RabbleBound

Hi 

I am doing my first TTB RPG where you can gather your party from randoms and be good or bad.

You cannot afford to be good to everyone.

RabbleBound is a dark medieval tactical roguelike. You're the Captain of a company nobody chose. Strangers who happened to be in the room when the work turned up, bound to one contract and to each other's debts. The road ahead is going to ask you for money you do not have. The island calls you rabble.

Be decent, or be the thing they send men after. You can take the kind door every time and pay for it in days and coin. You can travel with a half-ratkin albino that neither side wants, and see where that goes. Or you can rob the collector on his round, strip the shrine, and cut down the Hold's own men on the lord's own road. 

Fifty-four pieces of gear, and fifteen of them are one of a kind. The Cold Thing. The Ground-Glass Eyes. The Mirrored Sphere. Fen-Mother's Tooth. It's a low-magic island, so a strange object is an event and not a stat.

Eight roads out of the Hold, twenty-eight places, about an hour. Every road misses something the other roads had. Not in yet: the later acts, and the mortality chain, so a body that goes down today is scarred and not lost.

A word from me

This is my first real attempt at a game. I tried to move into gamedev seven years ago and it did not work out. The battles are what I wanted out of Battle Brothers. The world has the grime of the old Warhammer books. The road is trying for the weirdness and the choices of Caves of Qud.

The art is AI for now. It's a placeholder while I find out whether the game itself works. If it ever pays its own way, I would much rather spend that money on real artists.

Act one is finished and I need people to break it.

There's a ✉ FEEDBACK button in the corner of every screen: tell me where you stopped and why. Two sentences beat a polite silence, and if you're building something too, send it over and I'll play yours and write you notes back.
