Demo Sessions

Cherry Picked Games is starting up another round of Catalyst demos to help introduce people to our wonderful role-playing game. We are still setting a lot of dates in stone, but the first demo will be at Card Kingdom in Ballard. We will be there from 6-10pm, Thursday the 25th.

So what are these demos? They are a chance to try out Catalyst in a quick, noncommittal mini-session. Players take on the identity of one of our premade characters for a brief scenario. They work together to help the Seattle militia with some threat to humanity. Whether it is sniffing out a demon-worshiping cult, quelling a riot about the plague quarantine, or driving a speed boat into a giant monster, players will get a taste for the Catalyst universe.

With everything ready-to-go for players, the barrier to entry is removed. Players with no experience in role-playing games can step up and quickly learn Catalyst. More experienced gamers are able to speak with us, the game creators, about what differentiates us from other RPGs and why Catalyst is right for them.

Whether you are already a fan or just curious about this game, you should come by and roll some dice with us. See why playtesters brought Catalyst into the world through Kickstarter.

We Shipped...

I never made an official post here about shipping. All the Catalyst Kickstarter copies and pre-orders have been sent out. If you haven't received anything from us (including digital rewards) please let us know.

As mentioned through Kickstarter, the custom dice for $90+ backers are delayed and should arrive here in a couple weeks. We'll post KS updates and double check shipping addresses with people when the time comes. 

The player and game master apps are coming soon. The Android player app will be first; expect details within the week. The others will be hot around the corner.

Three more backer-commissioned  premade campaigns are also in various stages of completion. The "Fourth World" playtests are wrapping up, so our gunslinging, Northern-Arizona saga will be available shortly afterwards.

Thanks again for the love all around. Send us pictures, stories, sketches, character sheets, rule disputes, or whatever other Catalyst fandom stuff you have. We can't wait!

Digital Orders

PDF copies of Catalyst are now available for purchase. Pre-ordering for the physical copy ends Monday, when regular sales begin.

Campaigns, which serve as guides for game masters through stories we designed, will start arriving later week. Our first one is "Runaways": set in a world where the demons dramatically overpowered humanity, the players must escape captivity and brave the harsh Colorado wilderness in order to survive.
