What it is about

Thousands of upvotes on Reddit! I don't know how else to tell you: people liked this! A bundle of Game Master tools to build and run the world of your campaign, from a low-prep GM who loves quick and elegant tools! Some use The Blunderbuss Engine - a method of rolling the standard set of 7 RPG dice to yield hard and soft metrics, unlocking more than 4 million combinations and literally infinite inspiration for each tool! The tables can be easily adapted to your campaign, and the mechanics will help you speed-build your world! Elegant, if I do say so myself... Bones of the Tarrasque | One-Roll Towns, using the standard set of 7 RPG dice on a tabletop to fully map a town in one roll . Built for fantasy worlds, but easily adapted! Fast and practical. Flesh of the Tarrasque | One-Roll Society, using the same Blunderbuss Engine but providing a much deeper look at a locale - including a unique History Axis X Hierarchy Axis system to give this society instant depth. Throes of the Tarrasque | A 4-page system for Faction Battles. Using faction conflict in the background of your sandbox campaign will provide constant surprise, inspiration, and fun in your GM prep! Run a Faction Battle between each session, and the world around your players will always be buzzing with activity! This systems uses 2d20 and a standard deck of playing cards to simulate faction action. Throes of the Tarrasque: Echelons | Asset lists for the Throes of the Tarrasque system - Fantasy and Sci-fi. Build your factions with interesting Assets, and pit them against each other in Faction Battles!
