Hey! Thanks for supporting the game! The character sheets can be found at https://kidnick.itch.io/hometown-holiday-character-sheets

     Deep Submergence Vehicle is an efficient yet wondrously open-ended game. It highlights the powerful simplicity of the Caltrop Core system while adding some clever mechanics of its own.

     This is a GM-less RPG, with players taking turns to tell the story of their submarine on its mission of exploration and discovery. This is done by answering questions provided by the game, and this is where the game shines. The players can choose which questions to answer, and the questions themselves offer enough prompt to inspire creativity but are not so leading as to be constricting.

     As players narrate their journey, they'll also be spending tokens to roll dice for things like making discoveries, making difficult maneuvers in their DSV, and resolving dangerous situations. While rolling leads to a safer and more rewarding adventure, it also pushes players closer to the Disaster, a climactic finale to the mission from which the exploration team may not escape alive. The Disaster mechanic smartly provides a finite end to game while also guaranteeing an exciting conclusion.

      DSV is easy to get into, explores an uncommon setting for RPGs, gives players inspiration and freedom to tell their own story, and is mechanically built to not overstay its welcome. Definitely give it a shot!

haha thank you! I hope you get a chance to :)

I just published my submission for https://itch.io/profile/titanomachyrpg 's Super Secret No-Pressure Caltrop Core Jam! It's a TTRPG built on the host's Caltrop Core engine.

Gawrsh Quest is a survival horror dungeon-crawler where everyone plays a different version of legally-distinct-from-Goofy. And one of those goofs is a cannibal.

It's free-or-donate, and I'd appreciate some eyes on it! I know the theme is strange to say the least, but I'm very proud of the mechanics. It's the crunchiest game I've made yet and I really enjoyed designing using someone else's system for the first time.

Ever wanted to star in your own cheesy holiday romcom?

https://kidnick.itch.io/hometown-holiday

     It’s the holiday season once again in your quaint small town. There are carols to be sung, decorations to be hung, and charming small businesses to be run. But with all of this holly-jolly hubbub, who has time for love? If only there was an equal-parts gorgeous and bland idiot to show you what this time of year is all about...

     As it turns out, there is! However, you are not the only one looking for love this December, and this town ain’t big enough for all of you (it’s a small town, remember). Flirt, blunder, and trope your way to romance and earn your single chaste kiss with the dazzling dullard of your dreams.     Hometown Holiday is a comedy/romance roleplaying game for 2-5 players and one GM. Players chose from one of six character classes inspired by tropes from Hallmark and Netflix holiday movies and compete to woo their shared love interest and complete secret objectives! Will you play as uptight businessman who needs to learn the meaning of Christmas? Maybe you run a quaint coffee shop on Main Street and find yourself smitten with a handsome prince! But wait, you forgot to make latkes for the PTA meeting!

Beginner-Friendly, Rules-Lite, and All-Inclusive

     This RPG was designed with newbies in mind, but can be enjoyed by veterans of the genre, as well. Rules are written assuming you've never played another RPG before. Character creation is streamlined, with each player only needing to pick a class and one of two special abilities per class. Games typically take 2-3 hours, and secret objectives and goofy plot twists give plenty of replay value. The game is perfect for holiday gatherings with family or friends, even if they don't know the difference between a d6 and a d20.

     Hometown Holiday is inclusive of all races, faiths, disabilities, and sexual identities and orientations. The movies this game parodies are typically Christmas themed and predominantly starring straight able-bodied white people; by no means does your story have to fit these parameters. The game and how you want to experience it is effortlessly tailored as you see fit for the comfort and enjoyment of you and your friends.
