my game is called "torchlite" its a roguelike horror rpg where every time u load a save, it gets deleted.
the game follows overworld encounters and turn based combat similer to paper mario.
health is hard to get, so combat is less about winning, and more about preserving what little hp u have left.

Can you believe I forgot to include the word "Cortex" in the text? 😂
Miriam, Lynn, and you have done a fantastic job with TorchLite. One of my players is also a GM, and in the last session, I recommended TLite to him to try out the system.

Had to Google Translate this, but it was a very gratifying message to read!
"Now that I've gotten back into the system (using 90% of ToX), I think this is the best way to get a first taste of it. Not Marvel, not Leverage, not anything else—TorchLite is awesome for that."
"Now that I've gotten back into the system (using 90% of ToX), I think this is the best way to get a first taste of it. Not Marvel, not Leverage, not anything else—TorchLite is awesome for that."
Ahora que he vuelto a retomar el sistema (usando el 90% de ToX), creo que esta es la mejor forma de tener un primer contacto con él. Ni Marvel, ni Leverage, ni nada, TorchLite es brutal para eso.
#TorchLite is out! Somehow, this customizable, narrative pulp-fantasy #TTRPG, focused on character development & compelling stories of action & exploration (compatible w/ #CortexRPG) feels like the culmination of my 8 yrs creating for #dnd5e.

We had a similar problem with Torchlite. I don't remember what Miriam did to adjust. It is also partly responsive for us coming back with a text only version a few months after.

making a new thing for a friend's #torchlite campaign - While reminiscent of a unicorn in design, mori's color design is loosely based off of the red bull from the last unicorn - hence, they are a unicorn trained to hunt and enjoy the slaughter of other unicorns.

I really love Cortex Prime, but almost nobody seems to know about it. It's more of a universal ruleset for making your RPG though. There's an official fantasy game and campaign setting designed on its rule set called Tales of Xadia, and another called TorchLite (latter one is free on itch.io)

I know you're not gonna read it, but TorchLite does this. You pick a People, a Profession, and Persona. Each gives you a Distinction, and then either traits and SFX or a starting Milestone. We added a more customizable process as well, but that "Pick 3 and Go" approach was Miriam's initial pitch.
