Scrap & Spark: A Prodigy's Tale - A Solo Scrapper-Punk RPG

Can you build a better future out of the broken pieces of the past?

About the Game

Scrap & Spark: A Prodigy's Tale is a thrilling solo role-playing game where you embody a self-taught genius living in the forgotten scrapheaps beneath a glittering, oppressive metropolis. Armed with your ingenuity and a knack for tinkering, your goal is to engineer a magnificent invention – your Magnum Opus – that will shake the very foundations of the status quo and prove your worth to a world that has discarded you.

Genre & Feel

Dive into a rich, Post-Apocalyptic Scrapper-Punk world. Imagine the grimy, ingenious spirit of Zaun from Arcane, the desolate yet hopeful landscapes of Fallout, or the stark societal divides of Elysium. This is a story of rebellion, hope, and relentless invention, set against a backdrop of stark inequality.

Gameplay Focus

Each Cycle brings new challenges and opportunities as you progress towards your grand project:

  • Scavenging: Delve into the vast junkyards for essential basic Scrap and valuable Parts.
  • Heists: Undertake daring infiltrations into dangerous territories to acquire rare Parts and crucial Knowledge (blueprints, schematics).
  • Inventing & Crafting: Use your collected resources to build unique gadgets, improve your gear, and, most importantly, assemble your colossal Magnum Opus!
  • Community: Navigate the needs and threats facing your fellow junkyard dwellers, building Influence and fighting for your people.
  • Dynamic Clocks: Global timers like the "Elite Purge Clock" and "Stormfront Clock" keep the world alive and constantly introduce new pressures and events.
  • Oracle & Challenges: Simple 6-sided dice rolls guide your narrative, with clear outcomes for success, partial success, and failure.

Features

  • Deep Character Creation: Define your prodigy's Specialty (Mechanist, Electrician, Chemist, Roboticist), Core Drive, and starting Gear.
  • Progressive Narrative: The game adapts to your choices, with encounters and complications keeping your story fresh.
  • Invention Journal: Design and log your own minor inventions, each with unique functions and narrative-rich flaws.
  • Legacy Mode: After completing your Magnum Opus, continue your story with higher stakes and a lingering legend.
  • Prompt-Driven Storytelling: Guidance questions help you flesh out scenes and outcomes, making every playthrough unique.
