wow! a sibiling game, I didn't even see your submission and mine has some things in common (cyberpunk theme and ball), what a funny coincidence :)
Did you get the overdrive mechanic from warcry? I also saw the stacking dice thingy in blackstone fortress. I've been meaning to use those in a game too.
Either way they're very cool mechanics and they fit your game very well.
PS. and a hint of gaslands! I'm in if you want to play this on TTS sometime

I did get the Overdrive thing from Warcry. I’m really into taking old games like Yatzhee, poker, etc and trying to make those mechanics work in a Miniature’s game. I haven’t played Blackstone Fortress. I was just trying to think of a way to make the pit phase seem tense and kind of illustrate the skill it would take to work on these racers in the short amount of time. I have polyhedral dice all over so I just started stacking.
I want to do a TTS session sometime. It would be cool to make my own module.
Thank you though. I will have to check out Cyberball. I love sports games.
Thanks for the kind words Adalil!
We actually originally had "Cyberball" in the draft title until we saw your post in the Discord! Guess we all have androids on the brain haha
Like johnnyrabbi said, our initial idea was to take an old-school game like Yahtzee and combine it with a card game. It just sort of spun out from there. We were really excited about the dice stacking mechanic as a test of speed, skill, and as metaphor for the Pit Crew's quick work. Everyone has the experience of distractedly stacking dice while playing D&D, but under a short time limit it becomes a bit more challenging!
I'm not familiar with the other games you mentioned, will have to check them out sometime. Congrats on completing your One Page!
