Terra Odd

v0.2.1

Terra Odd is a hack of Cairn / Into the Odd that aims to allow games to be played in different genres and aesthetics. The first hack is for Degenesis.

The main difference is the addition of a modular Ruin mechanic, based on Oddular Mechanics. Backgrounds and Bonds, alongside Ruin, are thematically specific for each game. Inventory slots are treated as Burdens, with no mechanical change.

This repo also contains my GM materials for planning & running sessions. It is not always organised.

This webpage and the repository are a fork from Yochai Gal.'s Cairn. Cairn is based on Knave by Ben Milton and Into The Odd by Chris McDowall.
