Soul Burner
A downloadable game
Soul Burner is a standalone tabletop roleyplaying game of adventuring ashen corpses wandering a volcanic ghostland in service of the gods of fate, protecting the timeline from iminent disaster by manifesting fractured memories to shape the world to their will. Compatible with Mork Borg and inspired by Necronautilus, this game acts as a bridge between worlds of violent dark fantasy and stoner metal science fantasy.
Ash's warping corpses are made of REMINDERS, their memories manifested in makeshift limbs that allow them to interact with the living world from their wandering afterlife. In lieu of stats and weapons, Reminders are the solitary method of interacting with the forces around them, so players are encouraged to creatively interpret and adjust their powers as needed to suit their desires.
A simple d20 system inspired by Mork Borg is intuitive and easy for any roleplayer to command the forces of Fate. Players fulfill and manipulate Prophecies in an effort to maintain the timeline and prevent the volcanic island continent of Cauter from collapsing into apocalypse.
Characters, creatures, countries, and callings are quickly generated using innovative d21 and d14 randomizers, integrating the interpretive nature of tarot and oracle cards with expected dice mechanics for a dynamic ever-changing challenging setting to traverse. Rules included for a Gamemaster to guide the journey or use these oracles in the place of proper guidance, making solo and gm-less play readily available.
Includes:
Soul Burner: 84 page complete rule book
Ash: a new breed of player character, a burnt corpse with a soul stuck inside composed of ever-changing subjective memory
Bestiary: over a dozen creatures to combat ranging from wild egrets to lava-worshiping chaos cultists
The Boiling Blood of God: a dungeon crawl through torturous churches new and old
Randomizers: dozens of character options, encounters, regions, and adventure generators using both tarot cards and dice for an immersive play experience through a land of destiny.

Hi, what fonts were used for Soul Burner?
I had an incredible time flipping through this game on stream. It is so freaking good!
heck yes, excellent video!
Soul Burner is YET ANOTHER absolute BANGER of a game from World Champ! Such sick aesthetics and a fantastic melding of themes and mechanics.
Loving the oracle and expanded tables via Tarot. Also the creature, region and mission generation via tarot spreads is so so so solid. I've been reading dungeon divinations by max moon, which is about using tarot to esoterically generate dungeons (that's the best short desccription i can give), and this seems like the perfect pairing since it is incorporating tarot in an interesting and dynamic way. would love to play this soon
