WINGCUTTERS RPG

In place of giving me money, I ask that you donate any amount to the Trevor Project in support of the life-saving work they are doing. Please donate at this link: https://give.thetrevorproject.org/fundraiser/6717635. Any amount is greatly appreciated.

You’re goblin commandos hiding in the cargo bay of a warplane.

Its mission? To bomb your poor, Ghibli-esque goblin town to hell. 

Your job’s to bring it down first, but the big folk on this plane want to stop you (rude), so you’ve got to go around or through ‘em.

Sneak about, find a way to disable the plane, and bail out before it crashes in a flaming pile of metal and hate to save the day.

Wingcutters is an RPG for 2-4 goblins (players) and 1 Goblin Master (GM). It uses a simple 2d6 + modifiers vs difficulty number system based heavily upon the Tunnel Goons SRD by Nate Treme of Highland Paranormal Society.

This is a rather barebones version of the final layout which values readability over style. I'm down to the wire to submit for the Cassette Case Game Jam, so more updates will be made over time, along with additional planes for the goblins to take down.

Wingcutters currently includes the following:

• SHEET 1: THE GAME, an 8-page zig-zag zine with all the rules needed to play Wingcutters.
• SHEET 2: MAKING GOBLINS, 2 x (almost) half-sheet guides for players to make their goblins.
• GOBLIN FOLIOS, 4 x (almost) quarter-sheet brochures for players to write/track their goblin's info on. They also have a partial rules summary on the other side.
• BIG FOLK CARDS, 4 x cards featuring custom art donated by the much-beloved OSR artist HodagRPG. There is one card for each enemy type, and lists actions that they may take.
• GOBLIN CARDS, 4 x cards featuring custom art donated by the best artist in the goblin biz, rossydoesdrawings. There is one card for each goblin mission role, and lists their special rules.
• The J-CARD, to insert into the cassette case to help it look pretty.
  
• The CREW ROSTER and PLANE TRACK, an (almost) quarter-sheet used to track the remaining difficulty of the big folk crew and the progress of the plane on its mission to bomb the goblin town to hell.
  
• The TABLES sheet,  an (almost) quarter-sheet of random tables specific to the plane included in this initial release of Wingcutters, the B-36 PEACEBREAKER.
• PLANE MAPS, 2 x (almost) full-sheet diagrams of the B-36 PEACEBREAKER for use by both the players and GM.
• The PLANE KEY, an (almost) full-sheet key of the B-36 PEACEBREAKER for the GM's eyes only.

Printing/assembly instructions:

• The J-Card and the Goblin/Big Folk Cards should be printed in color, while all other files can be printed in black and white.
• All files should be printed at 100%, double-sided (short edge), and trimmed on the dotted lines.
• All sheets larger than standard playing card-size should be folded down to 3.5" x 2.5 " to fit within the cassette case.
• There should be room to accommodate 5 x 12mm 6-sided dice along with all included materials in a cassette case with the spokes broken off.
