The massive sylvan environment of our upcoming weird fantasy RPG, The Snarl, can be divided into four distinct zones/layers—and a fifth otherworldly outlier.

@hebanongames.bsky.social running @posthumanstudios.com Eclipse Phase campaign for RPPR.

I think it was the first game I listened to that grappled with big ideas.

For tons of folks, there was that -one- game that blew the doors open and showed what #TTRPGs could be. The one that started the #IndieGame rabbit hole.

What was YOUR "gateway" indie #TTRPG? The first one that made you realize a whole other world was out there?

I remember seeing Eclipse Phase by @posthumanstudios.com in a shop around 2010. I couldn't afford it (and regretfully never did buy it) but it awakened something in me.

I think Numenera by @montecookgames.com was my true gateway drug a couple of years later...

Notches - extra dimensional spaces, big enough for cities.

The Roots - underground. Worm tunnels, buried cities, danger.

The Mulch - the bottom. Dark, murky, muddy, Creep-infested.

Historically, kalioctera communities have leaned towards the matriarchal and polyandrous, with females taking protective and leadership roles and often having numerous male partners.

Kalioctera exhibit sexual dimorphism. Male kalioctera are small, fast, colorful, and capable of flight. Females are much larger and tougher, with horns and more wicked mandibles, though slower and capable of only limited flight (more like assisted jumps, really).

They breathe and talk via spiracles in their abdomen, below their thorax.

Each kalioctera has a chitinous exoskeleton, compound eyes, mandibles, antennae, claws, and six limbs. They have two pairs of wings: hardened protective elytra forewings (not used for flight) and softer hindwings that fold under the elytra for protection.

Kalioctera (kah-LEE-OCT-ur-ah) are a gregarious, wood-boring, herbivorous, beetle-like species. They are masters at crafting elaborate tunnels and homes within the pillars and are known for their artisanal, architectural, and wood-working skills.

Beetle people! Kalioctera are one of the species you can choose from when making a character in The Snarl (our upcoming weird fantasy RPG).
