Description

I am the creater of  gritandire.com (game manual links on website, website is free and hosts character sheets). I can provide free copies of manuals for play testers. No purchase necessary. contact me on discord for details. I am looking for a group of 2-8 playtesters to make charactes for a one-shot battle arena scenario. The goal is to test the battle arena idea but also to test the website. I have designed this game after over 30 years of running games and studying over 200 different games. I wanted a specific ruleset which was more intuitive and immersive to play. I wanted as little meta as possible and simple arbitration for player characters to be able to interact with the gritty game world as described and percieved intuitively. The setting is a unique fantasy setting with a unique take on typical fantasy 'race' tropes Some key mechanics features; no HP, instead wounds are debuffs Classless (templates and callings help guide build types) synergy skills customized magic- ire 'soul damage' is suffered for each spell cast instead of points or spells per day

Free Grit and Ire (DD Killer!) info sessions!

Finally, a DnD Killer? Do you enjoy TTRPGs but dissatisfied with current manifestation of DnD and its alternatives? Are you looking for a well designed modern game that utilizes modern design innovations while also focusing on player experience over profits? Grit and Ire is a modern streamlined immersion focused gaming engine. It has a 100% free dedicate website for character sheets and spells. I am a solo-developer of this game. I have hired a few artists to help with some art, and a web developer to make the website. I absolutely will not and do not use AI! I will be online for about 2 hours every day to talk about the game and help people make spells and characters if it interests them.  I will also use this time to try to organize play groups for interested parties. This will be free until January. In January I made run some free sessions but play will be paid. I need some help with development so I am looking for contributors wthat will help me dedicate myself and my time to developing this game which I believe is needed in todays climate of Hasbro type megacorp AI slop soulless profiteering. There ar two potential play modes at this time #1 Kingdom Campaign You and a party will start off in a land torn by war. The King's army was defeated and the invaders forces have split. You will need to navigate through a time of uncertainty as various factions compete for control of the lands. This will go from about level 1 to 10 and potentially beyond (I will need to continue to develope materials to play to higher levels) #2 Arena This will be a large PvP player tourney with a surprising amount of roleplay and non-combat play. It will be mostly managed as a play by post between battles.  Battles will be live in person or played out by post depending on the group's ability to organize play time. Play by post will be used in the case that groups cannot find common play times.  Battles can also be one-shots for groups of 2 to 8 players.  I am also looking for people interested in live-play for free live sessions of the arena to promote and show off the game.  People who already have an audience would be great. Anyone participating will be able to use the product on their own channels.

1-on-1
One Game Master and one player - no party to coordinate with.
Homebrew
House rules, a custom setting, or a system the Game Master wrote themselves.
    Concept:    Nameless and Forsaken, you trudge through an endless Dungeon. A Rougelike experience.  You crawl out of the ground, shivering and confused; a Torch is  the only light.  A body lay before you, A Sword  besides it. You are not alone in the Dark. Tone: Forboding and unforgiving. You bleed and fall, the poison fills your lungs & darkens your eyes. The Antitoxin in your hand, your guts in the other. This was lighly inspired by the works of Plastiboo, I see this setting as a chance for players to play a classic dungeon crawl that is combat focused with exploration being dangerous and rewarding. You will die in this Dungeon, many times. That is the point. I see this as a playground for players to challenge and test out their characters against the worst there is. How deep can you go before you wounds are too much and you buckle under the weight of your armor?
