Oh shoot it's been forever since my last post. I've been hard at work on balancing things, like giving Guardians more options at Level 1, reducing the damage output of Soul Warriors, and even adding a bunch of silly, niche Abilities for each class.

I'm streaming a playtest of TOGWITO Expanded in about 20 minutes! I'm so excited to start properly running the game, and I hope y'all come and check it out!

Anyone wonder what I'm talking about?
Yeah, me too.
Maybe at least one of us will learn this Sunday!

The final species in the base release of TOGWITO is the Gargoyle! They were created by humans in an attempt to create mindless workers.
They somehow failed the "mindless" part, and created a sentient species that they then had to teach how to be Alive™
#indiettrpg #TOGWITO #TTRPG #gamedev
Star Children are a rather strange species, being made entirely of magic, and capable of manipulating it even more closely than even a maeflai would be.
That being said, they're somewhat fragile to non-magical damage, and often end up overexerting themselves...
#indiettrpg #TOGWITO #TTRPG #gamedev
Charms are small, slightly fragile trinkets that Heroes can equip for two effects: a simple passive effect while it sticks around, and a very powerful effect for when the Charm is shattered. [4/4]
#indiettrpg #TOGWITO #TTRPG #gamedev
wow this was a long Bit
What may people don't realize is how hopeless one feels when dishonored - to the extent that, when someone regains their honor, it causes so much hope in their soul that it overflows, creating a physical item: a Charm [3/4]
#indiettrpg #TOGWITO #TTRPG #gamedev
Someone who's been Dishonored is unlikely to be accepted into society, as they're likely to cause severe problems until they can "regain" their honor by, essentially, developing a new moral code. [2/4]
#indiettrpg #TOGWITO #TTRPG #gamedev
It's said that every being has a part of their soul made of Honor. When someone repeatedly breaks their own Honor, violating their moral code time & time again, their soul will be physically damaged. [1/4]
#indiettrpg #TOGWITO #TTRPG #gamedev
Slimes are mimics, and that carries over in the rate case that they eat a person - it'll mimic the person upon absorbing their soul, becoming a slimefolk! They're usually pretty similar to the original person, with some fuzzy memories and a new, goopy body.
#indiettrpg #TOGWITO #TTRPG #gamedev
Slimes are strange creatures - a young, immature slime is referred to as a Blank Slime, and in order to nature, it must eat things! Slimes turn into something similar to what they eat, like a Metal Slime, Grass Slime, or even something as odd as a Bread Slime!
#indiettrpg #TOGWITO #TTRPG #gamedev
A fae's laws are absolute, and cannot be broken without a specific type of contract. If a fae can't touch dead leaves, and you try to throw them into a pile, they'll hover past it, like a pair of north magnets.
#indiettrpg #TOGWITO #TTRPG #gamedev
It's said that a fae is created when someone makes a rule that makes no sense. Each fae has their own set of laws that they're incapable of violating, like being unable to eat alone, or even being physically incapable of touching dead leaves.
#indiettrpg #TOGWITO #TTRPG #gamedev
Fairies are kinda like "sky golems," almost? They're what happens when a Soul collects into the clouds, mixes with the magic in the atmosphere.
Their wings are made of crystalline light and ice, and aside from being a weak point, they're totally useless.
#indiettrpg #TOGWITO #TTRPG #gamedev
They then turn these memories into dreams, in order to feed on the emotions created. Some make nightmares to feed on fear, others make nonsense to feed on confusion, and so on.
Outside the Sea of Hearts, they're emotivores who treat relationships like farming.
#indiettrpg #TOGWITO #TTRPG #gamedev
Another species from the Sea of Hearts - I'll explain eventually, don't work - is the Somnus. They're beings who dwell inside of people's hearts and gather the ambient memories - like harvesting pollen from the air. [1/2]
#indiettrpg #TOGWITO #TTRPG #gamedev
Selkies are the body that gets left behind. They tend to wake up with no memories, personality or Heart. Though they usually will slowly develop a replacement, it's never as complex as other people's hearts. The very least, they're strong and durable.
#indiettrpg #TOGWITO #TTRPG #gamedev
"Sirens are what happens when your emotive core(s) become a whole being. They're usually incredibly emotional, and often lack a body for some time.
Once they do get a body, it's often how the original person viewed themselves, making them hard to recognize."

I also plan on releasing a paid expansion, which will include a bunch of additional races for pre-existing species, and even Archetypes, which will function like simplified "subclasses"
It'll also have a very long campaign that goes from levels 1 through 10!
#indiettrpg #TOGWITO #TTRPG #gamedev
Happy New Year!
I am hoping to get TOGWITO released this year - the base game will be free, with a decently-sized campaign included.
#indiettrpg #TOGWITO #TTRPG #gamedev
Elves also exist! They're wandering hunter-gatherers with delicate hearing and sharp senses.
They tend to be slightly strange, the type to vanish into the woods for a year without noticing, but they're just as kind as anyone else.
#indiettrpg #TOGWITO #TTRPG #gamedev
They also dig triangular tunnels, as their bodies are also triangular, with large feet and smaller heads.
#indiettrpg #TOGWITO #TTRPG #gamedev
I mentioned dwarfs before, yeah? They're very short, strong people, known for mining and tinkering, often creating overly complex machines for even the simplest of tasks.
#indiettrpg #TOGWITO #TTRPG #gamedev
Dang looks like my phone was being weird in the Dryad post, sorry.
The last form of Nymph is the Naiad, basically a water spirit. They're incredibly susceptible to pollution, but can also empower their stats when they're Wet.
#indiettrpg #TOGWITO #TTRPG #gamedev
Dryads are the feminine form of nymphs, and usually take the form of plant women.
Do you hear my voice?lants in their hair, much like a Portable Planter, letting it grow as they travel.
#indiettrpg #TOGWITO #TTRPG #gamedev
Oreads often live alongside dwarfs, helping them dig - though, they're much more reckless than dwarfs, so they tend to leave the finer details to their shorter friends.
#indiettrpg #TOGWITO #TTRPG #gamedev
Oreads are the first nymph I'll talk about. They're basically the masculine gender of the species, though most people think they're their own species.
Their skin is basically coated in stone, and they're strong enough to punch through solid rock!
#indiettrpg #TOGWITO #TTRPG #gamedev
I've already brought up ahaeth, the alien shapeshifters that created psionics. They come from a distant planet called Canthrapa, which is an artificial world created by their leaders, The Higher - a council of 10 ahaeth with immense power.
#indiettrpg #TOGWITO #TTRPG #gamedev
Maeflai are one of the oldest original species for TOGWITO! They're magical demihumans, and allow you to choose a magical Bond, as well as their species, which provides an upside and a downside. Just be careful, because they have the most weaknesses of anyone!
#indiettrpg #TOGWITO #TTRPG #gamedev
