Puppet Strings Ink

Puppet Strings Ink prioritizes the immersive power of roleplay and puts players at the forefront of every narrative. Our games are meticulously designed to ensure that each moment unfolds as a unique journey, intimately connected to the characters and their evolving stories.

Embedded in our design philosophy is a dedication to player agency and narrative richness. Creating  stories with stakes that feel personal, and require a tactical mind even outside of combat. While embracing a player-first approach, we recognize the thrill of a hard-earned critical hit against a loathed enemy. Our games strike a harmonious balance between immersive roleplaying and the exhilaration of strategic combat, delivering a comprehensive and captivating experience.

Early Access:

•  Mutts In The Sky: Set amidst the chaos of aerial warfare, players assume the roles of soldiers on the front lines, experiencing a narrative that challenges traditional concepts of war and government.

In Progress:

• Gentleman's War Table(5e Demo & Independent System): A territory control system that puts it's players at the head of a system of hierarchy. Allowing the players to make grand actions from the war room and individual moves that can change the trajectory of a whole government. 
• Puppet Strings SRD: A D20-Based System that operates without levels or classes, and instead takes great inspiration from skill tree based video games. While designed to feel similar to games like D&D 5e, it will include a vastly different combat system, many new roleplay based mechanics, and more genre-agnostic. 

Possible Future Projects:

• Burning Acropolis: Monster Hunter game with a focus on survival, tracking, and fluid combat, low magic, low tech, focusing on the idea of mutation of mythology and religion
• After Hours: A supernatural horror system prioritizes stealth and investigation inspired by the night call video game, low magic, Gotham-like setting, and divining/mediums

As an extremely small design team, feedback and help of any kind is always welcome should you want to extend it!
