Troika: Numinous Edition 24 hour warning

IT'S ALMOST OVER!

This is the obligatory 24 hour reminder, and then we can all take a breather.

The Troika! Numinous Edition Kickstarter is 24 hours from ending. We've unlocked the Plastic Sea and maxillae slurping vampires, along with an expanded bestiary.

Here's a list of things we currently aren't getting

• An adventure on The Wall by ENnie award winning Andrew Walter
• A book of Kafkaesque nightmares by critical darling Jeremy Duncan.
• The Troikan Guide to Chromatic, Metallic & Pseudo Pigs.
• And more art!

Who knows? We pray for pigs. Deus ex social media!

Make your own days

How about you make some backgrounds? Call it a competition.

I'll send whichever one or ones makes me go "fuck, I wish wrote that and now I have to consciously avoid stealing it later"

If we end up with 36 that qualify for the "fuck, I wish etc." category I'll maybe do something extra for it, with permission.

Backgrounds should usually be no longer than 200 word and stick to 10 or so total Skill ranks distributed in a range of 1 to 3, with 3 being someone who has already mastered their trade. Feel free to break these rules.

Troika! Numinous Edition Kickstarter is live

Details in the Kickstarter. Give me money, me and my friends will make a book. It'll be a good book.

You guys know Troika! though, you're reading this after all. However I'm cashing in all the karma I've accumulated from not being that guy hanging about forums and suggesting Troika! whenever someone so much as mentions something slightly appropriate to it. If this game or anything we've made has been significant to you in any way then I kindly ask that you shove this campaign in peoples' faces, tell them what you think about the game, saturate the nerd world. Tell all your podcast friends that I'm an interview hoot. I dunno, improvise.

Redjade Embassy

Ambassador Reapget 5/7/2
Spell: Slide Skyward

Reapget is a thick necked and affable man, dressed in a sackcloth decorated with red stones. His hat of office, begrudgingly donned when with company, is a huge bored out red rock. Only one staff member, an old secretary that mostly keeps the fire warm and gets the shopping in. A fine office, now very homely. Clothes hang across the room on improvised washing lines, extra mismatched comfortable chairs have been added to the original furniture around the fire. Desks are used as shelves for potted plants. 47 red tone Redjade coins distributed evenly among the sides of comfortable chairs. A tin of coffee. Three fine chiming stones.

RUMOUR: One of the animals in the Vaulted Animarium is actually a cokcroached deputy alcalde
