We're almost ready! The new Kickstarter is going to launch soon, and I can't wait! After two years, we're back with new supplements, custom dice, dice trays, and all the goodies we weren't ready to create for the first campaign. And for everyone new to the game, there's going to be an option to get the whole set, along with the core rulebook! If you're interested, sign up now - there are going to be additional rewards for early Backers, so make sure you get notified the moment the campaign is live: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/dfnt/defiant-rpg-reign-and-legacy/

Defiant Role Playing Game Nominated for Origins Awards this year, DriveThruRPG Platinum bestseller, Defiant RPG is an urban fantasy game about the mighty, modern-day supernaturals, who rebelled against their destiny and, instead of destroying the world, decided to protect it. By enforcing a demanding set of rules, the Defiant aristocracy empowers protective seals around their cities, making them the only safe havens in a world ravaged by the Apocalypse.

Defiant Reign This supplement focuses on different aspects of being a supernatural ruler in the world of Defiant. Defiant Reign introduces new court positions, rules for using political factions in the game, an in-depth description of Defiant laws and the justice system, and a guide to creating your own Provinces and Domains. The players are treated to a set of new Personal, Court, and Marital Themes focused on leadership, schemes, politics, and intrigues.

Defiant Legacy The life of a Defiant ruler is never only about politics. Defiant Legacy focuses on the more private and intimate part of royal life. The supplement explores the intricate dynamics of raising heirs, royal marriages, matchmaking, weddings, and debuts. In Defiant Legacy, players can embrace new Marital Themes, offering the unique role of a Consort—an important figure in the world of aristocracy.

A little while ago I played in a Bionicle based TTRPG system like D&D by Redstar Gaming called Dorai Nui as a Toa of Plantlife named Whakatau (Also known as Whaka for short or “Weed Boy”) This Campaign took place in an AU version of Bionicle’s events where the OG Toa Mata arrived on Mata Nui on time instead of floating 1000 years at sea and losing their memories. The Makuta did not have enough time to prepare for them and was swiftly defeated and Mata Nui was revived and reformed Spherus Magna. During the Bionicle Story During the events of the main Bionicle storyline Whakatau was a Matoran living on the Southern Continent and witnessed to both events of the Island of Voya Nui getting launched into the sky and getting stuck up there, and then it's decent back down and rejoining with the Continent. Had he been any closer he could have ended up being one of the poor saps brainwashed by the Piraka or in Mahri Nui the coastal city that fell beneath the waves. Matoran After acclimating to living on the surface of Spherus Magna Whakatau became part of a Matoran Search & Rescue squad living out in the untamed wilderness outside of the city, taking care of the forest and coming to the help of Matoran who get lost or injured out there and were often in difficult locations to get to. They can't always expect the Toa to help while they are busy fighting for the fate of the universe, so somebody has to act on smaller everyday incidents. He and the other Matoran Rangers were on duty to traverse the wilderness, get into difficult places that other Matoran can't reach and bring the matoran back while also tending to their injuries. As a result he has learned to be very fast on his feet and looks for the quickest path from point A to point B traversing over obstacles in his path. While in the forest he was at home, the city has proven to be difficult for him to navigate because his parkour tactics has gotten him lost and stuck on top of skyscrapers more than once. He also is a trained Medic and is able to quickly patch up injuries to keep people alive and moving. New Toa It was thanks to his exceptional skills in search and rescue that Whakatau was chosen to be the new Toa of Plantlife, his Hiking staff and Grappling hook transformed with him to become a Bo-Staff with a Grappling Claw at the end which he could shoot out towards a target in order to grab hold and then pull them to him or quickly zipp over to them. Having little to no social skills and feeling uncomfortable in the big city Whaka was slow to open up to his companions but was determined to use his skills to help them, even if he wouldn't be getting the most glory from it he could use his control of plant life to debilitate enemies and make them easier for the stronger members of the team to hit. At the time the team included Whaka himself (The Medic) Keeps the rest of the team up while keeping the enemies down Vaphi the Toa of Sonics (The Engineer) Builds the gear and machines Vojakua the Toa of Plasma (The Blacksmith) Builds the weapons and armor Parkur the Toa of Iron (The Muscle) Is the big guy with a really big sword who hits really hard Koqunui the Toa of Ice (The Element Crafter) Is the one who's very good at using her elemental powers to make objects and structures and Aruuko the Toa of Stone (The Veteran) Been a Toa longer than the rest of the team and knows the job On their first mission they were tasked with dealing with some criminal activity in the city which turned out to be the work of the Dark Hunters. They managed to intercept a deal going on in a warehouse. Then things suddenly went very south as the Right-hand Lady in charge of the New Dark Hunters set off an explosion that killed Aruuko and Koqunui, and left Whakatau with a black burn scar on his mask. Following that mission Whakatau reluctantly decided to take on the role of Leader of the team in order to keep the rest of his companions safe, but he also developed a darker vindictive side especially towards all Dark Hunters. As a Toa he's not supposed to kill, but he started to grow a fondness for using his plants as torture devices, such as: Poison, Blinding Pollen, Acid, Stinging Needles, Burrowing thorny vines, and his signature torture method, a super Hot Pepper that deals Chemical Fire damage like Napalm which he appropriately named "The Makuta's Piss" (Inspired off of a cop I knew describing being Pepper Sprayed like being pissed in the face by the Devil!) And Whaka had a special exception for the Right hand leader of the Dark Hunters who he wanted to make suffer for the deaths of his companions before breaking the Toa Code and finishing her. The Dark Hunters and Makutas In our time as Toa we met and fought many Dark Hunters and and other criminals within and outside of the city, but nothing could prepare us for our first Makuta! For those not familiar with Bionicle the Makuta are the most terrifying of all enemies, basically equivalent to a Devil, however this Makuta named Zalos was a little different than the previous generation of Makutas. First off the old Makuta had made themselves into beings of Gas and Energy contained within a mechanical body, these Makuta had not grown to that point and were still partially organic. Second these Makuta were created by Mata Nui after the original Makuta Coup d'etat, his purpose for making them was unknown but after the betrayal of the first Makuta people were very distrusting of the new ones. There used to be 10 of them, now there were only 4 remaining. Third and most importantly while the original makuta has a tendency towards being sociopathic, these new Makuta are more neutral. Initially our team was very wary when Makuta Zalos just showed up in New Metru Nui and decide to make himself at home, we wanted to stop him and Parkur himself even attempted to face him alone, but being only new Toa we didn't stand a chance even if we tried, and it turned out we didn't even need to fight him because Zalos wasn't trying to be a threat to anybody, he just wanted a place to settle down, collect art, and become a gameshow host. Our team ended up becoming friends with him and he became a trusted informant having Rahkshi all over the city allowing him to monitor criminal activity. Zalos would eventually open up to Whaka about what happened his 6 fallen fellow Makuta, they were killed off by other Toa. Zalos's Makuta sister couldn't even bring herself to fight back before she died, and Zalos briefly contemplated revenge but knew if he went down that direction it would only prove those Toa correct and perpetuate the cycle of hate and violence. Being reminded of his own fallen companions Whaka started to introspect on his own cruelty and hunger for revenge, if a Makuta could overcome the temptation to hate then what did that make him, and if he started killing for his own satisfaction would he be perpetuating his own cycle of hate? He then further started to question how he thought about the Dark Hunters when he met one who only joined Dark Hunters to help her Toa friend who had fallen ill and needed an expensive medicine. Rather than seeing all Dark Hunters as the worst scum on the planet made up of only psychos and monsters, Whaka started to see them as people. While he could probably never bring himself to forgive the Dark Hunters who murdered his friends, he was no longer going to let them make him a monster too. New Friends After saving the Toa friend of the sympathetic Dark Hunter, the New Metru Nui team returned to the city awaiting two new members of the Team: Glacius the Toa of Ice and Fire (The Tank) He was a Matoran from Karzahni (Bionicle equivalent of Hell) who had been experimented on and became a badass with two large shields to be an unstoppable wall that charges in and beats the enemies faces in with his Shields! And Ingram the Toa of Air (The Driver) Ingram was Glacius's best friend after Glacius was freed from Karzahni, he was a Merchant, he owned a large truck we ended up using as a mobile base, and he had a bit of imposter syndrome over being picked to be a Toa and not feeling like he earned it. The Newly complete Team would stop a Drug problem going on in New Ko-Metru and together bring down the Rahi-Nui a Monstrous Chimera of several powerful Rahi Monsters created by the Old Makuta, and Whaka would change his main Mask from the Kanohi Huna (Mask of Concealment) to the Kanohi Kadin (Mask of Flight) representing how he no longer feels the need to Lurk and Hide, now his main focus is being Mobile and being able to get to all his allies on the battlefield to do what he initially set out to do in the first place: Keep his allies up and support them! Ingram would occasionally go off on his own with the Truck to get shipments completed committed to his previous job as a Merchant and delivery driver...but after not coming back from one of his runs the team would eventually find the Truck broken and Ingram missing. We wouldn't know till later but Ingram would eventually turn up dead. Before discovering the death of Ingram, Whaka found the Shadowed One leader of the Dark Hunters and his Right hand Lady in the city! He decided to pursue them only to get information, but when he realized they were going to escape the city in a Submarine Whaka decided this time he could not let them get away and chased them on the back of a SHARK till he caught up with the Sub and trapped them in a tangle of Kelp like a giant Plant-based Kraken! The two abandoned ship and retreated back to land but Whaka would not let them go and stood his ground against them enduring attacks while he waited for his team to show up for backup and they certainly came! Together we defeated the Shadowed One and Righty and then brought them to Justice by not killing them but trapping them forever in a crystalized Protodermis Toa Seal, and as a reward Whakatau claimed Right's Sword and The Shadowed One's Plasma Axe, then with the help of Vaphi and Vojakua they combined the two weapons into 1 Plasma Sword which Whaka named "Dark Hunter" The Team could not celebrate long though because right after Ingram would turn up dead, Glacius would go bezerk on his own personal revenge quest to find the murderer who killed Ingram and eliminate him, and Whakatau had a depressive episode thinking he's failed to be a good leader and now one of his teammates died under his watch when that was the very thing he had tried to prevent. Glacius would knock some sense into Whaka both figuratively and literally as they decided to have a sparring match and let their emotions out. Glacius kicked Whaka's ass and the two of the felt better afterwards as well as solidified their own friendship. Then they beat the Dark Hunter who killed Ingram by ramming him with the Truck and Glacius blew him up...Whaka may have decided that revenge is not the right path, but Glacius is the more pragmatic of the two of them and saw no sense in letting a serial killer continue to live. Glacius was put on trial for breaking the Toa code but was pardoned. In the End In the Final Session our team would take on the Toa Killer Robot Marendar with the help of the allies we made up to this point such as the 4 remaining Makuta and the Entire Bohrok Hoard! Parkur went off to be a Parole Officer to the remaining Dark Hunters and help them start a new organization for good, The ended up making a Rock Band. Vojakua decided to go look for a Rogue Toa of Plasma who had used his powers irresponsibly and needed to be stopped before he hurt anybody else. Whakatau, Glacius, and Vaphi remained in the city continuing to protect for many more years to come. Glacius became the Co-host on Makuta Zalos's Game show Vaphi invented Robot Hounds to help aid in Search and Rescue missions when the Toa can't be around. And Whakatau runs a Farm near the City which helps provide Food, Medicinal Plants, and Combustable Lemons that can be used as Grenades.

#RPGCovers (Week 7)

Jiangshi: Blood in the Banquet Hall (2021)

Kwanchai Moriya Steven Wu

There’s so much to like with this one. But everytime I look at it I imagine this as a movie or limited-series drama poster. It has that sweeping scale– multiple figures with a dominant vertical line (in this case the Jiangshi). Like a Fast & the Furious poster, which, of course, is also all about family.

That figure of the jiangshi is interesting in a couple of other regards. It’s a monster, with the telltale signs of the undead (skull face, skeletal hands). But it's also beautiful. Was it once a human or some spirit born to look sympathetic. It’s dressed as the other figures, though more ornately with the hair bangles. But importantly it sets the color contrast: cooler greens and blues of the jiangshi versus the warmer oranges, yellows, and reds of the domestic figures, our protagonists.

These’ aren’t “Iconic Hero” PC images we’re used to. It’s a family, at least three generations, all working hard and not aware of the supernatural manifestations around them. Or studiously ignoring them. The other magical figure, the dragon, shares colors with the family, perhaps protecting them.

It’s a cover that holds together amazingly well, tells a story, and makes you ask even more questions about the details of the game itself.

I finally played Crest Saga the other day and it was a BLAST. Highly recommend checking it out, they have a discord and are still running play tests. I played a pre-gen named Amal. They are a performer who worships the night sky.

The way I’d drop everything to make an actual play with the caveat that everyone in the group is named Bee. I’d allow some variance like we can have a Bumble, a Hornet, Your Wasps and Yellowjackets of the world. All are acceptable, but the prime shit is Bee, Bea etc.

We could call it the Hive Cast or something. And we’d rotate GMs every now and then, and it’d be on the audience to figure out who’s who cuz we’re all bees. It’d probably be shorter arcs so we can rotate players (cuz ideally we want a lot of Bees). Imagine a moment of a GM giving an excellent narration of Urban Horror or something and then followed up by

“Okay Bee I need you to roll 2D6”

Followed by the sounds of unanimous passive agreement and upwards of 8-12 6 sided dice clanking on various tables at the same time only for the GM to go “No No I mean the Bee who plays the werewolf” and then a sea of “oh okay! Sorry Bee” “oopsies” “damn and it was a good roll too”

Its to funny. I’d watch it. I’d make it! Hell my names Bee let me be the first GM!

I don’t ask for clout frequently Tungle.io

But I need this one to breach containment. I need to meet my hive. My black and yellow alcove is in need of social enrichment

Allow me to introduce myself to those of you I have yet to meet!

I am GamerMomLuna. I wandered over from Twitter, but have actually had a Tumblr since... like... 2013? I'm a TTRPG enthusiast and writer for the blog Shadomain. I have several years of experience streaming TTRPG actual plays, podcasting work, and voice over work too! Most people know me from being super active in the TTRPG community on Twitter, and also from a three year interview stream on Twitch. You can find the last two seasons of it by clicking the image.

It was a fantastic show that just wrapped up recently. I really enjoyed and learned a lot from doing! You can see my thoughts about running the show here.

I'm hoping to meet up with other TTRPG enthusiasts - content creators, writers, artists, dice makers, hobbyists... if you love TTRPGs, I want to get to know you!
