Project: CYRO/[Protocol] Print & Play

This is my first Kickstarter, and I’m stepping into it with equal parts excitement and terror — but in the best possible way.

Welcome to Occult Warfare...

You are an Occult Specialist.

You and your squad are about to embark on a sanctioned mission. Armed with your training, your abilities, and the tools issued by the Order, you will descend into hostile zones where horrors beyond human comprehension lurk in the dark.

Destroy the source, seal the rift, purge corruption, or eliminate the primary threat. Complete the mission, extract safely, and return victorious.

1. Choose Your Occult Specialisation / Class

Blood Ronin A wielder of forbidden blood‑magic. The Ronin drains strength from their enemies and uses their own lifeforce to heal allies. Their soul‑bound katana cuts flesh and spirit alike.

Magick Knight A frontline tank and guardian. The Knight shields allies and unleashes terrifying laser‑beams from their enchanted helm, blasting foes straight back to the depths of hell.

Mystic Trooper A master tactician trained in assault weaponry. The Trooper deploys unique blinding grenades and channels the roots of the earth itself to stun and disrupt enemies.

2. Roll OUT!

Roll a single die into the center of the play area. Each player uses their own roll results for the round.

3. Advance through the area.

You move along the connected lines between squares, each one holding its own encounter — either loot or a threat.

4. Interact or Engage in Combat

Some squares are empty, others hide loot. Roll the die to discover what you’ve found. If you trigger an encounter, both you and the enemy roll — the highest result wins.

If you fall in battle, you can still fight on — but at a cost. Suffer a permanent loss of 1 max health, lose money, or downgrade one of your equipment. There’s always another chance… but it always comes with a cost.

5. Combat

When you encounter an enemy, both sides roll their dice. Each die result is added to your total attack score. The one with the highest total score wins.

However, armor can save you. If your total score is lower than the enemy’s, but the enemy’s score does not break your armor threshold, you survive the hit and can continue the fight. If you have meds, you can heal and push your luck even further.

Project: CYRO [Protocol] — Jonas S Fernandez Beta version.

The game will continue to be free to play on my website, regardless of whether this Kickstarter reaches its funding goal. Backing the project helps accelerate development and unlock additional content through stretch goals, allowing me to create a bigger and better experience for all players while keeping the game free for everyone.

Play the game your way!

• Print the game at home using a standard printer.
• Print it at your local library.
• Use a copy shop or professional printing service for higher-quality prints.
• Print only the pages you need to save ink and paper.
• If playing with printed sheets, consider using erasable pens such as Pilot FriXion or similar erasable ink pens. They allow you to track progress, make notes, and update your game sheets while easily removing markings whenever needed. Also consider placing printed sheets in clear plastic sleeves. This allows you to mark progress with dry-erase markers and reuse the same pages for multiple playthroughs.
• Play digitally on your computer, tablet, or mobile device using art and editing software such as Paint, Paint.NET, GIMP, Photoshop, Krita, or similar programs. Track your progress, mark objectives, make notes, and draw temporary lines or markings that can easily be erased, edited, or undone as you play.
• Or play it for free on JonassFernandez.com.

Commoning soon!

I’m a creative soul who moves between art, and play. I see myself as a myth‑maker, shaping dark worlds and strange, ever‑spawning ideas. When my imagination takes control, I become consumed by the creation — obsessed with the new thing clawing its way into existence. My only flaw? Is that I get easly boried! 😉
