daggerheart.

@spenserstarke.bsky.social, I swear this is the last time I'll tag you in on this. But I'm so proud of what I've made!

Okay so apparently I can't message you on here. I assume you've got your privacy settings cranked up?

Ah, not yet, no. It's a pretty isolated community where I am. I've tried to find good feedback online but good criticism is a skillset unto itself.

Purely digital. It's a little booklet of 42 pages; I don't know that folks would want to print it out.

Sage advice. I'll keep my edits local, then.

Ahahahaha funny you say that, one of the reasons I probably need to step away is that I've done One Last Correction probably about eight or nine times by now.

Does that impact the review time?

Ahhh, I see. I was wondering if this being my first-time submission would affect the process.

Makes a lot of sense, all things considered. I'll go and find something to distract myself with while I wait, I guess.

Just out of curiosity, has anyone else published something through DriveThruRPG?

I'm wondering what the general experience is like regarding approval times.

The absolute HORROR of submitting a manuscript for review and only THEN spotting a spelling error

I should prrrobably post something other than Daggerheart content on here, shouldn't I.

Hhhhhow about the first page from the glorious doom that is my attempt to write a full feature script using trochaic octametric sonnets?

Folks, I give you: THE TIDES INTOXICATING.

Page one.

Look, this is just WAY too much fun: my attempt at making Callis in Borderlands. @spenserstarke.bsky.social, is she apocalyptic enough d'you think?
seanmccann.bsky.social
SeanMcCann @seanmccann.bsky.social · 8d
And that is SUCH a Borderlands vibe

SeanMcCann @seanmccann.bsky.social · 8d
Yeah, I might actually need to come up with some of my own! I feel like the döppelhund from the Void would put up a good fight against a tier one team. Maybe some other upscaled adversaries?

The Glorious Work continues! @spenserstarke.bsky.social - keen on some armour rules to go with the gun mayhem?

(Some much more significant tweaking here; I've tried to standardize the progression of armour. To make up for it, I've put in some cool perks much earlier than they'd turn up in core)

Although, geeze, now I want to try statting up not-Callis (definitely my favorite boss of the game so far).

Wouldn't it be GLORIOUS?? I'm still hammering this out, but it's looking like a promising framework.

Feel free to try it out, if you want!

I am dead keen to find out just how much chaos those guns unleash, mate.

For sure, man! Lemme know how it plays out if you do (and feel free to rename the manufacturers)!

The only truly original material on here is the name of the corporations. Everything else is an iteration of the Daggerheart SRD.

Welp, I couldn't help myself. Here's a single page addendum to Daggerheart that'll hopefully help folks indulge in some Borderlands-esque tomfoolery.

Gonna tag @spenserstarke.bsky.social, because you liked my previous post and I figure you might be interested.

Hmm. Been doing some digging, and it looks like there's been some interesting attempts at BLesque games already. adira.itch.io/gunfucks in particular seems fun.

Don't put ideas like that in my head; I have to fight myself to stick as close to RAW as I can for the campaign I'm currently GMing.
