Hey there, I'm Ross! Through Weird Specialty Games, I make tabletop RPGs and other games - all with a signature quirky twist! Here are some of my favourite projects:
Don't miss class! Lofi Bards to Study and Relax To is here! You and your friends are students at a magical high-school, college or university and exams are coming up! Go on magical adventures, reveal ancient secrets and forge deep bonds with your friends - just make sure you don’t miss class!
- 100+ Pages of Content!
- Rules for Study and Adventure: Manage your Stress Level, Chill Out with lofi beats to unwind after an adventure, and Pull an All-Nighter to get an edge on the next day's challenges - just be careful not to Freak Out!
- Rules for Nostalgia and Emotion: Write down your Treasured Memories and trigger Nostalgia when your character reminisces on them, gain different benefits based on whether your memories evoke a sense of Passion, Joy or Melancholy, and Dig Deeper to forge emotional bonds with NPCs and Players alike!
- Rules for Skills and Spellcasting: Choose your Disciplines (Athletics, Finesse, Nature, Lore and Performance) to determine your skills, and choose your Arcane Arts (Alteration, Focus, Force and Manipulation) to determine how your character uses magic - with magical abilities changing the associated Arcane Art you add to them based on how you want your character to use them!
- 25+ Playable Heritages: Character origins encompassing everything from Elves and Orcs to Automatons and Undead!
- 60+ Knacks: Magical and Mundane abilities that let you cast magic or showcase your martial prowess!
- 40 Adventure Hooks: Plot threads a GM can weave into their game to kickstart a quest!
- 95 Miscellaneous Artifacts: Magic wands, phoenix-down pillows, restless quills, hyperconcentration hourglasses and mugs that summon all manner of coffees and cocoas!
- 35+ Magical Cassettes: Arcane Tapes that release their magical energy when playing music!
- 15+ Notestrider Upgrades: Magical augmentations that give your fantasy cassette player new capabilities!
As you play, your characters will experience the joys of friendship, the loneliness of late nights, the tension of education and the excitement of exploring the mysterious magical world for the first time. That's the heart of the game: that mixture of happiness, melancholy, peace and turmoil that encapsulates not only the lofi genre, but the experience of growing up.
Take over the world, one stumble at a time! Goobers - a game about gelatinous gremlins taking over the world - is on its way! Inspired by rules-light TTRPGs like Dungeon World, and videogames like Fall Guys, Gang Beasts and Human Fall Flat, you will use ingenuity, insanity and lateral thinking to overcome obstacles and challenges and help the Goobers take over the world. The rules are simple and intuitive, but the possibilities are endless. Take a look if you like your games crazy, comedic and chaotic!
Your Goober will waddle around with loose, floppy movements and their attempts to build, explore and battle will all be similarly chaotic. Whether tumbling down steep cliffs, leaping over pits of lava or firing explosives at your enemies, you will likely never be in full control, so just embrace the wild, random chaos of the Goobers and go with the flow - you might even be able to use it your advantage!
