It's called WATCHKEEPER, in it you play as part of the human resistance fighting an alien invasion of Earth. It's a really gritty, OSR-style tabletop game which has been a huge labour of love from myself and the team.

Check out this OSR-inspired D100 roleplaying game, with unique alien mutation mechanics, a detailed weapons system, and strong survival horror vibes! Built with an enormous team of 6+ indie artists, all supporting the TTRPG community.

In a world where a devastating alien invasion of Earth has all but destroyed human civilisation, players must plot and execute an underground war against human collaborators, and the mysterious alien overlords known as the Concordat.

Recommendations for DMing combat better in TTRPGs?

Hi all, I was recently having a conversation with one of my players who said they'd like my campaigns to involve a little more balancing in combat, more developed combat / fighting mechanics (especially against bosses), and in general a more fun way of doing combat. I use a range of systems for my own personal campaigns, so what are some general tips to improve my combat sessions, and making them fun for a player?

Reviewers Wanted - Alien Invasion / Survival Horror TTRPG

Hey all,

My name is Fin, I'm an indie designer that is in the finishing stages of designing / releasing a tabletop game called 'WATCHKEEPER'. In the game, you play as an insurgent surviving an alien invasion of Earth.

I'm hoping to release the game in a few months, but I would find it really valuable to get some feedback on the Quick Start Rules / Scenario that I've written.

I'm experimenting with a few different game mechanics that I would love to hear people's thoughts on. Including:

  • High Lethality Combat: To support the 'insurgent vs aliens' vibe, your character is quite squishy.
  • Fatigue / Survival Mechanics: If you don't eat, sleep, or live under healthy conditions, your character gains Fatigue. If they gain too much Fatigue, they start to suffer major penalties.
  • Alien Mutations: If your character has prolonged impact with alien biology / technology, they gain 'Xenosis', which increases the chances of their body / mind mutating. This is a particular challenge because your character can adopt alien Genomes (DNA strands) to make themselves more powerful.
  • Morale: A Morale system where your character can develop psychological disorders if they suffer defeats, or their Morale weakens

My main concern is that the game's 'crunch' might turn people away. What do you think?
