Texas Squirrel Trafficker $1.00

Texas Squirrel Trafficker: $1.00

Publisher: Ivanhoe Unbound

It was all going so well. As usual, a large group of you were moving across the border from Mexico to Texas, carrying much-needed prescription drugs for the uninsured poor. But then the border patrol ambushed your crew, and you were the only one who escaped. You made it to a border town, and all you can do is keep moving, get to your meet point. It's too late to go back now.

Oh, and you're a squirrel, and you're carrying the pills in a hollowed-out acorn.

 

This is a one-player tabletop RPG that's an unholy fusion of Golf Solitaire and Alone in the Ancient City.

You'll need a standard 52 card deck, a six-sided die, a writing utensil, and a lot of paper, maybe a little journal. You'll need a flat place where you can place at least 40 or so cards on the table. Poker chips might be helpful.

Price: $1.00

The two of you have worked hard your whole life, side by side, to improve the world around you. Perhaps you created an exo-skeleton to help workers. Perhaps you built a machine to save the world. All the way, you built a relationship. One that deepened with every hammer hit and flash of sparks. Now on the cusp of the dawn of a new era, you are betrayed. One will lose the other, and you will have to find a way to save the world from your own creation.

Inspired by the work of The Protomen, “Act II: The Father of Death”, With These Hands We Will Destroy, With These Hands We Will Rebuild will have you telling the story of people trying their best to create a better world only to watch their creation be used against them.

Confidence of the Stars [Free]

Confidence of the Stars [Free]:

There are times where instead of looking to others, or to ourselves, we confide in the world around us, or in the stars high above.

Confidence of the Stars is made up of 2 games. Both are hacks of Takuma Okada's Alone Among the Stars.

✦ The Shooting Stars ✦

You are a tiny spark in a vast universe. One person among billions. On one planet among countless. Every now and then, a star falls and you make a wish.

✦ Confiding Alone ✦

You are a world filled with thoughts, feelings, and emotions. Not all of these are things you want to share with others. But there are other things you can confide in: the stars, a potted plant, a boulder, a lantern, etc.

A Game of Surreal Revolution Against Dreamlike Oppressors

Made with the Resistance Toolbox, as seen in Spire

If I don't see tomorrow then it must be black... --"Sacrifice," Front 242

They're human. You know that much. They have human desires and needs. And human cruelty. But they change constantly. What year is it? 1793. 1848. 1936. 1932. 2018. 2064. 3124.... Where are you? The United States, France, China, the Lunar Colonies, Alpha Centauri... Sometimes they look human, sometimes less so. But they're still human; never forget that. They're not monsters by nature: They made a choice to be this way. They are the Authority.

Who are you? Well, your name and personality remain the same over time, even if other things don't. You have that much.

Your future selves and the locusts with the faces of human children assure you that after tomorrow, it will be too late. Tomorrow you will be declared illegal because of your body shape, skin color, beliefs, heritage, choice in lovers...  It's time to fight back. Otherwise, you'll be facing tyranny, forever.

Assuming your fellow revolutionaries don't stab you in the back.

As you walk among the people, draped in warm earth-toned textiles, arms outspread as if to say, I welcome you all - you perform miracles for the church, bringing back to the fold all those poor suckers who thought none of this priesthood shit was true.

That is, until you are caught off guard by fate, by temptation.

Custodians of the Galaxy $5.00

Custodians of the Galaxy: $5.00

Publisher: Onyx Path Publishing

Custodians of the Galaxy is a stand alone RPG system originally published on Roll20.net

In Custodians of the Galaxy, you and your players will take the helm and try to rescue a Sci Fi TV show which is in production hell. The scripts have been deemed total garbage and you and your cast need to do an emergency rewrite. The costumes, props, and set pieces have all been created. But what on earth will the story be? Will the characters strain credibility with overwrought dialogue and outlandish tropes and lose the audience? Or will their sensitive portrayals and heroic exploits keep the audience riveted? This is not a dungeon crawl. The main rule is "would this make great television?"

Key Gameplay Mechanics

• You can write for anyone, not just your own character. So, you can say “The guards are conveniently not looking my way”
• You can also write for the whole scene. So, you could say “Just then, the cops come through the front door.”
• The more advantage you try to write for yourself the more difficult the dice roll required.
• The TV character you are writing for, your Custodian, has a Modus Operandi which defines what works for them. It’s their schtick and their “powers”. IE: Lost Girl with Psychic Powers, Scruffy-Looking Nerf Herder, Operator with a Particular Set of Skills.
• Your Custodian has terrible stats, but they have a pool of Daring Dice which are like advantage dice in D&D. So, you can choose when to be awesome and how much so.
• You will also have “Canned Tropes” such as Slow Mo Bullet Dodge, Wire Fighting Technique, Slow Walk, Knuckle Cracking, Blood is the New Black, Nobody Here but Us Birds, and Unlikely CPR.

Custodians of the Galaxy was originally published on Roll20.net and the pdf of the rulebook is made available here on Drivethru RPG. Custodians was first developed as a tabletop RPG so the rulebook for sale here (which is the Roll20 rulebook) adapts easily to the table.

GOBLINAUTS: Goblins in Space (playtest) [$5.00]

GOBLINAUTS: Goblins in Space [$5.00]:

To get away from those oppressive talls, we left Earth. Left behind all the horrible shit humans and the rest did to each other, all the violence and hate.

Many discussions were had. Everyone agreed the moon was too close. We were farther along than others, technologically, but they weren’t that far behind. If we were that close, it’d be only a matter of decades, at most, before we’d once again struggle with their boots on our necks. Especially in the shadow of the Earth itself. Nah, the Moon was definitely too close.

Mars was a contentious point. We were fairly certain we could settle it, several of our brightest minds already had the tech needed to begin, but that megalomaniacal fascist billionaire already had his eyes on turning Mars into a space slave colony… oh, sorry, it was indentured servitude. If not decades, only a century or more would see us once again in conflict with those terrible capitalists. No, Mars, too… was too close.

The Belt was the only place we could see to settle. So to the belt we went. In giant secret ships, almost every Goblin left the Earth and its terrible denizens behind.

Two-hundred years we’ve been here, on our own. Two hundred years of peace. Now they come knockin', once again, but I’ll be damned if we are gonna give up ground twice. We ain’t gonna let them push us out, and we aren't going to let them treat us like they used too.

Any questions you have are going into this Q&A, which will also help inform me of what I should focus on next in development! Feel free to ask Questions in the comments here, or on twitter :)

Goblinauts, as an idea, formed and created in only 3 days, it started as a fun and quick throw away idea for the GoblinWeek2020 Jam. However, as I built it, I found more I wanted to add, until it's slowly, or rather-very quickly, became a labor of love.  17 pages of content and counting!

In the last 3 days I have worked to create a fun and straight forward, pbta style game that as is, is comparatively light but completely playable.

While playable, I am not done with the game yet, and anyone who gets in at the ground floor, here, will help fund the work needed and allow me to dedicate some additional time to tightening and expanding the game in the following ways:

• Add Art. As an artist and as a sci-fi and goblin fanatic, I look forward to including so much art for this game, unfortunately at the moment, almost all my time has been dedicated to paying work. Sales on this will help to give me some breathing room to work on the game.
• Enhance Layout. I have so many Ideas for the layout, to improve and tighten it up. I'm still fairly new to indesign and layout, but I know with a lil extra time and elbow grease I can get something really cool and thematic.
• Expand Rules. Expand on the currently simple and direct Community mechanics, add some special moves for the Goblins, and just really tighten and expand on the game.

It is exceptionally likely that as the game fleshes out, I'll be increasing the price to reflect the content and work that goes into improvements, so getting in early gets you access to the game at a cheaper price point then it may be down the line.

Support this game at or above a special price point to receive something exclusive.

Each copy of Space Goblins you buy helps someone else grab a free copy if their budget doesn't enable them to pay the listed price. If you're unable to budget for a copy of Space Goblins priced as listed, please claim one of these free copies for the community.

If you previously claimed a community copy and for any reason you decide you'd like to pay for it (which please know that this isn't something you have to do, community copies are there for you to claim and keep), use this option and I'll drop an extra community copy into the pile to replace the one you claimed and help someone else check out the game!

One Particular Harbor [$10.00]

One Particular Harbor [$10.00]:

THE ISLES OF CARCATOU HAVE NO OWNER...

Merfolk, sailors, and pirates creating messy entanglements while fighting with their allies and falling in love with their enemies all as they try to claim or preserve the independence of a remote chain of islands in the middle of the sea.

One Particular Harbor is based on the amazing Mobile Frame Zero: Firebrands by Vincent and Meguey Baker.

Choose your faction - the merfolk, noble guardians who can trade their fins for legs at their whim, the pirates who treat the islands as a place of rest and tentative peace between voyages, or the Royal Navy who seek to claim the island in the name of their queen - and play out your story; fighting (and flirting) to determine the fate of the islands.

One Particular Harbor consists of eleven minigames and requires no materials other than the downloaded PDF and a coin to toss. It is GMless and requires no prep and can be played as a one shot for groups of 3-5 players.

One Particular Harbor utilizes the X,N, and O cards as safety tools - as outlined in the TTRPG Safety Toolkit by Lauren Bryant-Monk and Kienna Shaw.

Goblins in Shadow [$5.00]

Goblins in Shadow [$5.00]:

GOBLINS IN SHADOW is a roleplaying game about goblin resistance and revolution in an age of elven oppression. It’s a world of clockwork and magic, of smoke and shadow. Players will take on the roles of a cell of goblin revolutionaries, working to undermine the elves and humans who have conquered their homeland and built an empire on its corpse. They’ll advance their goals by taking on scores, missions that gather sympathy for their cause or take direct action against their oppressors, ending in a final attempt to assassinate one of the elven ministers ruling the city. To do that, they’ll need to avoid being caught by the Watch or the Hounds, the elite special police of the city; they’ll also need to balance their obligations to the various factions of the city, as well as their own personal obligations.

The rule of elves will be broken by goblins in shadow.

CONTENT WARNINGS:

• Expected: death or dying; systemic oppression; body horror (each goblin starts play with a body part that is either modified or replaced with a prosthetic or elven body part, voluntarily or not at the player’s discretion); classism; weapons
• Possible: Physical or verbal abuse; excessive violence; hostages and kidnapping; blood; animal cruelty or death; drug use; guns; smoking

GOBLINS IN SHADOW is currently in Early Access, meaning it's a fully-playable game right now but needs work to achieve its final form.

Maps and Legends (playtest) [Free]

Maps and Legends [Free]:

Maps and Legends is a map-drawing game created for the Record Collection Jam 2020 and is inspired by the R.E.M. album Fables of the Reconstruction. Taking place during a year of the town's mayoral election, players describe a small town, the people living in it, and the changes that happen over that year.

The game works best with 3-5 players and will take around 2-4 hours to play. Players will need a deck of cards, a sheet of paper, and some pens or pencils.

Maps and Legends is strongly inspired by Avery Alder's The Quiet Year. It is currently at Version 0.1 and I hope to continue to make improvements and add more to the game.
