Planetary Tales: Science Fantasy Role-Playing Game - Aquarian Design | DriveThruRPG Planetary Tales is a science fantasy roleplaying game inspired by the planetary romance tales of Edgar Rice Burroughs and Robert E. Howard in turn of the century pulps such as Argosy, Planet Stories, ...

If you want to read my previous game, you can for free! I've learned a lot since then and have changes already in mind:
- A new Effort system that will step down die types (d12 down to d1) and introduce Complications.
- Luck attribute as a new resource.
- & more!

After a few years off, I'm participating in #PocketQuest again this year! My untitled game will be a spiritual successor to Planetary Tales, a d12 roll under game I made a few years ago that I am very proud of! It will be rewritten from the ground up with a more curated experience in mind.

Did you know that you can fit ~40 standard sized playing cards, five dice, and a rules sheet printed on the back of a J-card inside a cassette case without posts? Do something with this knowledge.

Some #ttrpg updates since my last post 11 (!) months ago:
- Written down countless ideas for future rainy days.
- Started playtesting and updating my science-fantasy game, Planetary Tales.
- Began reading through Millennium's End and I am fascinated by it. Planning on tinkering with the mechanics.

Made a 24-word #ttrpg for a game jam on itch. It's (vaguely) fantasy, d20, and also a character sheet. In my mind, this was the type of game I would be least likely to write on my own, and I challenged myself to create it in the simplest way possible. It also fits perfectly on a business card!

Hello all! Looking forward to posting and networking about TTRPG design as 2024 kicks off. Forever looking for feedback and different perspectives on mechanics. So far I've published 2 games for PocketQuest I'd like to rework/expand and chip away at my ever-growing list of ideas! #TTRPGIntro
