You can now follow the Top Line Hockey campaign on Kickstarter!
Top Line Hockey now has a Discord! Where I am streaming developement of Top Line Hockey every Thursday night while we continue to push towards the kickstarters. Right now its a lot of getting legal ducks in a row as we move closer to fully unveiling the project.
Continued work on Top Line Hockey! Now we are on to balancing some of the book teams and really starting to learn formatting!
Work continues on Top Line Hockey, as we finish up the rules we are starting to work on the KS Campaign and figure out final formating on the book.
New year and more action!
First off, Top Line Hockey is going to be kickstarted at the end of the NHL season! We are right now finishing up the rules, doing proof reads, and getting promotional material ready for Kickstarter. We also plan of having some goodies in there as well.
Speaking of goodies, I decided to put out there a new game out! The Show Must Go On! is a 2 page story telling RPG taking place in a vaudeville theater. Will your death defying act save the local theater? Or will your go out as any good performer does, ON STAGE!
The Show was written in about 2 hours after a trip to the "Haunted" theatre at King's Island in southern Ohio. It is certainly more of a "people sit in a circle making up a story" game than our usual strategy numbers, but it is good fun and very breezy. If you have a theater friend, hook them up to this and watch them fly!
Pick it up in the Downloads Section. It will also be on Drive Thru RPG by the end of January I expect.
Ope! We missed a month (I'm trying not to do that so much). Anyway, after some fun runs of FANG we are back to Top Line Hockey, we are making a couple of changes to simplify and improve the work. We are hoping to pick up a few more play tests and I'm also starting to put together a kick starter sense, lets be real only a few people read these updates.
Hockey is almost back, and I'm enjoying it. We are continuing playtests of Top Line Hockey and messing around with extra content. I also have the latest edition of FANG available to 2023! Almost a whole month ahead of when I usually do!
The new edition mostly has fixes of typos and findings from last years games. There is also a whole new scenario, Brain in a Can! which cuts right to the chase of a group of aliens trying to track down there mayor of a small town. Players have resources to use and a spy to feed the aliens info from the humans inner circle. I hope you enjoy it!
We are continuing work on Top Line Hockey! We've added a few stanley cup rosters to try out with the preview. Hopefully the final version will be out by the end of the year.
We are back!
The team has been hard at work on a new sport game Top Line Hockey! You can find a preview in the downloadables page. Top Line Hockey is a pencil and dice game that captures the fast pace back and forth of hockey. I'm pretty proud of it and we should have some more information soon!
Happy Halloween! We've been busy playtesting a new version of Fear Amongst Neighbors Game - FANG! Learning from previous versions, we've added new roles and minor tweaks to add more room for dynamic changes, treachery, and drama.
Also included in the PDF is a new game for small groups - Teen Beach Party of Terror! A fun, slightly raunchy slasher game where the players try to outwit the kills while also finding time to get alone with other players.
Next year, we plan on releasing a proper book with these games and more social deduction games designed for the discord age.
Ladies and gentlemen - START. YOUR. REACTORS!
Atomic Hotrod Hovercrafts is now available on Drive Thru RPG. Thank you to the whole team for helping create this wonderful game.
As of right now, we are looking at a handful of different projects and trying to decide what to work on next, until then, enjoy!
Sorry for missing February - but we are happy to announce signups for the open Atomic Hotrod Hovercrafts playtest! We are looking for folks to play, GM, and comment on the design before we continue development! Please fill out the above form to let us know.
The playtest will likely be 5-6 sessions, with each session being 2 hours long, running between March and June. (Remember! In Atomic Hotrod Hovercrafts, you don't need to attend every session!).
My ride from outer space
In Atomic Hotrod Hovercrafts, players will have the choice of over a dozen unique rides, each will excel in different categories. The Lunar Energy Glenn's robust reactor can handle the most stressful situations, while the Opi 235 always leave a little bit of room for a boost at the end of the race. The Spinerlla Super-Max strips away all excess to leave a lean racing machine, while The Pegasus from Martian Transports gives the pilot an extra boost right off the racing line.
After buying your hovercraft, you'll customize it! Players start with a deck of 54 playing cards that they trim down to 32, trying to balance stress management with high speed attacking cards, as well as balancing skill on straightaways with cornering.
ARHRHC is currently in its beta testing phase, to be released in mid 2022!
Hot Roddin'
Atomic Hotrod Hovercrafts is an upcoming TTRPG from the Great Lakes Game Library. AHRHC is built as a specialized loop to handle large groups of players with challenging schedules.
Pilots customize their hovercrafts, balancing speed with control, corner steering vs straight line defense.
Pilots interact with each other and fans to earn bonuses and commit acts of sabotage.
The Green Flag drops, and the race begins!
Pilots earn data, cash, and points to prep for the next race!
We hope to have more information soon as well as the first draft of rules for pilots around the solar system to take to the wheels and start their reactors!
Hotrods and Footballs
We currently have 2 ongoing projects right now that we hope to be playtesting and releasing soon. First is Atomic Hotrod Hovercrafts - a racing RPG that pits you and the other players head to head as you design, race, and sabotage nuclear powered hovercrafts around Earth, the Moon and Mars.
We are also working on bringing back an older project All American Gridiron Heroes. A game about management and strategy in American Football. Set your lineup, call plays, and pray to the football gods for favor. We look forward to having PDFs of these available in the next year!
FANG is a social deduction game for 14-21 people that plays in 7 nights.
New print and play! Move your moose is a simple little push your luck game I came up with while thinking about the Scandinavian folk game "Hammerschlagen". It only requires a piece of paper for scoring, 3 six sided dice, and a few tokens to play and will leave you and 4 other friends laughing at your own hubris for 30 minutes!
I hope you all enjoy and to have an published version out soon!
In solidarity with our friends in Minneapolis - profits for the remainder of 2020 will be donated to the Lake Street Council to help businesses in Minneapolis affected by the riots.

We're back!
We are fixing up the website again and looking to add some new games to it soon! Pardon our dust as we change things around!
