Tactical Tabletop

post the rules first or give a taste of the gameplay

Gladly.

Heroes are Inquisitors and are charged with hunting down monsters that prey on humanity. An Inquisitor fits into a Path, which represents their training and affinities, and one or more Roles which determine their universal abilities as well as the contents of their Battle Fervor deck. These roles, such as Ambusher, Tactician, and Zealot give them certain strengths and weaknesses to certain categories of monster roles. They also play off other Roles in a party. For example, the typical Tactician can create a battle plan at the start of the game, a pool of d6's that exist outside of character's dice pools which he can assign during combat, even during an opponent's turn, to help someone in a tight spot. However, this pool shrinks by 1d6 per round as the combat becomes less and less predictable.

A player's deck is a set of cards comprised of their Role cards, their Hero cards (unique to the character), as well as cards that are added from the purchase of equipment before the battle and added to their decks by the opposing player during the course of battle. A player draws three of these cards at the start of each of their hero units activation and can use his Endurance resource (his dice pool) or the team-wide resource called Favor. Any unused cards are discarded at the end of the turn, unless a character has a keyword that lets them keep one.

Heroes and elite monsters have an Endurance pool, an amount of dice they can use each round to split between offense and defense, obviously with caps. Generic monsters have a static offensive dice number and a defense number to represent a lower skill in combat. Dice pools are comprised of d6's.

In a round of combat the unit with the highest reflexes on their side acts first, then the highest reflex opponent acts, and this goes back and forth until all units have moved and acted.

That's a quick top-level overview.

Did... did you steal my idea?

I posted a Very similar idea called Crypt Raiders a while back. I never went anywhere with it, but the idea was basically this, except the initial focus was on Tucker's Kobolds.

Not that I'm complaining. I never would've gone anywhere with it. Too busy.

Not that I'm aware of, I've been working on this off and on for a few years since I was stuck in my dead-end deskjockey job. But, you know, no such thing as a new idea. Is your post in the archive?

I take it, however, that you're not inherently opposed to the idea.

Also, to further my point this was based on more of a Gothic Horror theme, and the monster player can use the classic horror sub-factions (vampires, werewolves, cultists, mad scientists, etc etc)

Found the thread though, and I can see the similarities.

Sounds kinda like literally any rpg system

So kinda like Descent, but more about battles/tactics than dungeon crawling, right?

Looks interesting
got any pdfs or other of rules?
also how big a roster?
Something small or pic related?

Oh yeah, I forgot about Descent, that's a good parallel. Yeah, that's a great way of looking at it.

I'll make something like that now to help show the roster I've got. No PDF's yet, just a bunch of doc files with my notes. I'll include the monster factions and their top-level baddies as well.

Bird Knight is adorable.

Here we go, a few of the Inquisitors, I've got 9 more, but they're less organized.

Monsters are next.
