Antiquarian Games

Antiquarian is a player-centric TTRPG studio consisting of a few plucky nerds that never shut up. Website: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/antqgames/lore-tabletop-rpg #TTRPG #Indiegames #Gamedesign #Tabletop

New hero booklets featuring Power Guardians from Action Flicks volume 3 for Outgunned, the cinematic action RPG by Two Little Mice, are now available through my Ko-fi shop! Includes 6 colored variations to match the 6 color tropes for Power Guardians 👍

Massively cleaned up our Kickstarter for L.O.R.E. It now feels significantly more official. Professional? Whatever it is, it feels great. I built this game by myself in my off hours and it spawned a studio, a team, and now a funding campaign. Couldn't be happier, friends.

My name is Rebecca Reyes and I draw all of the maps for my Sigils books, including this massive 'world' map. World is in quotes because humans have not actually explored their whole starter continent. This surface realm is called (mostly by humans) the Overworld — where living things mostly reside.

The full, inky, black and white map for the Sigils books by Rebecca E. Reyes.

It shows dozens of cities and landmarks in the Omeran Empire's five territories: Northern Omera, Southern Omera, Province of Alderia, the Kingdom of Delamar, and the Terralia Islands.

Navikula has an unnatural fog of war. Omerans don't know what's over there anymore. Only what's just beyond the wall and on the southern shore.

Way south is the Singing Woods, hiding Syneth, with lakes on the canopies where the southern border ends. Otherwise, the west is blocked off by mountains and the ocean seems endless, hence why it's called the Endless Ink.

Beasts drawn on the map are a kraken in the water, a dragon among the basalt and volcanoes, a harpy automaton at the Navikulan Border Wall, unicorns in the Singing Woods, a calygreyhound in the Valley of the beasts, and a gloom spider in Navikula's void.

There’s a big turtle with a jungle on her back in the corner.

Hey hey everyone, welcome to our awesome new map game! We're here to celebrate our love for fictional maps all month long! Before we start poring over details, let's start with the basics: tell us who you are and a little bit about your world. And don't forget to share your map! #Cartaugust 🪐 📚️

The background is an image of maps on a rack heavily colored by sepia.
#Cartaugust
a prompt game for map nerds! by @mcburnellauthor.bsky.com
Intro: Da1, Say Hello
Introduce us to yourself and your world. Don't be shy, share your map! What's it called? Who created the art?
**Don't forget the alt text. I know it's hard to know what to inlcide with images that are really info-dense, but do your best.

#SelfPromoSaturday time once again! Show off your artwork, #TTRPG projects, sale, #rpg kickstarter or anything you're proud of! - No GenAI/Tech bro stuff (blocked if you do) - Like + share - NSFW = OK but hide/spoiler/etc it! - Alt-text as much as possible please! - 1 per person (to keep it fair)!

For #selfpromosaturday I'll talk about WHY our girl, Sifa, is so deadly. LORE is a d20 game, but it merges new design with old school concepts. Mainly, this game is deadly. Players have both an Endurance AND Hit Point pool. The former isn't deadly, but the latter? Ouch. 🧵⬇️

Just a quiet gnomish village, home to one of the most deadly assassins in the Shattered Lands. A bit of lore from the L.O.R.E. #ttrpg for your day.

Build your legend, master your build, create your story. Check out the new, incredible cover art for the L.O.R.E. #ttrpg Player's Companion, featuring our cannon "Legendaries". Couldn't be happier with the art and our assembled crew. Want to know more? Get the prelaunch 🔗⬇️

A full cover of the LORE Player's Guide featuring its legendary characters, from left to right: Takeko (Sword Saint), Ixl-Kryt (Priest), Alethia (Valkyre), Sifa (Assassin), Kvasir (Druid), and Geriant (Ranger). 

All of the characters are in action poses, fighting as they're surrounded, with various creatures manifested in smoke to illustrate the myriad encounters the legends have dealt with.

Ah, the quiet town of Emirith Sol. It'd be a shame if it were attacked by a dragon. Or a lich. ...at the same time. Follow the adventure as classic evils converge on the most ill-fated sight-seeing tour in the L.O.R.E. #ttrpg Actual Play, premiering along our Kickstarter! 🔗🔽

We're fresh off our first convention presence and HOT DAMN am I pleased. The interest in L.O.R.E. was stellar--every time I said "D&D x Final Fantasy Tactics" our booth goers went 👀 Almost 100 mailing list sign ups, lots of new friends (who won free dice) and a great time.

I've been reworking 5e for three years. While I'm getting ready for the kickstarter, there is a way to access the progress I've made so far. As well as funding it and my general existence! Patrons have access to the playtest! #SelfPromoSaturday #TTRPG #DnD www.patreon.com/posts/6th-da...

Setting up for Ragecon in #reno for the weekend, we're officially live at our first physical presence hawking some #ttrpg goodness, friends. If you feel like you're missing out, never fear, all the resources here are available on our website! 🔗⬇️

We'll be our first REAL, physical presence starting tomorrow at Ragecon in #reno, hopefully to drum up some excitement for L.O.R.E. and meet some real #ttrpg nerds. We are 100% over-prepped, ready to chat into infinity, and I'm assuming we've already forgotten 20 things.
