Gothic-Punk
A downloadable Skirmish Game
. . .
What is that?
GOTHIC-PUNK is a rules-light miniatures skirmish game inspired by 1990s urban fantasy RPGs where each player controls a faction of supernatural beings (or highly trained humans) seeking secret control over a modern city.
This game is a love letter to the RPGs that enchanted my youthful self who, despite longing for the deep stories and full of intrigue that these games proposed, ended up playing something like "X-Men of Darkness" and fiercely debating with friends which supernatural creature it was stronger with each new game published.
Well, this is not a direct adaptation of these games, but you can take inspiration from them and other sources to play with gothic plastic soldiers and "prove" with your strategy who is the most badass monster!
