Spatialwarp is either an ageless contortion in the fabric of spacetime, doomed to eternity in a low-dimensional bubble, or a white dude in his early 40s who lives near Boston with his wife and 3 fur babies — depends on when and who you ask. He’s been neck-deep in indie ttrpgs since 2019 and writing them since 2024. Check out all his games at: https://spatialwarp.itch.io.
GREEN THE GRID!
Do you want to be a climate superhero? Do you want to punch oil in the face and give coal a swirly? Do you want to make life on this planet better for all people, plants, animals, and oceans? OF COURSE YOU DO! Do so with Green the Grid, a TTRPG about getting revenge on fossil fuels.
Do you want to be a climate superhero? (Captain Planet for you USAmericans!) Do you want to punch oil in the face and give coal a swirly? Do you want to make life on this planet better for all people, plants, animals, and oceans? OF COURSE YOU DO!
In this action-packed solarpunk game, you play as the Renewables: superpowered avatars of Hydroelectric, Photovoltaic, Wind, Geothermal, and Marine (the current most productive renewable energy methods). You also have the team’s robot dog B.E.S.S.! (Battery Energy Storage Solutions). You’re all up against the MegaFossils: Oil, Coal, and Methane, plus all their various facilities and minions. In this game you have not one but TWO missions:
- Convert the power grid to 100% renewable energy by installing new stuff, changing regulations, negotiating trade deals, funding R&D, all the good stuff.
- Kill the MegaFossils and TAKE BACK THE EARTH.
It all happens on a hex-grid that represents the electrical grid. Each hex has some Fossils to thrash and a real-world-style Objective or three to complete. Now those nasty Fossils can attack you, or they can attack the grid itself — this is where B.E.S.S. comes in! Give your dice-roll successes to her to repair or protect the grid. Take downtime between hexes to upgrade B.E.S.S, or upgrade yourselves. Oh, and the MegaFossils? They’re already wandering around the grid, breaking things. Chop chop, clock’s ticking.
Show them all what for, and you get to take down the super secret final boss. Wanna know who it is? I could tell you you have to buy the game to find out, but that feels too much like the nature of this final boss. It’s Capitalism, of course. Go show him he doesn’t own you.

About Havoc
Havoc Engine games are: short-form, over-the-top, and give players the bulk of narrative authority.
Havoc believes players should do the fun thing immediately and then find another fun thing to do based on the first fun thing. This engine is more candy than you should eat. This engine is a greased pig. This engine is a drum kit for your seventh birthday. This engine is Friday night forever.
The Havoc Engine Toolkit is designed to help you make your own original games, and then unleash them on the world.
