[Q&A] Jason Rafalski (Rituals of the Elder Gods)

[1:05 PM]harushu: Hello, my name is Jason Rafalski and I am mostly a one man team. I have created the Rituals of the elder gods TTRPG and although I have had friends look over stuff and voice their opinions and sometime they have created some content, for the most part I have been working at this alone. I created the game mostly from ground up utilizing the attribute + skill = dice pool basic mechanics much like white wolf and Shadowrun use. You roll the dice pool against a difficulty number in an attempt to roll on or above the difficulty to get successes. Mine however is different in the fact that it uses d12’s. This gives a difficulty range from a min of 3 to a max of 10. Rolls of 1 & 2 are failures and 10, 11 & 12 will always be a success. The game itself is designed to be a horror game, this can be action horror, murder mystery, social intrigue, or more phycological. The game centers around Cthulhu and elder god myology. I draw my inspiration from H.P.Lovecraft and Stephen King. Though I do not have specific Lovecraftian lore I do keep the vibe and have my own lore that is building. I personally have been gaming for 25+ years, mostly with the same group of people. I am a slow type so please bare with me, I have also gotten very little sleep this week as I have been pushing to get the demo game ready, so my typing might have typos and such. I have been working on this game since 2020 and My group and I have moved past playtesting this last year and we all just decided to start playing it rather than switching systems. I am socially awkward and am not sure what else to say. I am looking to release on DriveThruRPG mid February to early March. I do have a demo game Called Hell Depot on DriveThru but it is awaiting approval so I am linking it here for everyone including the Character sheet I have, which at this time is only form filled, but I will be adding java script utility to auto calc. Here are those two and DoneHell_Depot_JaRa_dgt_v1.pdf9.94 MBRotEG Character Sheet form filled.pdf6.50 MB

His work blends rich worldbuilding with morally complex scenarios, drawing on his unique background in mythology and computer science to bridge ancient storytelling with modern interactive systems.
