This is such a phenomenal-looking game both visually and mechanically. Adam killed it with setting the tone and simple mechanics to facilitate a tone at the table I often crave. Pair that with DNGN CLB's killer design work... Can't wait to try this out soon.

I just launched my first-ever TTRPG and want you to try it out today! The whole book is pay-what-you-want and was initially funded on Kickstarter during Zinequest 2024.
Battle School: A Team-Based TTRPG is a game for 3-5 players and 1 Game Master. Players will create their character, a cadet between the ages of 8-13, who has been shipped off to military school in space.
The game's design philosophy is rooted in collaboration and teamwork, with a narrative focus on self-discovery and coming-of-age. The game puts the difficulty in the hands of the players, based on the scenario their team is up against, and requires them to think as a team to overcome their obstacles. Combat is no longer about what you're doing on your turn but asks, "What can I do to help my team overcome this obstacle?"
What You Get
- 90 pages of rules
- 5 Cadet Types to choose from
- 5 different Armies for your team to fight for
- Tons of Advancements to grow your Cadet's abilities
- A framework for running full campaigns in the semester-long tournament
- A form-fillable PDF of the Trifold Character sheet
I cannot wait to hear what trouble you get up to in Frontier Space.
Wow... that was phenomenal. I'm so impressed with the different ways of attacking. I will say other than "attack" I wasn't super clear on how to use other abilities but didn't end up needing them. (that being said I didn't' complete the list)
Critical feedback in no particular order:
- The walking sound was a tad annoying when I was rechecking different screens and moving quickly
- When I got to the end of the game... I was kinda miffed that I was pushed back to the start screen rather than being able to keep looking for the things I missed. Overall the end was a bit disappointing, but hey... that means I wanted to keep playing so its good!
