Storygames Chicago is a TTRPG design collective that started as a group of friends who wanted more people to play games with. Now we’re on our second Kickstarter project and looking forward to the future.

Our game Vesta Mandate is on Kickstarter! We’re at $2,099 right now, our goal is to get to our $2,500 stretch goal right now!
This is our second Kickstarter project after City of Blood and Plaster!
During our game design retreat in December, Chase and I took a walk in the Wisconsin woods and talked a lot about relationships in TTRPGs. While a lot of games have Bond systems, they always seemed ancillary or weak. We wanted a game where relationships between PCs and relationships between NPCs were centered. So we made a Sci-Fi political thriller TTRPG with relationships as a design impetus.
As Vesta Mandate continues its last two weeks of funding there will be more to come on this Substack with…
