Description

When the visitors first came, they said they were coming in peace. When the first disappearances were reported, we didn’t want to believe it. We were too blinded by their technology, their superior intellect, everything they could offer us.

When the inevitable attack came, it was quick, brutal and devastatingly effective. They knew all our weaknesses by then. All our defences were wiped out in seconds.
In the days that followed, in the shadows of the flames, we came together. We got organized, and now we are bringing the fight to them.

T-DEF is a GMless game that comes in two 8-page mini zines: the Tactical Handbook that contains the rules for character creation and taking actions; and the Operations Manual, that contains everything you need to create missions for your troopers.

The game is a homage to XCOM by way of Dark Fort and Mörk Borg.

The game comes in both screen readable PDF:s and one-page printable files that you can cut and fold to have physical booklets. Put this in your pocket, wallet or purse with a couple of dice and a pen, and you're always ready to go on a bug-hunt! Play alone or with friends, in between slots at cons, on the bus, or over beers at the pub (you know, after the pandemic is over).
