Autostede: Neon Badlands Kickstarter launching this Easter
Get ready for a synthwave meets punk rock journey across an unforgiving wasteland in badass mechanical animal, modified to be a death machine.
After an initial release on itch.io and continued success at local conventions, Autostede is getting a new edition, this time with a crowdfunding campaign to fund a print run.
Autostede is a TTRPG about semi-sentient mechanical animals and their pilots, inspired by media such as Zoids, the Horizon series and Pokemon. This latest edition seeks to refine and reinforce the themes and style of the world, hearkening to Mad Max and Cowboy Bebop to deepen the connection to stories of outsiders dealing with problems that no-one else can.
The core gameplay of Autostede features a drop table style play sheet where the location that dice land reflects the psychic connection between your character and their 'stede, adjusting the success and possibly limiting the actions you can take.
The kickstarter, launching on the 18th of April, Good Friday, will also feature the PDF release of "Exquisite Autobiome," a collaborative worldbuilding game that you can use to fill the world with unique Autos, which are fully functional as playable Autostedes.
If you're in Melbourne on Easter then you can catch Autostede: Neon Badlands at Conquest, a tabletop games convention running over the whole Easter long weekend at the Coburg Town Hall.
You can follow the kickstarter here and check out the original version on itch.io
