Grand Design
Writhing and screaming, they were born. No, not born. The Experiments were made, carved from primordial soup by the hands of the Scientist to be an extension of will, to enact the change upon the world. This is their purpose, their reason for being. Or so the Scientist says.Grand Design is a table top rpg written by Liam McCrickard and illustrated by Leon Reinstein designed for 3-6 players. It is based on M.A.GUAX's  unique Fingertips, and is a submission for the RPG LATAM Jam 2022. It is about a Scientist with grand ambitions and lack of inhibitions in how they are achieved. It is about Experiments with great power and little experience of the world around them. It is about the toxicity of a mentor or parental figure with rigid expectations for what their juniors should do or be and how said juniors react to that pressure.  Content Warnings for Abuse, Death, and Body Horror.
