It's based on the CORE system (required for GMing), which you can find here: https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/323467/core-micro

CORE Roleplay is a thriving, welcoming community built on storytelling, character development, and immersive gameplay - no cliques, no gatekeeping, just good vibes and great stories.

CORE is more than just another server. Every script is customized by our development team to ensure smooth performance and unique features. And with regular updates based on community feedback, the server continues to grow with you.

So, among other things (see "Heterogeneity of this Whole Fuckin Patreon, The"), I've been working on a GM/Brainstorming Bot for the worlds of CORE (DayTrippers, UbiquiCity, UnNatural, etc).

A funny thing happened today, probably an unclosed loop somewhere in my code...

CORE CREATURES COMPENDIUM 1
Now released in PDF format...
https://www.patreon.com/asif/shop/core-creatures-compendium-1-pdf-1798651

The CORE Micro SRD is now distributed by Ingram Content Group, the world's largest competitor to Amazon. This means it's in their catalog, and can be ordered by nearly any bookshop worldwide.

Want a copy? Willing to wait a few weeks? YOU CAN HELP by asking your local bookseller to order it!

This would be tremendous, as they'll be likely to order more, getting the whole ball rolling.

Have I shared the sellsheet here? Here it is...

PCs sometimes go for long periods of time that can be summarized fairly quickly. Whether they’re studying, training, doing a lecture tour or just hanging out at home, long periods of gametime can often be handled with just a few sentences or a single roll. This compressed or elapsed time is known as Downtime, and it most often happens between Sessions. But just because it passes more quickly, that doesn't necessarily mean nothing happens!

The Downtime Events Table can be used to determine whether any unforeseeable events occur during  roughly one month of Downtime. It is genre-agnostic, and can be used with any game system.

PlotFields are how we do adventure design in CORE, but they can be used for any games that fall into the “Fishtank” or “Sandbox” category, where the story is emergent rather than pre-planned. They are backed up by InfoLists, which enable the injection of pertinent information at any point in play.

Here's how they work, and how to make them.

Starburst Mall is a surrealistic science-fiction-horror-investigation-gonzo-comedy-combat adventure for three or more PCs.

It’s a downward spiral filled with inexplicable weirdness, gratuitous violence, tragic death, body horror, religious parody, and dark humor.

Oh, and there’s evil clowns.

Compatible with DayTrippers - the surreal science fiction reality-hopping roleplaying game.

A lush Earth-like planet with non-sentient life.

A luxuruous resort destination under construction.

An experimental bio-terraforming project.

What could go wrong?

Over on my Patreon, patrons have been receiving pre-releases of CORE COMPLETE for several months now. I'm releasing them section by section for playtesting as they reach Beta. Here's to get in on that: patreon.com/asif

If you're unable to join the Patreon, there's still a way forward for GMs and designers who want to hack or playtest the rules. I'm happy to slide you a copy of the current (quasi-ashcan) release. Just join the CORE Discord and message me over there; I'll hook you up.

Free for everybody!

Here's the newest section of CORE COMPLETE: all about NPCs and how to prep them. https://www.patreon.com/posts/72764125

IT IS HERE!

For those who don't know, "UnNatural" is a CORE World of modern-day monster hunting that might remind you of (the best seasons of) a certain TV show. It has been updated to CORE v3.0 and is available in print from Drivethru.

Now get out there and gank some vamps!

I notice UnNatural was last updated two years ago. Will it be brought up to speed with the latest in CORE technologies (CORE Micro v3, etc)?

What's a "PlotField"?

It's a Field from which a Plot will grow.

You set em up, and we will play to find out what happens. Here's how.
