After painfully advancing at snail pace for the past two weeks or so, these last two days I made a lot of good progress in writing down the (revised) main rules for my TTRPG hobby project! Considering that they were already mostly crystal-clear in my mind 😅
2am now ▶️🛌

TODAY @ 7PM EST: Join us for a suburban adventure in the Duality Actual Play "Can Anyone Hear Me?"

"A stop in the quiet suburb of Ellenville takes an odd turn as we uncover the town's mysterious rules, missing people, corrupt church, and angry gods. Can our party save the day?"

Featuring: ⬇️ 🧵

I maintain that devising a good TTRPG mechanic is far easier than then explaining it in an effective, clear, concise way in the manual.

On the 7th, Matt joined Kay and David on the @chaoticwholeso.me Table Talk Show!

Duality TTRPG A genre-crossing system designed for one shots and long form campaigns, Duality is a 2d6 tabletop role-playing system

Hey there, dice goblins~!! Exciting news: I’ve been behind the scenes helping the lovely folks at @mimicsnmisfits.com promote their flagship project, Duality… now ✨𝐋𝐈𝐕𝐄✨ on Kickstarter!! 💜

If you're a TTRPG fan seeking a uniquely designed system for your table—check it out!! It's pretty cool. 😎⬇️

I know this shouldn't be my priority and perhaps it would be wiser to commission someone for this, but I've decided I need to try drawing my font for titles.

Further, Matt has made some game boards for Railroaded Hauntings for the Talespire Capture tool, and you can download them here! Credit for the models is on each respective page.

Duality TTRPG A genre-crossing system designed for one shots and long form campaigns, Duality is a 2d6 tabletop role-playing system

We know shipping costs right now are… 𝒂 𝒍𝒐𝒕. But we’ve worked hard to make sure Duality can reach players worldwide more easily.

Thank you to everyone around the world who’s already pledged and shown support—you're amazing!! 🥹💜

Promotional graphic for the TTRPG system, Duality, now live on Kickstarter. Shows a futuristic looking city on the left blending with an old-fashioned, western scene on the right. Lightning is splitting the scene. To the right, a white goat is seen pulling a large cart of books. To the left, a multi-legged robot emerges from the back of a truck. Text reads: "Duality" and "World Shifting Shipping."

One question we’ve been asked: “Where do you ship from?” 🤔

We’re U.S.-based, but we're not shipping alone! Our printer has locations in France, India, Australia, UK & Canada.

What that means: we can ship closer to you; making things smooth, more accessible, and easier on the wallet! 🙌✨

The core rulebook for Duality TTRPG takes centre stage in this picture. It's purple and blue, featuring two characters locked in epic battle, and is split diagonally by a bolt of lightning. The style of the characters changes based on which side of the lightning that part of their body falls on. The book sits atop a book stand surrounded by custom 3d printed rangefinders. The background is a beautiful piece of art of a mausoleum and castle on a moonlit night. The text on the top says "DUALITY", and proclaims on the bottom "LIVE ON KICKSTARTER."

What does fail-forward mean? It means that even if you roll badly in Duality, your story will still continue.

The rolls are instead used to add interest and twists, not to be every player's strongest adversary. They will guide your journey by informing how the world reacts to you, instead.

What's your favourite game/system that is very heavy on fighting? (Ideally modern or futuristic)
I have an idea, but I'm very bad at combat/fight rules, and I'd like to see it how the rest does it.

#TTRPG #RPG #TTRPGDesign #TTRPGTheory

I came up with this idea for trolls, and I quite like it! There's too much to go into here, but the basics are what's said in the other post -- the road troll even has variants for different environments, as roads are naturally all over the world!

That’s right, folks! We have just one day left until Duality goes 𝒍𝒊𝒗𝒆 on Kickstarter!! 🙌

Ahead of launch day, we wanted to highlight one of the many ways you can personalize your #TTRPG adventure with Duality: the Unique Feature system. ⬇

We're releasing a Shadowdark adventure later this week, called Dawn of the Goat. It will be available on our DriveThruRPG-store. Follow us and you'll be notified: www.drivethrurpg.com/en/publisher...

A purple paper background sits behind a cartoon design of Matt on the left, wearing a blue shirt and black pants, and a picture of Matt on the right, wearing a red shirt. Overlaying at the bottom is a gold bar with purple lettering that says Matt (He/Him) Owner and Lead Designer.

Would you believe that Duality was designed by someone who's favorite thing is cheese? Even after reading The Stinky Cheese Man?!? 😖🧀

It all started with the D&D 3rd Edition starter set, and he's been telling stories ever since.

Seriously, send help, we can't get him to shut up. 😂

Promotional graphic for the TTRPG system Duality. Image has a dark purple background. Shows a cute, blushing brown tabby cat wearing a brown wizard hat, with big human hands holding two dice. The dice show Mimic’s old mascot, Reggie. They’re sand-colored with red corners and are sparkly. Text reads: "Clatter your destiny. Unleash your pips.

Ever wonder why we chose 2d6? Because it feels 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘳𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵. 👌

Rolling two dice is baked into gaming—from Monopoly to Catan, that familiar clatter signals ✨excitement!✨

Duality captures that energy in every roll. As the dice clack across the table, a new story begins.
