I’ve wanted to make a tabletop roleplaying game for quite some time and there’s no time like the present to get started, so that’s what I’ve done today. As I’m mostly a YouTube streamer these days, I’ve decided to live stream the entire development process; in the hope that anyone else who’s ever had the idea to make an RPG like this will see it’s not as daunting a task as they might think.
While the background lore for the game is not yet present and the list of available skills needs expanding, the basic mechanics of the game are in place. I think they will appeal to a wide audience because I’ve designed them with an easy-to-grasp feel. I’ve also gone with nothing but six-sided dice for the rolling, because every house with a copy of Monopoly in it has some dice they can grab in order to play. The idea is mass accessibility, after all.
Version 0.1 of the GameHammer RPG System is now available for download. It is a pre-alpha test version of the game and will need extensive expansion, testing and more before it is complete. Nevertheless, what is here works and you can try it out for yourself.
Let me know what you think!
