The Last Caravan: A Cars and Aliens Tabletop RPG!

The Last Caravan: A Cars and Aliens RPG is a upcoming TTRPG all about surviving in a post-invasion world. Fight for a future of your making by travelling across a snow covered United States, facing off against aliens, negotiating peace, and forging a new world in a time of darkness.

They arrived only a few weeks back. The Two Months War ravaged the world. Now, all is silent.

The government has fallen. Whoever (or whatever) came from above were destroyed by targeted nukes. Their ships fell from the skies and have remained still. The whole world has gone quiet.

The last vestige of our fallen world is The Republic of Saint Francis, a growing community trying to pull itself from the brink of destruction.

But things have begun to heat up again. Checkpoints are being set up by the alien forces to capture any remaining flickers of humanity. Their purpose is unknown, but they are getting stronger day by day. And one day soon, if no one does anything, The Republic may also fall…

Each player begins by choosing a playbook. Choose between the Bandage, the helpful healer; the Bruiser, the protector; the Good Boi, the loyal animal companion; the Innocent, the coming of age kid; the Lookout, the scout; the Star-Gazer, the researcher and scientist; the Talker, the charismatic negotiator; and the Wrench, the gear nut. Choose your background to help determine your starting bonuses.

Each player will then choose where to place their four Gambit dots. Gambits are skills that you utilize throughout the game. Each dot determines how many d6 you roll. You roll that number of d6s, then take the highest number rolled as your skill check score. If you roll a 6, you unconditionally succeed; on a 4-5, you succeed with a minor complication; on a 1-3, you totally fail, gaining major complications.

Once your Gambits are chosen, choose your Special Ability to help you survive. Finish off by choosing your Inadequacy, offering unique roleplay options as you face off against this deadly world.

Will you be able to broker a peace between humanity and the alien invaders? Or will you and your party take a more explosive approach?

The Last Caravan comes out in October, 2023! Back your copy here!

Triangle Agency!

Triangle Agency is a upcoming paranormal horror-comedy TTRPG where players will discover strange and alien anomalies that plague our world. Bend reality, investigate mysteries, and stop the total destruction of our dimension!

Each player begins by exploring the three  character focuses: Anomaly, Reality, and Competency. Each of these categories comes with nine different character options to customize from. Anomaly will dictate what your special powers will be; Reality influences what character connections you have in the world; and Competency is your role within the Agency. Combine multiple options together to create a truly unique character!

After everyone has built their characters, players will then have to build three Relationships with NPCs that will guide their character forward. Each of these characters will be played not by the General Manager (Game Master), but instead by other players at the table. Work together to help build your NPCs and create a history for the party to goof around with.

While you are an Agent, that doesn’t mean you get to go around telling everybody. Whatever hijinks you get up to, you will need to keep your personal life in check. If you don’t, someone or something may start looking into what you are up to…

Players will also get to have a direct influence on the wild state of the world. Players may roll to change the face of reality itself using the d4 Stability dice. However, every time it is used, the General Manager introduces Chaos into your reality. Each bit of Chaos builds on itself, one pesky brick at a time…

Gimmick Zero!

Gimmick Zero is a upcoming roleplaying game with highly customizable world building rules and gameplay modes! Dive into a sci-fi world filled with evil corporations, strange creatures, and techno-punk robots!

Our world is on the brink of disaster. The Zero Event caused alien creatures to puncture the walls of our reality, invading our planet, and turning cities into bloodbaths. To hold back the horde, corporations have developed massive war robots known as ‘Gimmicks’. These machines are are able to hunt and destroy these hordes without human causalities.

However, these Gimmicks occasionally malfunction, becoming controlled by the very things they were made to destroy. When these mechs are turned against humanity, only Weapons, a group of human mercenaries, are able to go out into the wastes and make repairs. But along the way, they will need to face off against these dangerous abberations, rogue machines, and maybe even each other…

The players and Game Master begin the game by rolling dice over a series of tables to help determine the rules of your world. You will be able to roll for the types of monsters you may encounter, different Gimmick corporations, and for what cataclysmic event that changed your world forever. From there, Game Masters will be able to craft the story start to finish.

Once you have your world, players will be able to build their characters. Each player will take on the role of a Weapon, protected with Nano Armor tech, gifted with as many guns and blades as they can handle. Each character has access to multiple different character classes, each with their own unique ability. As you level up, you will be able to invent your own abilities for your character instead of relying on the book. Give yourself access to jetpacks, mech riding abilities, and more!

Gimmick Zero comes out in August, 2023! Back your copy here!
