Transgender Deathmatch Legend II is live now!
You have until November 28th to back the campaign!
I've just launched a BackerKit campaign for my new game Transgender Deathmatch Legend II. It's running from now until the 28th of November and I need your support to make it a smashing success.
Transgender Deathmatch Legend II is a hexcrawling beat-em-up designed for two players, using a deck of playing cards. Play out brutal street fights resolved via a trick-taking game with individuals tricks zooming in on the beat-by-beat of violence (you can read the fighting rules in full over on ratwave.uk)
The sequel to the acclaimed original game will feature six new scenarios and hexmaps, revised rules, new fighting styles, alternative modes of play, and a series of personal essays. This will be laid out in an A4 landscape book with horizontal wiro-binding, full of grungy and stylish photography of trans fighters. Available as both a core book or a deluxe box set.
In making this I've drawn on my experience as a former wrestler to create a game that is bursting with heart, dripping with venom and completely one of a kind. If you're a fan of anything I've made before I think you'll love this game that could have only come from me.
The initial goal (covering production costs and my pay) is set for £2500, with stretch goals expanding building out an exciting supplemental roster of playable characters from guest writers including Jay Dragon, Jeff Stormer, Jess from Online and many more with art by the brilliant Hodag RPG.
Your support would mean the world. The first 48 hours of a campaign are massively important to momentum. As well as backing the project there are two other ways you can help out:
Please share on social media! Look Twitter’s a shambling zombie and tbh I never had a huge audience there so people sharing the game if they’re excited about it always make a huge difference. Do it anywhere! Bluesky! Tumblr! Insta! Are you on Threads? Is anyone on Threads?
Tell people! Word of mouth makes a huge impact. Share in your discords, with your gaming groups, call a friend you haven’t spoken to in a while and say you got back in touch because they needed to know about Transgender Deathmatch Legend II!
