Description

Frontier is a Tabletop battle system with a Wild West setting. Based on the likes of other Tabletop products such as Necromunda, 5th Edition Dungeons and Dragons, as well as video games such as X-Com Enemy Unknown (2012).

I wanted to make a quick and dirty rules outline for a new game system, built to be played in 20 (ish) minutes with 2 players. I started with a narrative outline, I knew I wanted to create a western so I worked from that. Developing from the classic White hats vs Black hats story into something with more defined roles and depth. Balance was the main issue with the system and required a lot of testing, different users' playstyle wasn't something I had originally accounted for, and made for some unique problems.
