Bravo legendi!

thanks! it is a mix of royalty free tracks but we are working on our own custom made music specifically made for this :)

I'm happy to see this is still here. I played the game almost 4 years ago. How far is this in development?

Awesome!

Amazing looking design!

Amazing design and awesome layout! Great job!

Looking amazing!

This Jam enabled us to develop this game and fall in love with its SRD and the world that we've created so much, that we made a Kickstarter Campaign out of it . If you want to get the complete version of the game, consider backing the  Kickstarter campaign here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/2043080233/sword-wastelands-of-arakk

Buying Songs & Sagas, enjoying it, making a game for the Jam for it, getting awesome feedback and making a Kickstarter campaign out of that game that got funded in 10 minutes and unlocked 4 stretch goals in only a few hours is an amazing thing for us to see!

Thanks for the support from the community here. We will continue developing content for the game and reveal new stretch goals as the campaign moves forward in August! Big thanks for the support to RP from FARI RPGs for making this Jam enabling us to realize how much we can do!

I hope this motivates everyone else in the Jam's forum and I can't wait to see what the other entries would be!

Uuuuu wow, good job!

Thank you for your reply, we will soon publish a free version of the game where we will put that FIGMA template as well and we will make a slightly larger version on Kickstarter as well. If that goes well the Wastelands will become quite larger :) 

Yeeey :)

The last page is ready! This is it. We now have a fully finished game :) 

Even though the game is ready and can be perfectly played as it is in the current version,  we've started working on that last empty page on the opposite side of the MAP sheet. This is still far from ready. I am planning on adding art for each sword right from the sword's names, and the same thing for the armor set. Also, the text is not finished but I have a fair idea of how I want it to look :) 

NICE, every time I hear some resource building up and then be ready for usage it gives me such old school vibes :)

Awesome stuff Aykray!

Yup, this was awesome :)

Made an old black and white cinema animated banner for the itch.io page :) Made it glitchy :) how do you like it?

Today we made the Heirlooms that the characters will roll or choose. We invented three more enemies and made some changes in the rules related with the map. Moving onwards!

Looking amazing!

Soon everyone will be able to enjoy it :) 

Will do man!

Besides making a separate TTRPG for this Game Jam, we wanted to show our love for the SRD by making something completely different. Brace yourselves for a Virtual Table Top mini app ( for PC and Web ) where you can use all the dice rolls and card drawing/card burning mechanics needed for playing Songs and Sagas set in the same Norse theme that the game is in.  We can't wait to finish and publish this on Itch.io as an entry to the Game Jam and we hope that everyone who plays Songs and Sagas will use and enjoy the app. 

Here is a screenshot of what the art looks like. 

Happy to see there is another entry! Let's make the most out of it! Good luck!!!

Always up for Collabs, feel free to write to me in the Discord. I am ShoopLor, we know each other :) 

Happy you like it !  We spend time in our team going through the S&S SRD and we love it and this is exactly why we decided to use an SRD which is not ours for the first time ever :) We will share a free FIGMA template once we are done so that other people can create more "carried in songs and sagas" games because this SRD truly deserves it !

//// Making A Template For Songs and Sagas to make our game  ////
Bought the Songs and Sagas game, made some screenshots out of it, and started creating a template in FIGMA for my new game using that SRD.  Will copy-paste the FIGMA template into a separate doc and share it with everyone so they can have it. If you translate the size of sheets from cm to pixels and work like that, Figma can export PDFs and you can use it for printing without the need for Affinity or Adobe Illustrator. 

Within our brand https://linktr.ee/PrintNplay we always do everything ourselves, so it is a new and fresh experience for us to use an existing SRD, but being in the TTRPG community for 2 years now, we loved getting StoneBurner in the mail, we enjoyed how Breathless was made and we said we would give a go to this SRD to make it the first ever SRD that we would not create, but use. 



//// The Plan for This Game ////
In the Sword Wastelands of Arakk, you are an undead warrior who rises on an old battlefield and tries to figure out the reason for his new existence.  Instead of the spirit animals in the original game, we use the Heirloom mechanic where we stimulate players to use remnants of their past that will enable them to do various abilities. Additionally, we will make pre-set map tiles that will have pre-set effects and a specific starting point and ending point that you need to reach. The story will fit a one-shot style scenario but the tiles of the map will be in a card format so they can be randomly positioned on the map each time to have some re-playability.  

Normally all of this is our idea and the plan that we have, we are developing many games in parallel so it is possible to make changes along the way, like for example making a pre-set map etc...

Just as an Idea, maybe make a video of how the Dice/Card system works so that potential players can learn how to play the game ultra-fast. :) I am buying this either way to try it out, just speaking for players who have never played and want to start a short video with dice rolls would explain a lot :) 

Would love to team up and make a TTRPG together :) 

Congrats on making and releasing this! Proud of you!!!

The game is awesome! May I just recommend adding a pause screen when you press " ESC " key? I just feel that game is so well made and polished and is missing this basic thing inside. I do not want to close such a beautiful game with alt+f4 :)  

UUU wow, art looks amazing :) 

I liked it except those music cues that are very loud and kind of distracting. I lowered the sound to 10 percent and left the sound effects louder to be able to paly. Other than that awesome :)

I love the art and how much it is a completed product in such a short time :)
