pillars of creation
Our team here at Bantam is passionate about exploration, adventure, and stepping into the wild unknown. We spent all of our “Grit” trying to capture the spirit of what we love and bring it to life in our first game, Bantam West. Let us bring light to the three pillars that drive our creative process...
Expansive themes
Nothing is surface level, there is a beating heart beneath every aspect of our creations.
Immersive production
Art is what makes us human, therefore, we will never limit expression by budget or time constraints.
Rock-solid mechanics
Through iteration, we strive to take feedback and implement changes where necessary.
What is An Immersive Tabletop Sim?
The Immersive Tabletop Sim, or "ITS" for short, is a type of role-playing board game pioneered by Bantam Planet. These games emphasize player choice and creative problem solving in a self-contained system, thus requiring no game master to function. All ITS games will be compatible for combined play!
ITS Distinctions
No Game Master
It combines aspects of TTRPGs, stealth games, fighting games and exploration games in a self-contained system—meaning no Game Master.
narrative forming
The opportunities for scoring points always greatly outnumber the winning conditions, emphasizing player agency and narrative.
Character’s Perspective
All game interactions are witnessed from the character’s point of view, allowing the players to immerse themselves in the game world.
monolith of pioneers
We must strive to remember where we came from and pay respect to all those that help us along the way. It is the Bantam Way to construct a monument for each milestone we reach, commemorating those who helped us achieve it. The first monument is the Monolith of Pioneers.
The Monolith of Pioneers is dedicated to all those that pledged ‘Home On The Range’ or above during our first Kickstarter campaign. Without these tough individuals and the trust they bestowed upon us, we could not have shared Gallow Springs and its surrounding lands with the inhabitants of Earth Realm.
Every Pioneer has their name carved into a stone plate - each a slab extracted from the Southern Loren Range - and will be forever honored as the first Earthly Citizens of the Dethelm Frontier.
From Team Bantam
At Bantam Planet, we’re on a mission to ignite creativity and inspire introspection. As a game publisher, we’re committed to bringing you immersive experiences that will transport you to a world unknown. We’re passionate about everything we do and cannot wait to share our current and future creations with you!
Words from the world’s creator
From start to finish, life places obstacles and challenges in our path that we must overcome. When the burden builds, we can find respite in the little hideaways we make for ourselves. After all, everyone needs some rest, from the weariest Travelers to the mightiest Strugglers.
Bantam Planet was born as an escape of my own - a place where every unknown was a new opportunity for creative expression. As the world grew in scope and its first game became a reality, I shared it so that you, too, might find excitement in its adventures and peace in its beauty.
As a call to all weary Travelers, “Wish You Were Here!”
