A downloadable Tabletop RPG

THE CRUCIBLE, a city where humanity and inhumanity alike toils in its grimy, damned streets, watched over by a legion of merciless ‘angels’. With no other options left, you sold your souls to a fiendish patron - break this city before your master comes to claim their due.

DEMON STEEL is a lo-fi, sci-fi, cyberDEMONpunk RPG based on the 24XX system by Jason Tocci. 

  • Take on the role of diabolic hackers, fallen cybernetic angels, silver-tongued tempters and demonic mercs, in a fight against the city's self-styled heavenly order.
  • Grow the size and power of your infernal covenant and upgrade your base of operations.
  • Employ 20 devastating boons granted to you by your fiendish patron - if you can satisfy their desires.
  • Includes rolling tables for jobs, NPCs, locations around the city of the Crucible, extra-special desires of your patron, and powerful relics both sacred and profane.

THEME SONG: "Inception" by The Unguided.

I really enjoyed reading the devlog and having the two versions to look at side by side! It is definitely a v2.0, an upgrade to even more evocative writing -- you've also shown me that sometimes shortening a d20 table to d6 (just the greatest hits) can actually make a table feel more robust!

Hehe, thank you!

Yeah, some of the 1.0 tables were rather muddy as I was both less confident in my own writing and also only having one half-line per entry was an awkward and not especially productive constraint! But shorter tables that have slightly longer entries made for a much better end result.
