In 2019, I was diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma. Faced with my own mortality, I decided to create a game to play w/my family. 6 yrs later, I'm cancer free & proud to publish the open beta playtest version of WONDER × WORLDS—available for FREE! 1/ wonderxworlds.itch.io/wonder-worlds

Downloadable TTRPG

Colin Kahl @colinkahl.bsky.social · 11h

For those new to WONDER × WORLDS, it’s a giant, geeky labor of love 6 years in the making. It’s a universal TTRPG engine, mixing Old School and New School sensibilities, that empowers storytelling in any fantastical world imaginable. And it supports both GM-led and solo play.

Check this out, a complete and free game on playtesting. I did an island map for this in a style a bit different of what I'm used to.

We're reaching the end of the Dragon Slayers campaign! I would love to hit $15k, so any boosts and support are greatly appreciated!

(also that Dragon Horde tier is still available, just saying)
