TL;DR: I just released SKATER+, a tabletop RPG for playing as a skateboarder doing sick tricks to prove that you're a Skater Legend!
Hey there! It's been a long time since I've posted anything on here, and I'm sorry about that! I've been pretty busy with work and doing non-GameDev stuff. In fact, the only thing close to game development that I've been doing is making a tabletop role playing game system called GUTS+, which is a far cry from what I used to post about on here!
About a month ago, I saw this frankly really cool modern Tech Deck copycat setup at a mall nearby:
I shared that picture and someone said it would be the perfect setup for a skate park themed TTRPG setting, and from that moment on, I couldn't get the thought out of my head!
Fast forward to this week, where I heard about and joined the #RPGenesis 2019 game jam to make a 5000+ word tabletop role playing game just for fun. One of the options was to build a hack of an existing RPG, so I decided to jump in with a hack of GUTS+ using the skate park setting that's been rattling around in my brain. I get going, the process becomes easy because I just keep having so many ideas, and then I'm actually able to playtest it with some people from my Dungeons and Dragons group! They had fun, I had fun, and long story short, I was able to finish writing the 5000+ words in time!
The result: SKATER+!
You and your crew are skaters taking on either each other or an opposing gang of skaters to do the sickest tricks and show everyone who rules the skate park.
Do you have what it takes to be a skater legend?
The game does require someone to be game master and at least 1 player, but it's free to download, and it's best if you print at least Appendix 1 and 2 as gameplay resources!
If you like fun tabletop RPGs and you have good memories of the old Tony Hawk Pro Skater games, then this will scratch a nice itch for you!
