Northpyre is a game I’ve been building quietly for a while.
It’s a mythical stone age horror TTRPG. Northpyre is set in a world of vast wilderness and shifting seasons, a world of awe and terror and the spirits of the Otherside.
You play as members of the Bear Tribe: hunter-gatherers shaped by the Forest, and bound to it. You live by flint, furs, and fire, and die when the spirits say so. Your Self is a spirit, too, one that lives inside your body.
This Substack is where I’ll share pieces of the work as I finish the game:
mechanics and content
toolkits and resources
devlog posts and design notes
probably some thoughts on rpgs in general
I’m making this slowly. Intentionally. I want it to be beautiful.
If that sounds like something you want to follow: Welcome.
This is just the beginning. If you’re reading this early: Thank you. You’re part of the start of something that I hope becomes strange and beautiful.
