Our project was chosen for the Gamefound RPG Party - a creator-supporting event organized by Gamefound along with Magpie Games, Chaosium, Loot Tavern, and DriveThruRPG.

Tales from the Tape Deck is a tabletop role-playing game that fits in a cassette tape case. Each Volume contains a new setting, character options, and rules.

TTD is designed to be a pick-up game. This means the rules are easy-to-learn and portable, which is ideal for spontaneous games. Each Volume will have its own curated playlist of original and licensed music.

Hey there, survivors… It’s your DJ for the end-times, Kat-A-Clysm, broadcasting live from the ruins of yesterday.
You’re locked into Tales from the Tape Deck: the only station still spinning hope on magnetic tape.
If this signal reached you, you’ve still got a shot. Pre-back the transmission and score early access to EP-playtest tapes and top-tier VIP content, stuff the bunker crowd won’t see ‘til it’s too late.
So don’t fade into the static. Grab your dice, cue the track, and help write the last story this world’s gonna hear.
This is Kat-A-Clysm signing off... keep your reels tight, your volume high, and your batteries fresh.

Each volume of Tales from the Tape Deck is inspired by a music playlist from a specific genre. Each playlist is linked to a QR code, allowing you to access it on major streaming platforms. The music inspires the theme, builds atmosphere, and raises tension.

After all, the playlist is a countdown timer for the game session. Each playlist is approximately 1 hour long. During gameplay, you hear the playlist twice. This will notify everyone at the table that the end is near.

Easy-to-learn rules combined with a playlist as a timer encourage players and GMs to focus on creativity and chaos
Store your adventures, characters, settings and other content within a single cassette tape deck
Each Tales from the Tape Deck volume includes setting-specific rules, character options, and music
Blend the encounters, mechanics and characters of each volume to create your own campaign
Volumes 1, 2 & 3 will be part of the crowdfunding campaign:
- The Righteous Ride of the Radicals (Mad Max meets ARC Raiders) - 80s Adrenaline Rock
- A Heinous Hunt for Humanity (Escaping a facility as new sentient models akin to Detroit Become Human) - Electronica
- Make off from Madness Motel (Wargames meets The Shining) - 70s eerie horror soundtracks
