Not quite ready to add this to the projects section yet but Silent Earth is a pen-and-paper role-playing game I’ve had on the back-burner for quite a while. After pitching it to a few folks recently it got re-prioritized and I’ve been working on it here-and-there for the past few weeks. It is now in a state ready for early playtesting.

The game is set in the far future right here on our home planet, where players are fighting to save human consciousness from a digital calamity.

I don’t want to share a lot of details about the game and world at this point since everything may change, but I will list some of the primary design goals.

• Focus on storytelling
• Narrative driven tactical encounters (playmat compatible)
• D20 system familiar to many players of other popular RPGs
• Enrich role playing and improvisation through unique character creation and progression

I’ll update this post and the Projects section with more details after the playtest.
