Infodump: I don't think I've told Artfol this because I haven't really worked on it since before I got here, but Masterkey also has a companion TTRPG (tabletop role-playing-game) in development!
It is a hybrid tactical strategy trading card game. I tend to summarize it as "analog Fire Emblem combat + DnD-style chance + Pokemon status and advantange mechanics. It has a bit of high school math in it, but it can be done easily with a scientific calculator. I hope it isn't a huge turnoff bc it's the shortest way I have found to calculate damage such that it scales properly.
The game is built for two players but can accommodate up to four with a large enough board. Each player has a team of seven characters that fight to defeat all members of the other team(s). Characters are represented by cards the player keeps in their hand and corresponding tokens; the cards explain how the character works, the tokens will move on the board. There are other types of cards that assist characters, work as traps, consumable items, etc. There may need to be a non-combatant player who acts as a referee, and they do the calculations; still working that out.
If anyone wants to ask questions or talk about it, please do! It helps me develop things to know other people's thoughts!Feb 18, 2022
