Origins
Before developing Crest Saga, we were just a small group of friends that rolled math rocks and hallucinated vividly together. We came together through a mixture of online and in-person interactions. Our group started off with four nerds that came together weekly to play various TTRPGs. We went through several systems and campaigns: heroic conquests, humiliating TPKs, and a smattering of laughter. Eventually, we decided to start our own TTRPG with all the things we loved. October 2022, we started developing Crest Saga.   
Our group grew and so did our imaginations. We wanted a system that shook off the chains of classes and added mechanical freedom to character creation. We wanted simplified rolling but enough crunch to satiate the munchkins in us. We wanted room for Roleplaying as well as epic combats. We created a world of fantasy with a system to support any world we could imagine. We took all the things we loved and shaped them into Crest Saga.
We have put our heart and soul into this game. We hope that our system can help support your own epic Sagas. Roleplaying games are special since to be in a world of make-believe, you invest a part of yourself. You explore different sides of the human experience with friends, or strangers; online or in-person. We wanted to make a system to light the imagination but most importantly, bring friends together.
Thank you for letting our system be a part of your tables.

Join us as Kellie, Megan, Anshin and I review of Apocalypse the Risen!
https://rustedportal.com/
As the Seven Seals were broken and the Veil of Shrouded Death was torn, the Purgatory of Torment yawned wide. Souls of the past were ripped from their existence in the Grey and found new homes in earthly bodies of the dead. Corpses awoke from their graves and twisted into reanimation. Known as Risen. These zombies must feed or decay and Humanity is on the menu. Demons found new pathways out of the Lower Realm of Perdition to Prime Earth in order to kill, torment, and enslave Humanity. Supernatural magic mined from deep within Purgatory itself poured into our beloved Earth granting all sorts of mystical wonders and untold horrors, including mutated monstrosities from newly formed Darklands. Survival in this apocalypse requires grit, desire, skill, and maybe a little bit of luck. So join us in the fight! Buy your copy today and join the Rusted Portal Colony. We are not alone against the Darkness. Three new Ancestries battle alongside humankind. Descended—Fallen celestials from three angelic banners, each gaining unique powers. Progeny—Half-demons inherit abilities and physical traits from their demonic sire. Lazarus—Free spirits escaped from the Purgatory of Torment, whole again on Earth. Nine new Character Classes allow you to decide how to battle the horrors ravaging Earth. Arbiter—Purveyor of Justice Conservator—Sacred Earth Protector Enforcer—Hardened Killer Harbinger—Cosmic Mystic Hound—Self-reliant Survivor Jackal—Ultimate Scavenger Maverick—Consummate Gunslinger Shepherd—Spiritual Compass Splicer—Tech Wizard

An interview with John Lemay and 5E Inspired by the National Parks

5E Inspired by the National Parks
Is it true there is a primordial below Yellowstone? Check out this awesome Kickstarter!
20 awesome encounters in US National Parks, with battle maps, monsters and voice acting.
 
Elements of 5E Inspired by the National Parks come as a coherent pdfs.  For example, there is a picture
of the battle map that has "room numbers" overlaid on it. Then there is "box text" that describes
those "rooms".  Finally, the box text has an embedded audio file so that when you click on it the
pdf reads the box text.  
 
Additionally, all the digital files also come separate from the pdf so that you can easily upload
the maps, monsters, video and audio into your favorite virtual table top or creatively incorporate
them as separate elements into your in-person campaign.
Please follow them on Facebook as well at https://www.facebook.com/NationalParks5E
Lets all help this Kickstarter reach its goal on March 24th, 2021!

Interview with Justin Oldham and A.C.: AFTER COLLAPSE

*Reposted from https://creativeplayandpodcastnetwork.podbean.com *
This weekend I got to have a great interview with Justin Oldham a writer, gamer and RPG developer who has written A.C.: AFTER COLLAPSE a post-apocalyptic role-playing game set after civilization has come to a slow, bitter end.
"If your thinking of building a game, then do it!"
This Role-Playing game offers a detailed post-Collapse environment filled with opportunities for adventure and discovery. Player Characters, known as “Survivors,” cautiously explore through the dangerous ruins of once-great metropolises. A.C.: AFTER COLLAPSE uses a d20-based game mechanic, a classless character generation system and a Character Point (CP) system that rewards players when they complete scenario and campaign goals, allowing them to improve attributes and acquire new skills.
“A.C.: After Collapse is a post-apocalyptic tabletop RPG with a customizable D20 architecture that allows referees and players to experience this genre in as much or as little detail as they want. The game includes basic rules and individual source books that expand on a variety of topics. It is supported by a product line of novels and anthologies that use the power of fiction to provide a big backstory. There is something for everyone, no matter how much or how little experience they have with RPGs or this genre.”
