We play this as an 80s action TV show down to describing the characters by period actors. “Tonight’s special guest star: Lee Van Cleef as the Ninja Master “. So much fun.

I wonder if "look at your ideas through crosshairs" is a more "cool" way of saying "kill your darlings."
@martinceronr 19 күн бұрын
It is. As you can see in the video, it's presented as part of the Play to Find Out principle from PbtA games. The crosshairs wording comes from Apocalypse World, where it's about making the storyworld a constantly changing and unpredictable place (anything can die at any moment). Here it's focused on the GM letting go of their own ideas for the story, letting the characters' actions take the story into unforeseen territory.
@emarsk77 18 күн бұрын
The "crosshair" bit comes from Apocalypse World, which constantly uses questionable language to "set the mood" or something, but there it means that the GM should actively think about subverting the status quo, overthrowing factions, killing NPCs. It's a much more story-oriented game. In FIST, it looks like it basically means "let the players screw up your plans".

This might not be a bad system to run a game inspired by SIGNALIS. Rogue cyborgs with faulty memory inherited from a dead person, fighting in the shadow of an oppressive government in a "Cassette Future" setting. While in the background, the forces of barely understood magic and Lovecraftian gods bend both mind and flesh.

idk feels more inspired by FEAR than DG
@SusCalvin 17 күн бұрын
Roughly a third of old DG adventures can end with a good old federal raid. But like end of adventure rituals in other Cthulhu adventures, the path there is laden with investigation. Action in BRP is gnarly. People are squishy. Even many monsters can't stand up to the automatic weapons rules. A firefight is not a drawn-out affair.

Great review, thanks for sharing. Con, I find PbtA to be very limiting as a mechanic. Pro, it should be easy to port this into d20. Looks like there a ton of fun tools and tables.

"Be a fan of the characters." is the most toxic idea to come out of Powered by the Apocalypse. The concept of fandom is inherently toxic so leaning into it is a terrible idea.

I don't really know what PbtA is as I mostly only run B/X but FIST has become one of my new favorite games. There are no rules in it that feel that different to the OSR systems I normally run if that means anything. I've even ran old-school D&D modules using FIST with minimum conversion.

Ehhh.... only the dice mechanic is PBTA. There are no playbooks or moves. Still might not be for you, but I wouldn't put it in the same boat as PBTA.

It actually plays much different than PBTA.

There is a great many PbtA games and sorting out which ones are worth bothering with is a chore. I still like baseline Apocalypse World.
