Shattered Lens Studios // BBTTCC
A post-collapse tabletop RPG world of hexes, mysticism, politics, and beautiful nonsense.
BBTTCC is a living tabletop RPG setting about strange technology, occult systems, faction struggle, and trying to build something worth protecting after the end of the world. We’re building toward a larger public launch and assembling the first wave of fellow travelers now.

What is BBTTCC?
Bunker Busters, Tower Trashers, Castle Crushers ... Fourth ... Thing? is a post-collapse tabletop RPG setting built around factions, hex-based exploration, mystical systems, political drift, weird technology, hard choices, and a setting voice that believes sincerity and absurdity can absolutely ride in the same truck.
This site is now the public beachhead: learn the tone, join the community, watch the signal, and keep an eye on the road to Kickstarter.
Where to begin
- New here? Start with the videos. The Discord gates reopen soon.
- Artist or collaborator? Head to the Artists tab and reach out.
- Want to follow the project? Patreon is being prepared for civilized use and will awaken with the wider public launch.

BBTTCC (Bunker Busters, Tower Trashers, Castle Crushers … Fourth ... Thing?) is a post-collapse tabletop RPG setting blending occult mysticism, political struggle, strange technology, and mythic ruin. It also involves silly voices and nonsense. Could Putin and Gandalf get out of an escape room together? What about if your grandfather was there too? Or Ralph Maccio? We aim to find out!
This is a living world built for long-term play, not a one-off book. We’re assembling a small, trusted pool of artists to help define its visual identity as it grows increasingly groovetastic.
Circuits and Sigils - What We’re Looking For
- Characters & Creatures — faction leaders, classes, bosses, locals, things that should not exist
- Environments & Hex Art — ruins, wastelands, occult sites, lived-in decay
- Symbols & Iconography — sigils, glyphs, arcane diagrams, UI-friendly marks
- Map & Technical Illustration (optional) — hex-based or diagrammatic work that supports play
- People who can dash off Enochian runes while maintaining sanity (for some values of sanity)
Current Visual Direction (Reference Only)
The images and video below are UTTERLY AI Slop. Not proud of that ... but ... They exist ONLY to communicate tone, density, and emotional weight — not as final assets.
Our goal is to replace these references with original, human-made work. WE WILL NOT SELL AI GENERATED ART. WE WILL NOT USE YOUR ART TO TRAIN AI. Nor do we expect you to emulate AI workflows or match these references precisely. Look at them, and see what your brains are inspired to do!
What these references communicate
- Heavy atmosphere and strong contrast
- Mythic but grounded scale
- Readable silhouettes at multiple sizes
- Strange, political, lived-in worlds
- Artwork that works as both splash and UI-adjacent content
- Circuits and sigils grow on everything like moss. The world's skin is healing.
- We hope you like hex shaped things as much as we do. (Not really, no one does)
Narrative beat reference — tone, pacing, and world texture. And only showing Michael Bay movies.
Narrative beat reference — tone, pacing, and world texture. Also cuteness.
Narrative beat reference — tone, pacing, and world texture. And more hexes.
Narrative beat reference — tone, pacing, and world texture. And this is a thing that exists.
Not BBTTCC, or AI - just silly
