Fortuna RPG

New #TTRPG system, finally get a use for those D12 dice, with our flexible bonus and penalty stacking rules and range of setting ideas.
Coming soon.

Gnomes are said to be partially formed of an otherworldly magic, some of the things they do seem like they shouldn't work. Most notably, a lot of their precarious and whimsical buildings look like should probably fall over, yet never do.

Character progression in Fortuna gives each class an extensive skill tree, letting them specialise in different areas, or branch out into broader bases of knowledge and ability. Every character ends up unique and sculpted to your ideas.
What will you create?

We were just discussing at the local gaming club today, the purpose of a GM isn't to win against the players, but to guide them through the story, to get them to win against the odds, and help them enjoy success and excitement and tension along the way.

Working to keep the rules flexible for different kinds of stories.

What are you after? Wilderness exploration, political intrigue, mystery solving, fighting monsters...

#Worldbuilding #TTRPG

[Fortuna RPG @FortunaD12]

Combat in Fortuna isn't just attack, miss, attack, roll damage

Use an action each turn to feint, distract, aim, disarm or pull off bigger and more imaginative stunts to gain bonuses or give advantages to your allies.

It's #SelfPromoSaturday, what are you doing?

Working on some of the last parts of Fortuna here, tidying up the rules to make them clearer, and giving plenty of guidance to GMs, how to plot a session, what difficulty to make rolls, working with rather than against players...

[Fortuna RPG @FortunaD12]

Your skills in Fortuna can be anything
Not just 'Stealth' or 'Athletics'
Why not try:
Cartography
Street Rumours
Monster Cooking

If it fits your character, it works.

Dice are rolled when it matters to the story, if you're failing at something that stops the plot working, or that you should be able to do without trouble, something has gone wrong.
The purpose of games is to tell stories together.

[Fortuna RPG @FortunaD12]

Your character isn’t just a class, you build them from

Who you are
Where you came from
What you become

mix them all up as you want, what can you create?

What makes Fortuna?

Roll-under D12 system
Skills + items stack to improve your odds
Balance between character growth and challenge
Simple core, lots of depth

@PrimevalFantasy This is why I'm doing two different sets of combat rules for tables to choose between, one that's fast paced and flexible, and the other that lets you calculate tactics and optimal numbers for actions.
Only thing is the class level-up abilities don't always carry over well.

[Fortuna RPG @FortunaD12]

Working away on Fortuna still, tabletop RPG system built around flexible storytelling, character freedom, and a roll-under D12 system that keeps things fast and active

Going to post more stuff on here about it soon

Since Wraiths can't actually touch physical objects, they don't get to have a Stamina score, but luckily their Willpower stat can fill in where needed.

[Fortuna RPG @FortunaD12]

The full version of the rules also adds in a bunch more character options, including artificial constructs, undead and incorporeal fae creatures, and more to come.

[Fortuna RPG @FortunaD12]

Like adding lots of different modifiers to your dice rolls, stacking up a whole array of bonuses and penalties until every increase in skill and ability is negated by an increase in difficulty?
This week, it's time to work on the advanced equipment crafting mechanics.

[Fortuna RPG @FortunaD12]

Handed out on GM discretion where appropriate to the plot, character level, and interactions with whoever would be grading them, guildmasters, archmages, generals and so on, they serve primarily a roleplay purpose for character interactions, as well as propelling plot lines.

[Fortuna RPG @FortunaD12]

One of the features of the full Fortuna rulebook that didn't make it into the abridged Starter Set (on sale soon) are your Profession Ranks, titles and acknowledgements of your character's achievements as they progress and learn.

@baddrawndungeon Various ancient ruins get added to the map as potentially interesting locations where brave adventurers can explore and find hidden secrets, sinister plots and other dangers, or maybe just a secluded spot where they can eavesdrop on a conspiratorial meeting by locals.

[Fortuna RPG @FortunaD12]

I also get to take time for making sure the enemy stats are balanced right as well, lots of fiddly bits of maths and calculations.

This weekend is all the fun of formatting charts of various pieces of equipment and other items that can be bought, made and used to enhance skill checks. But, it has to be done.
