Dimm City Preparing for Launch

Dimm City LLC is preparing to launch its first roleplaying game on Kickstarter.

Also entitled Dimm City, this debut title is a CreaturePunk roleplaying game. Defined as an ‘evolution of the Cyberpunk genera, where your characters should be anything but human’, CreaturePunk games revolve around a variety of character types such as robots, monsters, anthropomorphs and more. In Dimm City, those characters navigate a dangerous existence in the game’s titular metropolis.

Gameplay in Dimm CIty promises to be fast and cinematic, with the action driven by simple mechanics and a single 20-sided die.

The image features the cover of the roleplaying game "Dimm City," showcasing a stylized illustration of three anthropomorphic characters. The central character, a cat-like figure with glowing green eyes, is dressed in futuristic armor and holds a weapon, flanked by two other characters that resemble a rabbit and another cat, both equipped with cybernetic enhancements. The background depicts a dark, urban environment, enhancing the CreaturePunk theme, while the title "Dimm City" is prominently displayed at the top in bold, red lettering.

A cartoonish anthropomorphic rabbit character stands against a muted background. The rabbit has large, round goggles over its eyes and a wide, toothy grin, revealing sharp teeth. It holds a baseball bat with spikes in one hand and has a small object, possibly a cigarette, in its mouth, adding to its edgy appearance. The character's body is slender and elongated, emphasizing its creature-like features.

The image features a stylized anthropomorphic gorilla character, showcasing a blend of organic and mechanical elements. The gorilla has a serious expression, with a prominent cybernetic headpiece that includes glowing blue accents and colorful, braided cables extending down its neck. It wears a metallic shoulder pad, adding to its futuristic appearance, set against a softly blurred background that enhances the character's striking features.

A robotic, anthropomorphic cat character stands in a dimly lit alleyway, embodying the CreaturePunk aesthetic. The character features a sleek, metallic body with a blue and silver color scheme, large expressive eyes, and prominent pink ears. It holds a glowing staff topped with a purple crystal, while its tail curls playfully behind it, suggesting a blend of whimsy and danger in the urban environment. The background hints at a gritty metropolis, with blurred signs and structures that enhance the game's cyberpunk theme.

The image features a stylized logo for the roleplaying game "Dimm City." At the center, there is a vibrant, anthropomorphic wolf's head with striking orange and black colors, showcasing large ears and a fierce expression. Above the wolf, a colorful mushroom with intricate patterns in purple and green hovers, adding a fantastical element to the design. The overall composition is framed within a diamond shape, with green foliage motifs surrounding the wolf, emphasizing the CreaturePunk theme of the game. The background is a deep navy blue, enhancing the vivid colors of the logo.

A dark, atmospheric skyline of a city is depicted, featuring various gothic and industrial buildings silhouetted against a moody, twilight sky. The background is dominated by a large, glowing red orb, suggesting a celestial body, while hints of blue and gray clouds add depth to the scene. Some windows in the buildings are illuminated, creating a contrast with the overall darkness and enhancing the sense of mystery in this CreaturePunk setting.

The image features three anthropomorphic characters set against a backdrop of a dimly lit, urban environment. The central figure is a tall, humanoid creature with antlers, wearing a dark cloak and holding a large weapon, while its eyes glow red. To the left, a small green robot stands with a rounded body, and to the right, a shorter character with a blue head and a backpack holds a glowing orb, all contributing to the CreaturePunk aesthetic of the game. The overall color palette is muted, enhancing the gritty atmosphere of the scene.

Convention tables that foster careers have become unaffordable, many of the stepping stones that turn hobbyists into professionals have simply ceased to exist.
