Less Space, More Games!
Squid Ink Games was formed by Cannon, MJ and Kris with a focus on creating games that approach the design of TTRPGs and Tabletop roleplaying games from a slightly different angle. We make games that are self-contained in a single book, made for solo games, ones you cut up or impale to play, print and play games, new systems, and new ways of looking at old systems.
Megatropolis 5e
Megatropolis 5e is our first BIG book. Based on the campaign Cannon has been running for over three years, this hardcore sci-fi hack of D&D 5E has you playing delvers in a massive super-city-planet, crawling through lost civilizations and buried cities, fighting mutants, morlocks, and mudbugs on the hunt for long lost tech and valuable treasure. I've died in Megatropolis four different times and it's been excellent fun each time. This will be our first project with an eye toward fancy-pants offset sewn printing hardcovers and classic TTRPG extras.
COMING SOON
Monster-Laden Self-Storage Shenanigans!
Magnificently Multiversal Monster-Laden Self Storage Shenanigans is a tongue-in-cheek game inspired by a conversation Kris had with his buddy about how storage units (And storage unit auctions) are sort of just tombs for the deadbeat kings of this generation. And... well... we made a wacky dungeon crawl game out of that where you are bidding and delving into units from across the multiverse in an attempt to find your fortune within!
COMING SOON
Decay
DECAY is our next boring system book, a dark delve into madness, eldritch horrors, ghosts, and holes.
COMING SOON
Creature Features!
A Squid Ink Game Book version of Deeply Dapper’s first tabletop game, where you play mad scientists creating monsters and aliens part by part, stealing pieces from your opponents and ultimately summoning the lightning and bringing your creation to life! The book includes the rules for play and over 100 cut-and-play cards.
Pressure Point
In our first boring system game, you play a mechanic in the depths of a lunar sea, trying to survive an invader. In boring system games, you physically bore holes into the paper, affecting your choices, paths forward, and, ultimately, your survival!
Station Xeno
A TTRPG module inspired by Escape Sequence, this made-for-solo adventure is available for both the DEATH IN SPACE and MOTHERSHIP 1E TTRPGs.
Escape Sequence: Xeno
An alien-inspired game book that finds your intrepid scientist attempting to survive a space station randomly generated by a deck of cards as a vicious alien stalks you. The book includes everything you need to cut-and-play or you can play using a standard deck of cards.
Those Wretched Kids!
A Wretched & Alone solo game about being the hapless but egotistic villain from a Scooby Doo cartoon. Can be played with a deck of cards and a Jenga block tower.
