This is a solid looking thread ☺️ Hi I'm Josh and for #selfpromosaturday I want to share an "Art Nouvork Börg" game I've been working on called Belle Epocalypse. It's set in 1916 after the discovery of the 5th Scientific force: the Ectenic Force.
The cover for the TTRPG Belle Epocalypse The history of the Ectenic Force, spiritual energy that permeates the world. A retelling of world war one due to the Ectenic Force being a changing factor. Belle Epocalypse has a downtime portion of the game where you can level up your characters a little or a lot based on if you want to cling to mutations that develop called Gnosis or "Secret Knowledge"

I learned a new word! Ectenic: A hypothetical "psychic force" spiritualists used in the late 1800s to do weird stuff.

Im DEEEP into my "Art Nouvork Borg" game. I'm currently working on the ramifications of "What if Rasputin gained actual Eldritch powers before the Revolution happened?" And I'm defining the Ectenic Force (the 'magic' for this alternate history).

#ttrpg #alternatehistory So with the ascension of Tsar Rasputin, England looks to find a commensurate response. Enter the Ordo Templi (currently run by Alester Crowley). They establish the Ministry of Sacred Gnosis, officially sanctioned mages who research Ectenic Energies.

Im 50+ pages deep into the "Art Nouvork Börg" game, and Bloodbornes Insight system has been a huge help in explaining the "Cosmic Bliss" style horror of the game.
Grace is "Eldritch Absinthe", a highly valued creation in this setting. It's also made by breaking down the physical barrier of a human, turning them into Ectenic Energy. What happens if you drink Grace.

#selfpromosunday working on a #morkborg like #ttrpg that's "Arc Raiders meets Control":
Journal entry of an experienced operator for the Ministry of Insight, the group that handles paranormal "Incursions" Operators go into Blooms, areas thick with Ectenic Energy to either destroy or collect the artifact that's causing the Bloom to happen. Operators risk dealing with Infected, humans corrupted by the energy, or Angels, entities that manifest here from the incursion. A visualization of what walking into a Bloom would be like.
