45 - Roger and Industrial Strength Heroism

Roger tells us about his world Savinaru. It was created by elementals, primal forces of creation. Ever since Savinaru has been plagued by demons, primal forces of destruction. Savinaru is in the midst of its Industrial Revolution via magic. Magically powered public transportation networks are being built and weaponry has advanced to muskets and cannons. Roger wrote Savinaru to have many subversions of the usual fantasy tropes. For example, dwarves and orcs are the same race, but dwarves split off due to going underground.

Roger has also been working on his own TTRPG system that he has dubbed Industrial Strength Heroism. It's a heroic fantasy system with a d12 roll-under mechanic. Character stats vary from 2 to 8. Rolls are decided by d12 roll with bonuses or penalties. To succeed you must roll less than the relevant stat.

Roger has a World Anvil on Savinaru that he's recently started as of this episode's release: https://www.worldanvil.com/w/savinaru-rogerpellicano

Roger has been working on a video game called Nymar Arisen. It's a base-building survival game similar to Minecraft, but your character commands a whole tribe of ant people to fight back against demon invasions. The game is still in its early stages, but a playable demo has been released on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1682470/Nymar_Arisen/

Roger is just starting his social media presence as well to get Industrial Strength Heroism going. If you'd like to be the first to know about it you can follow him on BlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/rogerpellicano.bsky.social
