Thank you for showing interest in Niche!  Inspired by games such as FateCortex,  Forged In The Dark, and Apocalypse World, we've built Niche as a tabletop roleplaying game to allow narrative-focused, screen-worthy action at your gaming table! While playing Niche, you'll be working with fellow Cast members and the Executive Producer to tell tales worthwhile of the big (and little) screens.  

All you need to play Niche is a handful of d6, some friends, notecards, and imagination. Choose your way of getting things done, gain bonuses based on your descriptors, roll the dice and see how things turn out!

In short, Niche will allow you to run your game to fulfill your own niche that you couldn't fill before!

This current iteration of Niche is focused on being a lightweight SRD without art assets, story fluff, or related text. Quality improvements will be made as art assets are acquired and as the game evolves after being in the wild! 

And for those who like to know what you're getting:

  • 88 page SRD
  • Inspired by, not Powered by the Apocalypse
  • Multiple d6+mods vs result table to determine successes
  • Trope-based character creation and play
  • Class-less, level-less character creation and progression
  • Flexible rules to cover anything from anime to sci-fi to investigation procedurals
  • Narrative focus to handle things at Speed of Story, but flexible mechanics to support the narrative
  • A core mechanic that is powering upcoming titles, like Prisma Paladins, the first in our Henshin Heroes series!

I haven't finished reading yet, but so far this game looks like a great improvisational party game.

Thanks! We built the mechanics to let the narration be the focus and have just enough rules crunch to be interesting. Glad you're enjoying it so far, and keep an eye out for the updates coming soon!
