Active Ongoing Projects and How to Support Them

Attention Span Games has a number of projects in the works and this is how you can support them:

Waking of the Gods: Is a dark low fantasy book series written by the owner of Attention Span Games, Will Carson. And is his personal writing project. This series takes place on an alternate earth  where gods, vampires, mages and all sorts of mythical things exist in secret. There is a war between the god hunters and a secret organization tasked with protecting the gods as they slumber. It is very character driven. All chapters of the novels are written in first person past tense perspective, and the novels have a chapter structure of a shifting narrator. Narration of odd chapters is done by the main character of the book, and the even chapters by the characters they primarily interacted with in the chapter before or after. Book 1 follows Dathe, a delightful boy just trying to do as much good as he can while searching the City for his true calling.
Book 1: Visions Available for purchase now.

Big Eyes Small Brains Kickstarter Complete and Funded

Big Eyes Small Brains Kickstarter Complete and Funded

Big Eyes, Small Brains is the third book in our 4″x6″ Pocket RPG line. We take the Parody Hammer to the anime world with this bitingly satirical take on the genre’s countless tropes and icons. Its over-the-top take on everything, from mecha to those slice-of-life shows that seem to be everywhere nowadays, is sure to bring smiles to players new and old.

Big Eyes, Small Brains ended up with a higher retail price than the other PRPGs, as this extra-big edition is more than twice as thick as previous Pocket RPGs Laser Metal and DnDizzle.

Replicants!

Replicants!

Replicants! is a Scifi themed resource gathering game for most ages. Each round you deal out a new resource grid, then players take turns placing their drones on the grid to collect the corresponding resources and then use them to level up their Replicants in order to gain victory points, abilities and of course, more Replicants. It is a relatively fast paced game that is half turn based and half simultaneous play that accommodates 2-6 player and takes 45 minutes to an hour to play.
