Dimday Red TTRPG - Nodus Zine 02

Created by Spiros Drakatos

Dimday Red is a mid-apocalyptic tabletop role-playing game set in a bleak, socially fragmented world, where you can play as a mutant or a faction member, during the last 52 years of life on Earth. It expands on the Powered by the Apocalypse system with custom designed mechanics, meant to give the freedom to live your final days the way you choose! Following an exhilarating year filled with loving support and valuable feedback from our community, Dimday Red is forging ahead, bigger and more mature, delving deeper into the darker realms of the Neu Bonn saga.

Hey all, tonight will be a fun night! I will have the pleasure to converse live with Bill from the Dungeon Delver! 

Most of you will have an idea by now that Dimday Red is a passion project for me, so when I have the chance to talk about it I go all in :) Even more, it will be 03:00 here in Greece so God only knows what I am going to say half asleep... This is an opportunity you don't want to miss!

If you would like to hear stories of love and horror, joy and tears, or what it means to run a one-man-band-TTRPG-project, I invite you to join us tonight at 20:00 US Eastern time (UTC -5).

Here are some cool projects I believe are worth of your attention!

The Sewers & the Stars: a Hidden Isle Zine

The Sewers and the Stars is a standalone zine expansion for The Hidden Isle, our recently funded tabletop role playing game. It offers two new settings, the city of Rome, and the island of Zanzibar, two new pre-written scenarios set in those locations, and two new character classes: the Swindler and the Scholar. 

Aspiring Agents can look forward to conning Portuguese troops on the shores of Zanzibar, sensing the greed of corrupt Roman cardinals, giving rousing lectures or speeches, and demonstrating their encyclopedic knowledge of obscure facts.

The Magus & The Oracle - Solo RPG & Inspiration Deck

A journaling RPG about pathos, arcana, and the infinite loneliness of power – plus an oracle deck for inspiration, by momatoes.

In this game, you use dice and pen to write the unique history of your character's quest for arcane mastery. You will navigate strange encounters and confront complex opportunities for learning spells—or cultivating tenuous bonds.
Now powered by the Oracle, a 78-card deck filled with prompts and illustration to bring life to your writing.

The Catacombs of Candarlin - A Solo Fantasy Gamebook

The Catacombs of Candarlin is the second part of the Candarlin series, a gamebook trilogy that began last year with The Secrets of Candarlin. It is a stand-alone story that can be played for itself or as part of the series. The Catacombs of Candarlin stands within the tradition of gamebooks like Lone Wolf and Fighting Fantasy. The rules are intentionally kept simple so you can start playing quickly. All you need is two six-sided dice (2d6) and a pencil.

Over 1000% funded in a week! It feels good to set the world on fire!
8 months ago – Mon, Feb 12, 2024 at 01:20:49 PM

As more people are drawn into the world of Neu Bonn, they help shape it, bring it to life. The more the Dimday Red project grows, the more work goes into it, and more details are added to its dark story.

The Hochburg Slum is one such example. It is the base setting for the first official DdR adventure but also a world within a world. Fifty-nine rooms, seven story lines, 27 tales, dozens of NPCs, and a couple of star-crossed lovers in the middle of it all, Thisbe and Pyramos.

For me, reaching the 1000% mark is not about making more money. It's about getting the chance to tell those stories, bring those people to life, see if love will conquer in the end.

Thank you for giving me this chance! I hope you are as excited to walk the corridors of Hochburg and meet these people as I am!

Here are some projects I believe are worth your time!

Dungeon Snap for 5e & OSR

Dungeon Snap is a series of short adventures that can be played completely out of the box. Featuring pre-created characters for Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition, or any OSR system.

But even more, Dungeon Snap includes its own system which is super simple, just two pages of rules, and at the same time it's very familiar to the games you already know. And yes, each volume of Dungeon Snap also includes pre-made characters for this system as well.

Dragons Under the Mountain: Monsters in Iverglendar

Fantasy comic AND a 5e-compatible Adventure TTRPG!

See how Roegudok Hall and the Drakvyrez'Pei were founded in a full-color comic (26 pages of fantasy action) that dives deep into some of the most pivotal history in the world of Terramyr. 

Plus what better way to build on this lore than to make a playable experience in the same setting!

Dragons Under the Mountain: Monsters in Iverglendar is a 5e-compatible adventure for levels 1-2. It's not as short as a one-shot, but not as long as a full campaign either. Targeting approximately 40 pages, with all new creatures, maps, and more, this adventure hits that sweet spot between the shorter and longer adventures.

It's rich with lore, building upon what is found in the comic book too!

Stay tuned, and prepare to embark on a thrilling journey where you alone are the master of your destiny!

Here's a heart-warming update for you!
9 months ago – Mon, Feb 05, 2024 at 12:47:09 PM

Hey guys,

What an exciting trip! We reached 10K in just a few days, climbed to Level 6 of the Hochburg Slum, and unlocked a new room. More details on this soon!

I can't really express how grateful I am for the support Dimday Red is getting, so I thought of finding some ways to give back! Here goes:

Free dice

  • The free dice offer for all physical backers continues for 100 more sets! Because you deserve it!

Solidarity Edition

  • I created the Solidarity Edition, a heavily discounted version of the Digital Nodus 02 zine, to give an opportunity to those who want to dive into the world of Dimday Red but may not have the funds at this time.

Character Tokens

  • For all tiers from Digital Nodus 02 zine and above, a set of PC and NPC tokens will be available for free, ready to be printed or used in your VTT games.

More Stretch Goals coming up

Stick around as we keep climbing our stretch goals. Nine mysterious floors remain until the Hochburg sign, and there are rumors that a Dimday Red Solo Version is among the stretch goals hidden in them!

7K stretch goal reached! Introducing the Deevo!
9 months ago – Sat, Feb 03, 2024 at 07:41:18 AM

Hey guys, we have reached level 5 of the Hochburg Slum and unlocked yet another stretch goal! So, it's time to introduce the Deevo mutant, a new playbook character for the Dimday Red TTRPG.

Deevos are ape-looking humans, found exclusively in the lower Castes, as people belonging to the higher Castes exhibiting such mutation signs are either exiled or put to death.

Their mutation rapidly reverses their genetic evolution, causing their physiology to resemble their primate ancestors. As their appearance changes, their facial features transform into ape-like ones, their muscles get bigger and stronger, and their hair grows all over their bodies. 

Learn more about the Deevo's at the DdR Lore Website.

Let's keep climbing; new exciting rewards await at higher levels!
