One of the major themes of these games is THEME which I feel I've been lacking on recently. I want to go 120% in making these games feel thematic, both mechanically and "Pitch" wise.
The top three games will make it on the list, tried to get a decent distribution of everything. If there are any questions feel free to ask.
Top of the Food Chain - Solo Caveman Wargame, pitting the player and their tribe against the ruthless onslaught of hunting for food against the most dangerous animals. I became obsessed with understanding and reading about Solo Wargames.
Trenchfoot - An RNGless Wargame about fighting in the Great War. Your men are your resource, use them well General. Trying to hit that unique hybrid location of one of those Hex-n-Chit games as well as a strict wargame. That and WW1 is a bizarre period to set a wargame in that isn't actually that touched on.
Sidewinder - An Ace Combat inspired RPG about Mercenary Air Pilots and their daring exploits (and explosive ends). Oddly enough there isn't actually that many "Jet Fighter" RPGs, most tend to be focused on WW2 or narrative. I want a nice thing in the middle. I also get to have a stroke over Z-Levels.
Fear & Hunger: Solus in Somnio (REDUX) - Fear & Hunger: Forgotten Chronicles was based off of the hit indie game about getting mauled to death by wolves. I adore the game and wrote it as "Notepad's OSR." I want to go back and fine tune it a bit, rooting out the little issues and perhaps adding a little to it. More dungeon mechanics!
Pojedynek Kobiet: Krew na Sukience (REDUX) - Pojedynek Kobiet, the Women's Duel, is a fascinating look into refining down a single concept to a fine tip. This redux, without the threat of a Game Jam looming, would be me going in and refining it further.
The Nation - Being honest, this is a thought experiment, as I've seen "how to run a game where my players are nations or a nation" quite a few times. I remember playing some similar "games" back in College, I'm curious if I can bring it out of the classroom onto the table.
"Midnight Anima" - Dark Souls is a uniquely crafted experience for a video game, however, you cannot bring a video game to the table. So instead of bashing it with a rock and making unga-bunga noises, Midnight Anima is going to attempt to be a "Miyazaki of the Table" more than anything. Hell, I'll probably have a good reason to gut more JTRPG's for use.
