Worlds to Follow

For years now I’ve been running a D&D 5e campaign (titled “After the Fall”), and it’s finally coming to a close. We’ve seen the characters grow from level 1 up to level 17, and both saved and doomed the world on more than one occasion. It’s been so much fun playing Dungeon Master for my weird little friends, and I have no intention of giving up the art. Worlds to Follow is my sequel - every little issue I’ve had with D&D, every idea I’ve had in the last two years, and a kitchen sink full of everything I think sounds cool all bundled up into a new TTRPG intended solely for me (and perhaps, if you’re still reading, you).

Game Introduction

• This game is 2d6 based. Compared to d20 systems, this provides considerably less variance on your rolls: you’ll be more consistently good at things your character is good at, and more consistently bad at things they’re bad at.
• This game is magic first. Every player character can cast spells, and I make no guarantee that non-magic-focused characters will feel as powerful or fun as spellcasters. I recommend that you create characters with some balance between physical ability and magical power.
• This game is classless - everyone can do a little bit of everything, including casting spells (your skills determine how good you are at whatever you try). If you want to follow the path of a traditional RPG class, go ahead — but if you want to branch out a bit, that’s allowed too.
• This game is intended to be re-flavoured. Feel free to re-skin anything in the game’s rules to fit whatever concept you have for your character or world (just make sure to maintain the underlying mechanics of any feature you change).
