A board game and an RPG in one PDF, that's something good.
I like the layout and it seems quite appropriate.
About the board game
I like the general idea and the free play. I also find the secret identities very interesting. The introduction is dripping with sarcasm, which fits the theme.
In itself, I think you have to play it, but when I read it, I had a bit of trouble following the gameplay and rules. I think an example of how the game works could make it a bit more clear.
Otherwise, I noticed a few typos:
How to Win: the second line says "until he end", the "t" would be missing.
Being the presenter: there is a lone "B" at the end of the paragraph.
Tokens: there is a "a" too much in the first line: "is given a 15 token".
All in all, I like it quite well. Sounds like a fun couple of hours at a meeting with friends.
The RPG
Here you have left more space/time to explain and it feels better while reading. I also like the idea of keeping the masses calm.
Talking is mentioned quite often as an alternative to fighting. Here I would like to see another rule construct on how this can be implemented. For combat, this was explained in detail.
In the Attacking section: I may be misunderstanding, but since you have to beat your opponent's Fight value, why is rolling 1D12 easy and 3D12 hard? The chance to roll a higher sum with 3D12 and thus exceed the Fight value of the opponent is much higher than with only 1D12.
I also don't understand the test to see if the character can wield a weapon. Does that mean that if a dagger is picked up, the player has to roll 3D12 and get above his own Fight value to be able to wield it? Then very good fighters (with a high Fight value) would have a big disadvantage. They might not be able to wield a big weapon at all.
The last thing I noticed: In the stat reaction table, the reaction for 10 and 30 is identical. Is this intentional?
Again, I like the game. The double threat of the monsters and the population sounds fun and gives it a unique touch.

It's nice seeing the d12 get some love! I like the spooky radio station vibes
