Inkwarren builds on itself with some optional subsystems to enhance your play— the Alignment system measures your characters’ allegiances and reputation within Cairnadal, the Tongues system makes language and culture a core focus of story, along with Crafting, Cooking, and Alchemy systems to boot.

Hi all! I’m Matt, currently based in ATL and working on a TTRPG called Inkwarren! Inkwarren is a dark fantasy TTRPG of tarot tactics and woodland folklore. In Inkwarren, you play as a woodlander— a heroic animal denizen of the great, dark woodland of Cairnadal. Let’s talk about the game below!
