Metal King Studio is the one-person operation behind Relicblade, a tabletop tactics-RPG of heroic adventurers exploring a dying world. The whole catalog (rules, the metal miniature line, character and upgrade cards, supplements) is designed and produced by Sean Sutter.

Sutter also makes Sludge, a miniature-agnostic fantasy wargame set in a black powder age, sold as PDF rules alongside resin miniatures, conversion heads and printable digital kits.
