You must have not been in any community, then. Banjo-Kazooie is full of out of their mind people who demand new game to be made and they spam in similar manner to Silksong stans. Darksiders community is literally complaining that there is no Darksiders 4. Before Digimon Survive has been released, people were extremely toxic towards the Bandai Namco, that there are delays. And the best example must have been Cyberpunk 2077. Game has been *rushed* because idiots were toxic and even real life threatening, because they demanded the game to come out. And the game did came out. Unfinished because of all this. Literally every community I know that doesn't have a sequel within quick time is complaining. I think Tomb Raider is the only exception I can think of. Never seen them being toxic that the new game hasn't been made yet. But as I mentioned, Banjo-Kazooie, Darksiders, Digimon and many more communities are literally complaining every time. EDIT: How could I forget. Ori community was disrespecting the devs, because they said there won't be third game in a near future. They were demanding the next sequel, because THEY WANT TO play. Oh. And Portal 3 fanboys? Even though Portal sequel doesn't make sense (midquel or prequel, yes, but not sequel).
Sorry for the weird state you found the team in, we're missing like 5 of the original creators, especially Machin who helped release something other than playtests into coherent rulesets and managed the public community, hopefully in the future it will be less messy for such an sudden exposure blast It's funny because the manual itself is just for bugmaking and combat, there's tons of smaller ones for more items, materials (and forging), more complex combat situations rules, cooking, additional paths like the vessels and voidlings, adventure design and other kingdom apparatus, entirely premade dungeons and situations, etc...
I mean. it looks like it's in a good enough state for people to put together a decent adventure with what you already have just in the base book. I'm excited to see where it goes further ^~^
@@scribblerstudios9895 it was more that getting 1000+ people to join over a week was pretty unexpected lol there's a few reworks in writing to have less cluttered systems for players, hopefully devs can get into an agreement just like before to take the best parts out of each other's
If anyone is interested, I'd also recommend checking out Hollowed Kingdoms! It's a much smaller project, but the people behind it are really dedicated and have some really fun ideas!
It's an odd sight to see something I started years ago grow and become so much more of a community and thing than I'd ever had expected. This actually was started well before Silksong was announced, btw, so it wasn't really made while waiting or anything.
Ya know, I haven't contributed much to the system but seeing all the work these guys have done, with all of us testing and working on it, making friends along the way was great. We made this way before silksong was released and when it was announced we were excited as hell, I can't wait to see what goes on when it does and I'd love to get back to contribute some more when they can. This project means a lot. So thanks for covering it my man, and giving a shout out to those that worked on it. I hope to hear some cool stories of sessions from other members of the community!
Words cannot describe how thankful I am for this video. This brought a wave of people to the HKRPG Discord (including me), bringing their amazing ideas and characters, and some of my best memories have been formed there. I was starting my junior year in high school, and playing this helped me figure myself out, in more ways than one. This video also eventually led to me finding my closest group of friends I've ever had, as well as my boyfriend (almost 9 months together wooo). Thank you for giving me one of the most impactful moments of my life (in a non-parasocial way, ofc).
Gametron speaks for our whole group here, we have met there almost an year ago along with some of the others and we all have been inseparable ever since, even getting some new fellas on the way I want to also thank you myself Fire, for making this video. It made many find something in their life that they enjoy doing with friends, just like us. So thanks man!
heard we were jumping GT in yt comments. Also yeah found out about this system from this video and some of the people I've met through it, like the others in this group, have been some of the best I've met, so I can really say this video changed my life without sounding like one of those bots.
Whoa, nice timing. I was just getting into dnd and was thinking about making something like this. Huge congrats to the people who made this, it's really cool!
Hey, I'd just like to thank you for giving us this most incredible shoutout Fireb0rn! The Discord server is always open to people who want to check in and have their questions answered and organize their own games.
it sounds like this game is built in powered by the apocalypse judging by the two d6 setup. im playing a themed monstwr of the week game and im honestly really excited to see how this game plays
This system looks so cool! I’ve always been a fan of incorporating hollow knight into ttrpg’s, I even made a homebrew soul warrior class based on the Knight for D&D. I’m excited to try stuff, love that Fire is always promoting the hollow knight community’s awesome projects!
I really dig the design work on the page layouts for this one! It oozes the same atmosphere as the source material. There's been a rising trend this decade of video game TTRPGs made by fans, and I'm loving it! (Source: I am part of the wave)
You should do this with the others! You could make a second channel for your game sessions and I'm sure a lot of people would love to listen to it and learn it!
I only have 4 days on hollow knight but I finally managed to beat Absolute Radiance and I couldn't be happier. Your videos are the reason I found this amazing game and had the determination to achieve such a task and that i thank you for so so much. I absolutely love your content keep up the amazing work.
10:41 Path of Pain "climb a wall covered in sawblades" "3 successes" if that is a option then i think i know ether what is around or what has been added
Everyone else: looking through the document to see all of the cool mechanics Me: looking through the document to see what weapon or class dung defender has.
i'm kinda hoping someone puts out a starter campaign for this system. Kinda like how main DnD has example/starter campaigns to get the GM and Players into it
So anyways I once mad e a build using irritant bristles paralising poison and used all posible stuff to make myself a fuzzy ball of doom I also took the thorns path for the flasks of poison
I am soooo happy that this game is not just a dnd expansion bc as a person very experienced with tabletop rpgs I get more and more frustrated by people just adapting dnd for fan rpgs bc dnd is just not a very good system for many kinds of things. Generic adventuring in a fantasy setting with a strong focus on combat works fine, but especially if there are specific themes you want to have in your game you need to do some work to reflect it in the game's mechanics. And even though I would've chosen to do this game a little different, the idea with the modular characters in terms of building your bug and the hunger system are things that feel quite inspired by the original video game. Kudos to the team.
Question. Has anyone set up a server or campaign for this game already? I feel like the big problem of systems like this is that, despite having a dedicated community, it's hard to find any actual games that use the system, so I'd love finding a game to join into. Particularly, this seems especially well-suited for a West Marches/Living Server type of experience!
Team Cherry: you're not getting a new game!

I tried to look for something like this back in mid 2020. That’s really cool!
I remember hearing about this on Reddit a while ago. It sounds neat :D
Whoa this is very cool!
Now I wanna see someone (or you) start up a campaign with this cause im all hyped for this
the hunger mechanics are especially fitting given the knight's orgin as the hungry knight.
so the more powerful the boi, the hungrier the boi.
I wish I was one of those hardcore D&D people, because these things have always interested me, but I have nobody to play it with. Oh well.
There are online campaigns
This game has a discord where you can go and meet other players
I’d been waiting for this for days but I had to go right as you started streaming :
I am astounded people even thought of this. I guess this is from the wait for silksong.
this dnd type of game is called a TTRPG or table top role playing game
