Avian Adventures: A TTRPG for Small Birds
A downloadable game
Avian Adventures is a tabletop role-playing game that lets you play as small magical birds in a world full of dangers and opportunities. You can explore different habitats, interact with other birds and animals, and face various challenges and threats unique to avian life. As a magical bird, you have access to unique powers bestowed upon you by ancient avian spirits that created the sacred Chorus Seeds. You will need to harness those powers to successfully make your way through the Wild and keep your nest safe.
You need to have one facilitator (Birdkeeper) and at least one player (Bird) to play this game, along with a typical set of roleplaying dice. This game is heavily influenced by Cairn by Yochai Gal (itch.io) (with some adjustments).

Neat game, with lots of good ideas. I have to wonder, though, why are the Birdsongs like that? They all feel pretty DnD-y and not something that fits very well, which is strange considering the phenomenal work put into adapting Roles for this world of birds.
Also, I've found a few possible mistakes that may be remnants of a past version of the game: a reference to Modifiers in 'Playing the Game' when the system seems to be roll-under and multiple references to ft measurements in the Birdsong Descriptions, despite even the combat system not wanting to deal with feet and using zones instead.
i have no idea how many times this sent
I have uploaded the updated version of the game, fixing the Birdsongs. I simplified the layout as well.
I know what you mean. I need to go in and redo all the Birdsongs, honestly. I leaned hard into the avian theme of the game, but my Birdsongs are very weak and do not reflect that theme (as you said). I need to look at it harder for this next update; this is actually the first draft, so I've got some work to do! Definitely some other oversights in there, too. Thanks for the feedback. :)
