Making Legends since the 1980’s
A long-time TTRPG group’s fan site for presenting thoughts and observations on a hobby-lifestyle that’s suddenly become mainstream. This domain has been in constant operation, in many forms, since 2001. Usually shifting based on what we are playing, mostly for presenting information for our local group.
In December of 2024 we started dabbling in game mechanic design. The current revision can be found at AxiomRPG using the button below. It’s about 95% playable and free to anyone interested. We’re still testing it ourselves and usually make adjustments after each bi-weekly session. There is no formal setting included with the current distribution.
Regarding settings, we decided to formalize some of our well-worn, battle-tested home-brew settings for digital release. The first is our take on a fantasy setting. We have rough plans for modern-horror and science-fantasy settings too. Check out our Patreon for in-development setting details and follow along with the process.
AxiomRPG is intended as a genre neutral TTRPG using a D6-based Dice Pool for all task resolution, combat, and supernatural abilities. This is our version of an Old School Renaissance take on the classic West End Games OpenD6 mechanics with some modernization and simplification.
