Loved to open the "print this at work" version and find it's completely printer-unfriendly. You had me chuckling here, good job. Great layout and writing. It's easy to understand, leaves comfortable room for imagination without expecting me to create more rules to fill supposed mechanical gaps. I like your irony as well. I can't wait to run it someday for my group.
Nicely put together and designed. Would be hard to engage some players with the central 'revenge' but this does an amazing amount in a limited space and is very clear with good timer mechanic.
Hilarious tone, and definitely a cathartic adventure for many players, haha.
I like the countdown timer, and especially the 5-minute events. I suppose the most difficult hurdle to running this is generating enough obstacles to obstruct players from completing the sabotage without time to spare. Perhaps more varied goals that bring players closer to the limit, or even not explicitly naming the goals.
Really good thematic little adventure. Had me chuckling the entire time I was reading it. I'm excited to run this and it seems like it would be pretty easy/quick. I think that it could have used a little more sci-fi stuff, but I seriously love all the aesthetics! Got some real good Office Space vibes. Excellent work!
Really creative interpretation of the theme. I feel a lot of the science fiction stuff is kind of tacked on -- the only thing that distinguishes the boss character from a modern day boss is the fact that he has a laser rifle. Kind of depressing how accurate it is to 2022's workplaces actually lol.
