Kickstarter Game Catalog, 1st Wave:
Lancer: Battlegroup | Massif Press
Complex, 2-6 Players
Lancer: Battlegroup is a game of tactical naval combat that takes place within the universe of Lancer, allowing players to step into the role of fleet commanders leading groups of capital ships, subline vessels, and wings of strike craft into battle.
As one of these commanders, the decisions you make will be the difference between victory and defeat, and each of those decisions will be measured by the cost of lives. Casualties are inevitable, but your actions may win the day for many more.
Battlegroup is a first-of-its-kind fleet management game specifically designed for immersive video play online. Experience a unique combat system that eliminates the need for maps while still preserving the rich tactical gameplay the Lancer universe is known for.
Complex, 3-6 Players
Travel the Orion arm with your party to spread revolution and free humanity from tyranny in your custom-built mechs.
Lancer is a high-action RPG set in a mud-and-lasers future, focused on mechs and the pilots that crew them. Using a mix of rules-light narrative play and gritty tactical combat, together with friends, you’ll fight to win a better future for humanity. With countless possible combinations of gear, chassis, and weapon, your perfect mech is out there, ready to carry you and your party to victory.
Lancer Players – we know you like the crunch! Role’s native Lancer Sheets give you everything you need to run this complex game – including linked elements for basic automation of the die roller. Use our simple map tools to run tactical combat, or activate Screen Share to integrate tools like Owlbear Rodeo.
Rules Light, 3-4 Players
Isle of Ixx is both a light OSR-style ruleset and a sandbox adventure in one, where players find themselves shipwrecked on a strange, tropical island.
Rules-light games like Isle of Ixx are perfect when your party wants to minimize prep time and jump in for an easy adventure!
Voidwalkers | Sword Queen Games
Moderate, 3-5 Players
A space opera of myth and magic, Voidwalkers uses the Powered by the Apocalypse system to tell epic tales of complex stellar heroes.
Travel throughout the galaxy and bring balance to the Void, battle against the fearsome Lightbearers, and rewrite your destiny together. Use both dice and tarot cards to play and find out!
Voidwalkers’ inclusion of tarot is perfect if you’d like a fresh mechanic for coming up with a story and RP. We’ve assembled a Voidwalkers tarot table on PlayingCards.io. Instructions can be found in the “Voidwalker Tarot” sheet in the Voidwalker quickstart room.
Moderate, 3-4 players
A game of ethereal connection in which your party is called from across space and time to navigate a strange and surreal experience.
Your party will undertake a journey to discover the thread that connects and binds them together. In the lands of Astra, they will explore dreams, manifest realities through will, and overcome the nightmares that dwell in their own hearts.
For a highly creative and collaborative experience with intuitive rules, check out Astra – an RPG akin to shared lucid dreaming. Together the Guide and party weave their story as they attempt to overcome their Dreads and move onto whatever awaits them outside the Astra.
P.S. Astra was originally developed by Role’s own Games Producer Steven Medeiros and Art Director Mike Ackerman before they joined the team!
