The Fallen Yakkamakina

Yakka: the spirit guardians of the world before. Yakkamakina: mechanized reconstructions by wizard-smiths. Now fallen and mostly unused after the failure of the last World Revolution.

Delve deep into one of these repurposed war machines. Find out the truth within its hollowed out shell, its missing circuitry, its broken karma engine. Walk forth and surrender.

THE FALLEN YAKKAMAKINA is a dungeon about a joss laundering front inside an abandoned ancient war machine. It hearkens to how we coped and lived with the realities of a post-war, post-revolutionary world. This is written for SUNDANG, the New Weird Absurdist Spirit Cultivation RPG. That's not out yet (it will be soon, and for free!) but it's going through playtesting over on the Patreon.  But it's easily adaptable to any OSR/NSR game.

With a few quick conversions you can easily use this for any dungeon-crawl focused game!

The game layout is inspired by lontar/palm leaf manuscript. If you want to print the game out, its dimensions are 287mmx105mm. Essentially half a lengthwise A4. You can print it out the Printable version and print them back-to-back and cut it down the middle, then twine them together by punching holes in the middle.
