Downpour (TTRPG)
A downloadable Fan Made TTRPG
Downpour is a TTRPG set in the post apocalyptic wastelands of Rain World after the fall of the ancients. This book is a purely mechanical guide for those familiar with the world of Rain World and thus, contains no lore or settings details. They may be added in the future, but some level of lore understanding is required to make this game work (the wiki and daszombes/povketz lore videos are super helpful in that regard). Anyway, this has been a huge passion project of mine for the last few months and I hope to share it with you! Enjoy!

Fillable Character Google Sheet
Just a note: it uses another TTRPG's google sheet character sheet as a base, so I'll be doing some fixing and changing in the future.

Hi again, I have a question, i searche don wiki and the internet but I can't find any good maps for this game. If someone knows or has good rainworld maps (i mean images of rooms from the game) could someone post them here or send them or give a link? I would greatly apreciate it.
Hi, i have a question, maybe im blind and dont see the info in the book or perhaps its up to my interpretation but for how long can a normal slugcat breathe under water/Hold their breath?
nah you’re not blind I’m just stupid. I literally forgot to add it. I can’t edit right now because I’m on vacation (I’ll try to remember when I get back). Just off the top of my head (and based on the criminally low amount of time a scug can hold its breath in game), I’d probably say a number of seconds equal to fortitude? Sorry it’s a little rough, but it should work for the time being. Only issue if foresee is holding breath in combat so in that case probably round to the nearest multiple of 10 to get how many rounds of combat that lasts. It’s definitely a pretty small number so double fortitude might be more forgiving (and fun), but hopefully that helps. I’ll try to put out a new version with this and 9 month old spelling mistake as soon as I can but with my work ethic, poor memory, and other projects, it might be a bit.
really sorry about that :(
Nah my friend you good.Thanks for the reply, i will just write it into the book. Thank you again and stay safe.
hello! May I ask if there’s a discord for this TTRPG? I really wanna play it so badly but can’t find anyone to play it with.
Hey, sorry about the extremely belated reply. I'm flattered, but unfortunately there isn't a discord for this project. What modest amount traction it's garnered already is honestly mind blowing to me! This was a messy (and barely playtested) passion project of mine that I just put up on the internet and the fact that people have seen it, much less actually enjoyed it has kinda floored me. If you can't find anybody to play it with, have you tried going to a local game store (if there's one near you, ofc)? In my experience, they usually host free TTRPG game nights so you might be able to find a group there. Hope that helps!
Edit: Typos
it’s fine and totally understandable, do not worry^^ and also unfortunately I don’t have any game stores near me. Their either to far away or just not in my range. I usually just play ttrpgs on calls with close friends- not really comfortable with going to games stores for that ngl, I do apologize, I’m not meaning to brush off your suggestion, I’m just wanted to put context.
Nah that’s totally fine I get it. Not everybody has a local game store and playing a TTRPG with total strangers is a huge ask of somebody anyway. I myself, haven’t played TTRPGS in a few months for similar reasons, so I definitely feel your pain! Hope you eventually find a group to play this with though!
Edit: sorry for the late reply btw, I’ve been on vacation for the past two weeks and finally got a quick break to respond :/
I don't know if there is a place for stuff like this but there is a typo at page 10
"Subterranean: Choose from any of the following
perks:
You can conceal yourself like a dropwig. You can the stealth skill"
Oh shit I can't believe I missed that. I have an update in works, so the typo should be fixed once said update goes live.
Edit: Thanks for pointing it out btw. If you find any more, just tell me so I can take them out back!
Why isn't this more famous? I've been looking everywhere for a rain world rpg!
Honestly, this got more traction than I expected lol. I'm super glad you stumbled across my silly little fangame and hope you like it!
hi, and the card for the players?
Do you mean character sheets? I should probably add a download for those :/
I added a download for the character sheet :)
Thanks, why didn't you make it editable?
I'm not very good with PDFs lmao. It's meant to be printed out. I probably should have accounted for digital only players though. I'll probably try to figure out how to make a fillable version either later today or tomorrow. Either way, I'll get back to you when I get around to it!
Oh, thank you :)))))
Hey, so I looked into it, and the only real way for me to get that done (at least in a way within my abilities) is to use adobe acrobat, which, as you likely already know, is very expensive. However, I can make a fillable web hosted character sheet through google sheets or I can link to the canva page so people can make their own copies they can write in. Does that work for you? I can keep trying to find ways to make a fillable pdf without a sketchy website or acrobat though, it may just take a little longer.
