The layout of this feels great. I like the encounter tables, & the end boss sounds like he'd be really fun to run.
I think my favorite part of this though is the "People & what they know" section. A great way to convey a concise amount of both character & information, & totally something I'm gonna steal for future projects.
Oh damn this is rad as hell
If regular FIST is A-Team + SCP (or Control), then this is Fast & Furious + Ghost Rider (I mean I've never watched a F&F movie, so this assessment is based just on Vibes attained via cultural osmosis). Or like... you know that scene in Batman & Robin where Robin & Batgirl do a weird neon drag race through Gotham? Yeah that's kind of what this brought to mind, but with the undead. & it's DOPE.
This is definitely going on my list of games to make my friends play at some point. It paints such a great picture of a world of dead racers & what that means for people.
My original plan was to do a "brochure" (it'd still be in a zine format) for like, an Evil and/or Haunted Circus, w/ enemy stats & traits
But all of the sudden I got the idea of a pamphlet of like "So, You Fell Into The Anomalous Void..." or something, w/ Lore & Traits. Like the vibe of something you'd find in Fallout, or some of the tapes from Control, the FMV stuff.
Gosh it's always so cool to see people engaging with stuff I made! Thanks for commenting!
But yeah, with the CRO/CYCLOPS/Directorate stuff, the Directorate is a branch of the CIA (I can't remember if I put that anywhere but my notes), & while reading the FIST rules I sort of got the impression that CYCLOPS was also attached to the government somehow, or at least that it could be. But yeah, totally vague & flexible enough for anyone to fit it into their games however they want!
Yeah, I really wanted to get more into it but I knew if I did any more in-depth research (with something as real & recent as the Cold War, I wouldn't wanna screw anything up) I'd fall down a rabbit hole & wouldn't be able to get it done in time for the Jam. Especially with having a full-time job.
But I'm really glad to hear that people like what I did write!!!
Don't think I have the energy to do something for the jam, but if anyone's looking for something to adapt, go ahead & check out my new (& first!) game Empty Table! Fantasy adventuring as knights of the Round Table post Arthur's fall. They're playtest rules, & nowhere close to finished, but more has been done with less I'm sure :p
I thought about changing names, but then that seemed a bit like stealing? But if that's like A Thing other folks have done, I'll try it w/ Gambler v2!
& I see what you mean about "Like Looking Into A Mirror", I'll look things over again & see if anything fits better or maybe try to make a new ability!
Thank you for the feedback!!
