Frogmen

Earth is in the throes of a century-long war.

The United Amphibian Military Command is rapidly losing ground to its mutant enemy: the vile S. Corps. Dr Scorpius, nefarious and cruel, has been playing god; gene-splicing and augmenting Skorps to make them more vicious than ever.

Old UAMC tactics are failing, and only one choice remains for Colonel Spadefoot. It’s time to deploy the top-secret ‘Project Pond Hopper’.

They may be young, but they’re the only fighting force in the world with the skills to drive the Skorps back. Known as the Frogmen, these tactical espionage amphibians are trained to become the ultimate special forces operators from the moment they hatch.

You are one of these elite soldiers.

Frogmen is a co-operative RPG-lite skirmish game for a GM and 2+ players. Take the fight to the Skorps in easy-to-set-up, quick-to-play operations that the whole table builds together. Choose your operator’s unique amphibian abilities and build a personalised weapon using a list of 14 combat-ready attachments.

The game runs on a simple d12 ruleset with no ranges, distances, or movement speeds. The Luck mechanic encourages players and the GM modify operations on the fly; allowing you to create high-octane action set pieces pulled straight from the turtle-themed cartoons of your youth.

Frogmen is a game best played on battlemaps. We’ve designed two sample maps for you to download – or you can draw your own as a group following the quick-start instructions.
