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?"
