Knightcore: the Steel and Silk aesthetic, now as TTRPG
Friends of Mottokrosh Machinations!
I’ll keep it short and sweet: our latest product, a 48 page A5 zine that recently successfully kickstarted is now generally available:
Buy the physical zine in our shop (ships worldwide, comes with PDF)
What is it all about? Let me copy and paste the back cover blurb directly:
Knightcore, an aesthetic that combines gleaming armor, soft flowing fabrics, and ethereal haunting radiance, now as a tabletop roleplaying game. Within this zine you find everything you need to run.
♦ Tone as setting: An age of darkness and chaos, wrought by strife. The player characters as knights, the beacons of hope in the din.
♦ Streamlined character creation with many exciting options and items.
♦ Fast rules that reinforce and incentivize the knights-amid-chaos gameplay. Player agency and decision making writ large.
♦ Three flavorful, powerful, and dangerous magic systems, in an eminently hackable game.
♦ The Black Baroness of Broceliande: a starting adventure with maps and creatures.
♦ Original art and photography, all human made, plus public domain art photo-bashing.
Yes, we got our friends together for a giant photoshoot, and yes we play tested this thing to chaos and back. I hope you like it as much as we do.
