First draft of the first part of the adventure finally written. I did a lot of rewriting and reworking because some ideas changed halfway through, and life has not helped either. You'll see it with the Alpha release, but the title of this adventure is

eugh, had some AI account follow while I was away.

Reminder that this project does not use, will never use, and despises the use of AI in place of human creation

Hi, realized I never posted here, but I am away from social media for mental health reasons. I have been picking away at BIOMECH (and other projects) while I have been stepping back, however!

Truly, BIOMECH is in an alpha release state.

I have been fighting for my life in these programs to make BIOMECH. Looking to make creating this thing easier, it has been a thorn in my side for quite some time
jaytheusual.bsky.social The Usual @jaytheusual.bsky.social · Aug 20
I'm sick and tired of Libreoffice's PDF editor, and their word processor is wearing thin on me as well. any good alternatives? Looking for reliability and nothing Microsoft

Keeps crashing on me, plus the tools for lining up objects AND the grid for their PDF editor don't line up! Ever! Very bad!

it is 4 pages. not a great looking 4 pages, but a mostly organized 4 pages to continue forward with

trying to make character sheets is a fun until you run out of space. early thoughts are that it will be 4 pages total:
Character info, Pilot stats, BIOMECH stats, and BIOMECH weapons. either way, the goal is to make these easier to navigate and read. This is of course a rough draft for the alpha.

I went and made a one page TTRPG called SOUL CONCEPT and you can go get it right now

Fight the technofascist Regime, make art, and punch a cop in the mouth

ok so the idea has taken a firm hold of my brain. Great news though; it is reinvigorating my desire to work on BIOMECH as well! Taking a step back for a small side project is healthy, wouldn't you know it?

Not dead, promise!
BIOMECH comes first, but this idea was jamming up my brain so it had to at least be started. Thread if you are interested, but otherwise expect a BIOMECH update soonish!

I know I need to finish BIOMECH's alpha, but I have had an idea for a One Page TTRPG rattling around in my head so loudly that I needed to put SOMETHING to paper.
Anyway, The working title is "Soul Concept" and it is a game where you make street art and fight cops
‘Soul Concept’ One Page TTRPG Inspired by Jet Set Radio, Bomb Rush Cyberfunk, UNBEATABLE, and 2 Mello The city is under technofascist rule; every corner has a camera, a cop, and a hate for art and soul. You have your wheels of choice, a spraycan brimming with potential, and the bare walls of the city. Time to remind the guys in charge that people live here. You fight Cops and bring life back to the city and its people, all while the The Board try to thwart your efforts with their militarized police forces. Block by block, your goal is to liberate people from the boring tones of beige and gray, and to snap their minds out of The Haze with music so loud you can’t stop dancing.

Still working on this, just been real busy (birthday, people visiting, all that.)

Also I started re-writing the mission and story. Decided to follow something else that made a bit more sense
biomech-ttrpg.bsky.social BIOMECH @biomech-ttrpg.bsky.social · Jul 5
Halfway done with writing the alpha mission! Certainly a new challenge, writing something for someone else to tell the story.

Once that is done, it is more testing and tweaking, and then we'll have an alpha release after editing!

working a bit on some prose surrounding the idea of entering and taking control of a BIOMECH. Thought it was neat enough writing to share here, and dips the player's toes into understanding there is some mental toll to Piloting.
This is for the GM to read out

back to writing

You each enter your bodies, taking their muscles as your own. Bodies that are not the ones you started in, but are you all the same. You are it, but it is only a part of you. You are countless bodies, bodies that will do as you tell them because they are a part of You. You are the intent, the thought behind the actions taken. These bodies are simply the tool you use. You have a mission, Pilot.

I know the writing updates are not as cool as the art ones were, but while waiting to test I started actually working on the test mission and writing more than some notes only I know. This is planned to release alongside the full alpha release, and expand to a full adventure for the full release!
Chapter 1: A long, dusty road Hours ago, you set foot for the first time on this planet, Nosa. It is a barren place, mostly comprised of crags, canyons, and arid flats under a blue-green sky. Under its surface, a wealth of minerals in dire need of processing for various war efforts. You have all been contracted to assist SynthSky Armory in recovering three scientists from a mercenary group, Steel Crown. It is assumed the scientists are still alive, and that Steel Crown was paid off by a rival corporation, Luchart Aerospace, to abduct these scientists and extract company information. At the head of Steel Crown is a Dredge going by the name of Sawtooth, he is known to be an exceptionally dangerous criminal on the run from multiple corporations. You will be heading through the Redrock Crags to eventually arrive at the Steel Crown mercenary outpost. Resistance is expected in the canyon, and you have clearance to neutralize any threats as you see fit within. It is ill-advised to go over the canyon, as you will likely be bombarded by rival corporations for moving military equipment out in the open. Eventually, the canyon becomes too narrow for BIOMECH navigation, and you will proceed on foot to the outpost. Once at the outpost, the retrieval of the scientists is paramount. You will be paid additional for the removal of the Steel Crown threat as Central sees fit. Once the site is secure, you will contact Central so a transport caravan can arrive, and medically assess and extract the scientists. They will also sweep the area and assess the situation before sending payment to you. You have just finished a meeting with Regional Security Officer Valius Taver in Synthsky Central, and are walking towards the hangar bay where your BIOMECHs are waiting. You turn and walk down a wide hallway, painted pale gray and lit in a cold light. The far end opens into the hangar bay, and near that end is a door into the requisitions office.

Hi, just an update. Pretty busy with some family stuff, but hoping to get a proper test of the new version in next week.
Also beginning to properly write the mission to be released alongside the full alpha release.

Actually, after sleeping on it, making it engagement based kinda sucks

Go, look at my work! I'll be posing changelogs on this page with each new version. This is a WIP, so don't expect something super duper polished!

I got sick today and then got bored, so let me sweeten the pot.

EVERY VERSION.
EVERY MISTAKE.
ALL THE WAY BACK TO THE FIRST VERSION THAT WAS TESTED.

And the promise that every version tested will be released on this itch page, alongside the finished version years from now.

If this hits 120 reposts, I release the itch page early with a download to the most recent version. Pre-alpha release and you don't have to pay shit for it, you get a .zip with .docx files and that's the game. (:

HI! Been a minute, been real busy with life.
Great news, there has still been lots of progress despite it all! V0.5.2 was tested, and v0.5.3 is mostly complete!

I'll tell ya what is complete though...
The cover art!
Cover image for BIOMECH TTRPG A tripodal BIOMECH is midair, jumping away from and firing at a bipedal BIOMECH wielding a Ripblade. the Bipedal BIOMECH is bleeding from multiple gunshot wounds. The duo are fighting in an industrial area, with steam towers looming in the background

I also had a tester note how there wasn't a place to learn about species in the game, so I wrote quick blurbs for everyone that can be found in one place. These aren't final, but this is what things are like for now.

Species Human Humans are not native to SR-A-316, but came to the galaxy looking for opportunity after the contact wars. There are not as many humans as there are A’kesh and Xern, who are native to the galaxy. Blood: 12, Strain: 12 A’kesh A’kesh are four legged creatures with 3 arms. They are larger than most humans, and have snouts filled with teeth. Their body sits on top of their four legs, which are long and end in pointed hooves. Two of their three arms sit on either side of their torso, with the third coming from their chest. A bygone caste system used to rely on how close your third arm was to the center of your chest, with arms at the center being desirable. Blood: 14, Strain: 12 Xern Xern are large isopods, a little smaller than the average human. Humans from earth often compared them to “Roly-Polys” or “Pillbugs” Their plating comes in a variety of yellows, oranges, and browns, with some rare exceptions. Xern do not speak, but communicate telepathically. Modern comms equipment is able to transmit these telepathic messages, but intercepting creature to creature communications is much harder, as Xern are able to select the people who can hear them. Blood: 10, Strain: 14 The Dredge The Dredge are the newest species in the galaxy, and only came into existence after the war started. Very rarely, a Pilot who dies in a BIOMECH is resuscitated by the failing BIOMECH, however, this has some consequences. The Pilot is usually physically altered in many ways, their flesh hangs off their bones differently, they may gain or lose limbs, and their memories range from mostly intact to nonexistent. The ones who do not go mad from the change make great Pilots, as they are part BIOMECH. Research has been done on The Dredge, with it only bringing more questions than answers. Blood: 13, Strain: 11

...have you guys seen character sheets yet? Well, they're function over form, to say the least. They'll shape up as I develop the game, and I plan to work with someone to make them look far better than I could on my own.

Still tweaking the newest version!

A character sheet in BIOMECH. it is comprised of multiple tables in a word document. Different attributes are color coded, and the central white column is the base value of each skill. This is in Alpha, and does not represent the final product

v0.5.2 is nearly ready to test!
Improvised Weapons, Hardpoints for modifications, grenade rules, weapon tweaks, new statuses and attributes, and more!

Got some WIPs for the cover art as well, you get to see them when it's done though. It's mainly polish for the alpha release from here on out
