Hey all, I've been working on a micro skirmish game called Iron Buckets, and I'm looking for people to try it out.

Iron Buckets is a micro skirmish game about barely-functioning mechs battling for the crowd. Buckets are massive industrial titans originally built for deep-space harvesting and conquest. Though they once dominated the stars, most were left to rot on forgotten battlefields after the Metallium Carta banned their deployment in war. Now, they have been salvaged and reactivated for far more profitable business than war: entertainment.

Games are played with 3 mechs per player and use a dice-based activation system. It is designed to be quick to learn and play.

If you would like to help with playtesting and provide feedback, I would be very grateful! Any feedback is welcome.

The rules are available on Itch: https://fromniki.itch.io/iron-buckets

Haha, thank you, I'm glad you liked it! Hope your boxer was able to pay off their debt :)

The most promising prospect...

That’s what they called you until one punch changed everything.  

Now, no belt, no spotlight.  Now they call you... a Journeyman.

Journeyman is a print-and-play solo role-playing game where you play as a boxer who's nearing retirement. You have 10 fights left in you, maybe even less. The problem is, you're drowning in debt, $6500 in total.

Becoming a champion isn't even a dream anymore. You're just trying to pay off your debt.

But deep inside, there’s a flame that hasn’t gone out yet. Faint but still burning. After all, it only takes one punch.

Details:

• Solo Roleplaying Game about sports drama
• 45–90 minutes per full career (10 fights)
• Fast and cinematic fights with simple but tense dice mechanics
• Optional light journaling, record your fights, scars, and glory
• You'll need: A set of six-sided dice (d6s) and writing utensils

Enjoy!

Thank you!

Thank you!

The demo of Herald of the Mists is now available!

Herald of the Mists is an interactive fiction where every dice roll shapes your fate. You play as the Queen's Herald and traverse a mist-shrouded realm to uncover the fate of her lost army. Will your choices uphold loyalty, or lead you down a path of betrayal?

This is an early version of the game, so you might run into some bugs or rough spots. Let me know what you think, what you love and what you hate about it. I'd really appreciate your feedback!
