The Rimeguard is an interesting defender job. You have 1 HP, but specialize in Temp HP. You can either stack it on yourself to be a bulky interposing defender, or give it to allies as a more fragile, backline defender. #BeaconRPG

I unabashedly love the 4e Warlord, which is why I added an inspired equivalent to BEACON! (Also, it's a really strong, fun job).

I main a Black Mage in FF14, and designed BEACON's Equinox to FEEL similar, balancing between two resources. Plus, a bonus for planting your butt in one place and not moving!

Did you know that in BEACON, anyone can get Lich powers? It's a talent line that anyone can access and start the game with!

One of my favorite parts of the different RPG projects I've done is getting to see cool artwork. It's fun to look back at some of the design variations. (artist Alli Grimes)

The BEACON itch page has been updated with a Hardcover purchase option

Oh yea, there will be 3 new ancestries in BEACON: Prismaxia as well! First up are the Canines!

Happy #FreeRPGDay! As a reminder, you can get all the player facing rules and material for BEACON for free! pirategonzalezgames.itch.io/beacon-ttrpg

The Knightmare job for BEACON. The design philosophy behind the Knightmare was basically "I want a dark knight job, and I don't yet have a grapple focused job."

Undead that use worthless, fake coins that they insist have value. Crypt currency. Is that anything?

Show me your BEACON books when you get them, I love to see them in the wild!

BEACON hardcovers are rolling in!
