The complete print edition. Core D6 engine, six operator classes, missions, combat loop, solo support, and GM procedures — the whole game in one volume.
A tabletop wargame, TTRPG, solo system, mass-battle doctrine, vehicle-combat circuit, GM-map atlas, faction archive, and two playable digital prototypes.
All set in 2066. Earth, 2042–2105 — gene-forge conflict, all theatres. Read it like a leaked field wiki. Run it at the table. Play it in the browser. All free. All open.
Six military superpowers carved up what was left. Climate collapse rearranged who controls what. Coastlines moved. Rivers dried. Fresh water is the new oil. Bioweapons. Drone swarms. AI that shoots before it asks questions. War never stopped — it just stopped being called war.
Shoot, fight, hack, breach, heal — same mechanic, one die. Three operators or thirty. Solo with the oracle. Run it at the table. Push miniatures across a 3′×3′ board for mass battle. Rules stay out of the way so the action stays at the table.
A leaked helmet-cam fragment. Eight seconds. No metadata. No survivor confirmed.
The Dead Channel is the unofficial archive — operator HUD captures that survived the cuts. Scrubbed, recompressed, passed hand to hand. Authenticity assumed. This is what the war looks like at twelve inches from the muzzle.
Spliced animal genetics. Commercial entertainment stock. Bespoke oligarch commissions. Black-market basement labs. Operators rebuilt from the genome up — wired-in night vision, kevlar dermis, ears that hear past comm-jam, hands that don't shake under fire.
Mixed squads — gene-forged and baseline together, the splice — are the freelance default. You are not faction. You are not military. You take the job. You bring your team home.
The RPG came first. Operator Tactics was built from the ground up as a narrative game — a GM-led, character-driven experience where operators build histories, carry liabilities, and run campaigns across linked missions. Pressure tokens. Supply state. Six classes. One six-sided die runs everything.
The tabletop. Two scales, one rules engine. Skirmish is the small game — two players, three to six operators each, a dinner-tray table, 60–90 minutes, no GM. Iron Line is the big game — two armies of autonomous combat platforms grinding across a 3′×3′ board. Same D6. Same crit/fumble. Abstraction jumps up.
Standalone supplements and pre-built campaigns. Solo hunting with Big Game and an oracle. Card-game tension with HVT. Vehicle-combat heists in Raid Racers. Pre-built campaigns — First Contact, Dead Loop, Echo Protocol, The Bright Signal. Plug into the engine; everything talks to everything.
The complete print edition. Core D6 engine, six operator classes, missions, combat loop, solo support, and GM procedures — the whole game in one volume.
Fast first-session packet. D6 engine, six classes, pressure tokens, supply state, combat, wounds, NPC behavior, missions, and campaign loop — the whole RPG, compressed.
