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.

L.O.R.E is an immense #ttrpg, a product that merges old school strategy with modern mechanics. Our #kickstarter is launching soon, and we're trying to get as much exposure as possible. Help us out with a like, a follow, or a repost! Or... Follow the 🔗⬇️ to follow the campaign itself!

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 🔗⬇️

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.

Writing TSoC's sequel is forcing me to reread it, and I am reminded that I love storytelling. The Soul of Chaos is a crazy romp of Sci-Fantasy, explosive, twisted plots, and a modernized take of epic fantasy. Read it, rate it, let me write more! #novel #epicfantasy 🔗➡️ a.co/d/0i3EXMhn

Vague features are fine and all, but what is it about L.O.R.E. that makes players fall in love? As with all #ttrpgs, it is, inevitably, the characters. --insert sweet intro sizzle reel-- 🧵⤵️

Okay so WHAT is L.O.R.E.? Familiar, but new, LORE takes d20 mechanics and expands upon tight tactical play, while using its systems to still facilitate narrative storytelling. As a #ttrpg, it's designed to facilitate play how YOU want to play, not what the engine demands. #indiegame #rpg 🔗⬇️

Less social meda presence usually means more work is getting done, and that's been exactly the case for us! For #selfpromosaturday in the #ttrpgcommunity, we've got some example spreads for the L.O.R.E. Player Guide. Enjoy some of the details from Book 1:

So far one of my favorite parts of crafting a #ttrpg has been creating characters with my artist, Miranda, from design to render. These are 4 of our 6 "Legend" characters, forming a single party for the official LORE setting. You'll see them through the book and elsewhere, of course.

Yesterday was a design thread on Physiologies (L.O.R.E.'s idea of a "species"), so today we're continuing that dive into Character Creation. Time for step 2, or... Culture! 🦉 Strap in, it's time for another #ttrpg design 🧵⬇️ #indiettrpg #indiestudo #rpg #gamedesign

Apropos of an active conversation in the Antiquarian Discord (we talk games, yo), it's time to learn a bit about L.O.R.E.! 🦉 Or, more specifically, how we do races. Or species. Or whatever it is now. Strap in, folks, it's time for a #ttrpg design 🧵⬇️ #indiettrpg #ttrpgdesign #gamedev

Hey friends! It's #TTRPGRising, and we're looking to find some gaming friends and mutuals. Antiquarian Games is a new #indiettrpg studio with our first game, L.O.R.E. set for crowd funding this summer. Come chat with us about games and maybe find a new one to play!

Art is rolling in for L.O.R.E., our crunchy, narrative system #ttrpg, today in the form of some magic freakin' items. Below is the Dwarven Face Breaker, one of my personal favorites, and The Obsidian Blade, which may or may not be a call out to our creative director's novel

For L.O.R.E., our artist is concepting a party of characters featured in "Legendary Tales". These are the sketches for Tomoe Takeko, and her accompanying NPC block, basically a toned-down character sheet. Takeko's class stack is: Martial Artist (3) Fighter (1) Sword Saint (1) #ttrpg #indiettrpg

Antiquarian is very much a player-focused studio. Sure, we make the game with certain guiding principles, but these games are for people! As a #ttrpg or a digital #rpg player, what keeps draws you into a game? More importantly, what do you think is missing in the market? 🦉

If you noticed that all I'm doing is reposting @antqgames.bsky.social games posts, that'd be because it's ME. I am the Antiquarian. For real though, if you've ever enjoyed my content or like me at all, give 'em a follow and help spread our reach!

In L.O.R.E., our crunchy, D20 #TTRPG, there's six different "origins" of magic, one of the most unique of which is Naming. Bound by the secret physics of reality, Naming taps into universal essence and manipulates it via harmonic vibrations. Namers come in all forms! More ⬇️ #indiettrpg #gamedev

As much as I'd like to avoid the hashtags game, WE NEW, and we need to do some mutual support building. ...bring on the #followfriday, aaaaaaawwwwwwwwwww yea. Bring on the #ttrpg & #gamedev recs, and in exchange, have some cool WIP art from our first game, L.O.R.E.!

Meet Weejit, your guide (and book narrator) to L.O.R.E., our first #fantasy #ttrpg! Weejit's job is to break down LORE's crunch into bite-sized details, and yeah, this game is *crunchy*, with an absolute absurd amount of character options and over 1,000+ powers. What some examples? 🧵⬇️
