wow wow WOW! This is such an incredible submission and people NEED to be paying more attention to it. I love the visuals, the whole pdf is well laid-out and easy to read but also use as reference while at the table, and the content is so awesome, with excellent attention to content warnings and as a punk-rocker who knows how your genre can be exploited I love the section making it clear that there is no endorsement here of the darker side of the metal fandom. Seeing this on the same day as seeing GW on facebook making it clear that they are LGBTQ+ friendly makes me a very happy guy. Great work and can't way to see more from you
I will start by saying I know next to nothing about death metal.
This is excellent, the style is irreproachable, each new traits (36 of them ! ) come with a bit of lore and mechanic, the change to 3D6 to allow for a 666 to be rolled is very smart. And when you finished reading about all the thing for the players and already ready to put the highest rating, there is also a section fo Refere, and then some lore with a dozen organisation.
The ambiance seems a lot darker, more like a cthulu or other horrors game than the militarist vibe of FIST, with demons and otherworldly horrors.
The trait seems to go a little on the high end for the power end impact on game, but FIST already come with very powerfull trait, so it shoudn't be problematic to use in a standard game (and the game has the little box with advice to the refere, so it's even more easy to integrate this content in the standard game ! )
5/5
Radical cover!
Well, awesome design in general!
