I removed the game from public access because it has been superseded by this one! The Complete Pariah Sandbox contains all the material you need to run a game of Pariah. It is very much a work in progress, but I wanted to be clear that this replaces rather than augments PARIAH Volume 1.
If you previously bought or downloaded Pariah on itch then you can still access the game through https://itch.io/my-purchases. What's more, a reduced price PoD edition of Volume 1 is still available on Drive Thru RPG if you don't already own the original and would like to.
Do you have any suggestions about the magic? I've introduced it into my first session I'm running an Anglo-Saxon druid magic game and thought this ssystem would be great. But I'm trying to get my head around the system
I think making the Other Realms fit the themes of your game is a good start. If you're doing Anglo Saxons vs. druids then maybe fitting it to the celtic pantheon could be cool. Think of realms like domains or schools of magic in 5e if it helps,
Otherwise, if it's the improvised magic or the connection to hit dice that isn't landing for you, the system from which it's derived is worth a look:
Thank s, I sat on that for a while, glad I finally went with it. Mostly I want to provide more world generating procedures so it's easy to get a campaign up and running, I think this was sorely missed from the original volume.
After reading through everything here, I started reading through the older one again, and remembered how much I love the Healing/Spellcasting balance of Pariah. I remember it being really inspirational to the game I was running at the time. Excited to see more!

are you planning on making any of these POD? either as small zines, or as a small book with additional zines?
I cannot seem to find the actual Pariah game link any more?

Oh thank you!

The system was the invention of Arnold Kemp but I think Spwack's version (above) is pretty neat.
But I may have gone off the rails a bit there. Is there anything specific I can help you with?
awesome, i just stumbled upon this project. im also making an animist inspired game. this is a very cool structure youre using.
Thank you kindly! I appreciate your support.
Animism is such a rich and varied world view, I'm always excited to see what other creators are doing.
..and in spirit of that comment (pun intended), I'd like to share some blogs by other rpg creators that explore it in their own way:

Keep me up to date on your project please!
thanks!
I will return to this and these links as i continue to organize the project

I really like some of the changes I see! Removing attributes is normally a step too far for me, but the trait system is nice and elegant.
