June 22nd is Free RPG day! In celebration, we’re offering Catalyst for free, today only. This is the physical book-and-cards version of the game. All you need to pay is shipping.
Catalyst is what started it all for Cherry Picked Games. In retrospect, a long-form RPG with its own battle system, character systems, and setting was a tall order. It took years to design and playtest, and a lot of learning, but publishing Catalyst transformed us into a professional game studio. The unique card system is the prototype for all our games’ special player interactions. The juxtaposition of a serious world and absurd characters is the foundation for our style of in-game humor. Even after experiencing the apocalypse for nearly a decade, we still love rolling dice against demons.
If you’ve already purchased Catalyst, thank you for helping us grow and prosper to keep sharing new games with the world. If you haven’t tried it, there really isn’t a better time to do so.
