Edit: Wow, thank you everybody. I will send links tomorrow (Friday).
Last week I asked how to find playtesters, and you gave me a lot of good ideas. A couple of people are already lined up for testing. Thank you for that. So here it is.
Yes, Master is a small 2-page solo roll and write. You dig a trail through a cemetery over 5 nights and snatch bodies for your master. You need two dice, a pen and about 15 to 20 minutes.
I am looking for a few more people to play it once or twice and answer 5 short questions. If you want to try, just comment and I will send you the link. The plan is to release it for free on Halloween.

It was close but Wren was able to blast her way out of Purgatory. Only 1 HP remaining at the end! Had to share the second picture because I haven't colored Wren's Infernal side yet.

PnP Game Suggestions Are there any, possibly low-footprint print and play network-building / industrialization games in the vein of Brass, Nucleum, Power Grid and other similar games? - With solo mode

5 Upvotes

I love Nucleum and this type of euro in general. I'm looking through PnP games and cannot really find anything in the genre of either "networking industrial euros" or 18xx games.

Something with solo and if possible, preferably low-footprint (eg. game board is one A4 sheet) in these genres would be really cool to play after work with a coffee.

Looked through PostMark Games, PostCard Games since they were the best possibility for games like this but they don't have anything like it sadly.

I'm even thinking about maybe designing one myself if I cannot find any.

Seeking Playtesters Demo and Publishing Release...It's finally READY!!!! - Journal Entry 11

I have finished the demo and a testing system and published on itch io, RPGTrader, DriveThruRPG, Wargame Vault, and Buy Me a Coffee pages!

It feels so good to have it ready. 5 Cities each with its own fun mission ideas.

The cover was such a pain to decide on. After asking Reddit threads for opinions, I decided to go with a very simple look. And it came out with the vibe I wanted.

Now, this is still a work in progress, but I am at a point I can share it. It will have minor changes and updates as time goes. For instance, I will add the link to the Google My Maps for the whole thing. And I will update the page of the map as more and more cities are added.

I am extremely proud I completed this and did not use AI in the art. Which I believe would have made this go faster. Much faster. But I want this to be something I created on my own. The art could definitely be better, but it is good enough for my look at it and say I am proud of it.

If you are interested in trying it out and want to give me some feedback, you can find it on the platforms listed above. Just look for the Smash List. (Yep I am going to keep the title).

Please note my wife did find some errors which will be corrected in the next update. But if you find some please do not hesitate to let me know.

This is the first time I have done anything like this and I know there are some things I missed.

Next Phase and Expansion Plans

Next phase is something I am working on right now and fingers crossed hope I can get all of them done before the end of the year.

I am adding more missions to each city already on the campaign. And most importantly I am adding more cities in the campaign to choose from.

I just finished drafting the ideas for the rest of Fort Worth and it came to 8 missions in total. I need to get the playtesting and art done on these. And just so everyone knows I use a mix of Forgotten West, Zombicide, and Tombstone for my testing.

The goal is to add 6 new cities, and about 100 more missions to choose from.  

Also I wanted to get the interactive map on Google My Maps done before the end of the month.

For the future releases, I am planning on grouping them by states. So you get the state book and use that essentially as an add-on.

I hope you all enjoy using the system as much as I do!

Thank you again!!

P.S. I didn't add links as I am not sure it is allowed. If you can't find it feel free to DM and I will send it your way. It is a pdf.

Not sure how far I'll go with this. Already did all of the hero ability cards and this is 3 of the 4 heroes done. Next I move on to the boss cards. Then maybe some minions.

Seeking Playtesters Looking to connect with other TCG designers

Looking for other designers to connect with. Ideas, reviews, eventually maybe trade prototypes for play testing. I'll have a PnP version (minus main art) ready in the near future. Would love to trade PnP versions of your TCG.

My game:

Relicon is a tactical sci-fi card game set in a fractured future where rival factions battle for power among the ruins of humanity's lost civilization. It combines deckbuilding, resource management, and a two-line battlefield combat system.

2 factions developed - 9 more planned, not including smaller factions. Probably 20 or so expansions mapped out already, including a meta game to go along with it.

If you like MTG, WH40K, Star Trek CCG, Battletech, or Starcraft - you'll probably like this game. I'm open to any genre or style TCG game.

Look forward to hearing from you, feel free to message me.

This may be a long shot, but are there any board games like Desert Island Escape, or maybe a print and play version?
