A One-Woman Games Studio from Yvris Burke
Established in 2020 by game designer, writer, and web developer Yvris Burke, Button Kin Games is home to whimsical and strange TTRPGs with unusual themes, and a smattering of D&D 5e content.
Check out the About section to learn more about Yvris, or the blog to catch up on recent happenings.
The Custom of the Sea is Yvris' in-development Regency horror TTRPG. You'll play as a castaway, one of several from all levels of society shipwrecked and stranded with His Royal Highness the Prince Regent. You find yourselves on a mysterious island governed by a malevolent intelligence which wants to corrupt or destroy you. Will you hold strong to propriety or indulge your animal instincts to survive?
A relaxing map-making and journaling game about dancing bees
A TTRPG about reality TV competitions and the fame-hungry llamas who compete in them
A plucky preteen struggles to reunite their separating parents
