Sordid Truths of Fire
A downloadable TTRPG
You are a pyromancer, an avatar of flame. Kleptothermic parasites have frozen your world.
You must walk the line between fire and flame-- feeding off of and transforming into the things which feed off of your energy-- without losing your sense of self in the drifting snow.
Sordid Truths of Fire is a classless, rules-lite TTRPG. It uses a roll-under system and is basically the bastard child of games like Tunnel Goons and The Black Hack. This 16-pager is illustrated in B/W but it's ink-heavy. A printer-friendly version of the game will be available soon.
If I meet my itch sales goal of $150, I'll add a 20-page dungeon to this page for everyone to enjoy.

This is so good. Sordid Truths of Fire fucks.
You flatter me, but I’m here for it.
Sordidfirespreads is a very amusing file name.
Oh my god someone finally noticed.
I can finally rest.
THE RITUAL IS COMPLETE.
I’m just gonna start by saying I’m a sucker for roll-under systems. With that out of the way, this looks so elegant and so much fun. The constant balance between being consumed by fire or ice, the trade-offs you have to think about, and powers you might gain if you go over the edge. I haven’t played it yet, but now I’m dying to. Not to mention it’s just beautifully laid out.
