A downloadable storytelling game

You are a goblin, and you are what you hold close: discarded trinkets, unloved baubles, desperate comrades. These precious bits of flotsam give you courage enough to rummage through the treacherous alleys and howling wastes of this world. Venture out from whatever miserable hovel you sprouted and seek the shiny things of the world, oh little chaos beast!

I'll Be Taking That is a tabletop roleplaying game in which a narrator and several players tell the stories of rambunctious goblins in a harsh world. Play is rooted in narrative choices and collective, chaotic joy, supported mechanically by a lightweight inventory-as-skills action resolution system and overflowing random generation tables. IBTT is built on Caltrop Core by Titanomachy RPG (https://titanomachyRPG.itch.io) and draws heavily on the philosophies of Powered by the Apocalypse systems, among others.

This is the playtest edition: everything you need to play the game is here, but there will be developments, edits, and, of course, more trinkets to come! Including:

  • Editing for clarity! Fewer run on sentences! Fewer walls of text!
  • Handfuls of illustrations! The trinkets we really want!
  • Thoroughly playtested mechanics! Mechanics in service of story and tone!
  • Tarot-sized Sign cards, to hold and use at the table!
  • Fully fleshed out Domain of the Screaming Spire! With tables!
  • A starting adventure! Maybe?
  • More trinkets by the score! D444 tables! Branching tables?

Thank you for taking a look, and feel free to let us know what your goblins find out there.  Feel free to reach out with any thoughts or questions at porchlightdusk [at] gmail !

Love and solidarity!
