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.

My favorite part is when the party shouts, "Get FISTed!"

I wonder if "look at your ideas through crosshairs" is a more "cool" way of saying "kill your darlings."

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.

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".

Let's go! FIST has been so fun for running Hellboy/BPRD games! You hit the nail on the head! I'm looking forward to the box set!

I guess it's finally time to pull the trigger on the Metal Gear X Resident Evil game I've been thinking about for years

Do it.

This reminds me so much of the game FEAR, especially with that name

I've gotten this PDF in a few charity bundles. Respect to the creator for always supporting great causes! 🤘 Definitely going to give it a try now! Thanks for the vid! :D

Glad to see more attention around FIST! It's the single best OSR games I've gotten my hands on, and it deserves the spotlight.

I've found some awesome niche RPGs through this channel. Thanks a lot for the recommendation.

That cover is cool. I love the design and simplicity of it.

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.

This one clicked with my group and it has been a blast since. I am so happy to see you cover it.

I believe the partial success table comes in the form a bookmark for KS backers, but that there's a printable file version also in the online materials.

Has a SCP flavor. I like it.

@SusCalvin

27 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.

Thanks for the video! Am I the only one whose first thought was F.E.A.R. ?

Great review, Ben. Sounds like Hellboy/X Files meets the A Team/Mission Impossible! The intro definitely sounds like it's based on the A Team!😂😂😂😂 👍👍👍👍😎😎😎😎

YES! Love this game omg

FIST! Love this game.

This was a random impulse buy a year or two ago and it has been cool to watch it grow and blow up with a kickstarter and a ton of hacks.

For my games, I've been running the FIST organization as a sort of suicide squad situation for various supernatural situations.

I'm glad this game got covered. It is really fun.

Great review! Love the concept of the game and the sheer wealth of advice and content is awesome. The "talking motorcycle" premade npc is gold. Shades of Heat Vision and Jack.

Oh hell yeah, I want to run a campaign of this so bad!

This is rare case of PbtA-like game I really love! Been running for a last few months and it was a blast!

I've run a few sessions of this now and I've thoroughly enjoyed it. Breeze to run. Full of flavor.

This gave me also FEAR vibes, that's like a big plot point

So happy to see this covered on this channel! FIST is a fantastic game with a great community, if you're thinking of picking it up don't hesitate!

The one thing I disliked in original Apocalypse World was hx, the relationship level between PCs. But it was easy to lift out.

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.

Why is my version of FIST only 24 pages?! Nvm you explained it.

Hello, is Knave 2e going to be translated for Spain the same as it was with Knave 1e?

I love this game.

such a lyricist 👏

I keep telling myself I don't need another game but this sounds awesome.

You should've read/highlighted the Director Trait. Just bonkers.

Already sold out on exalted funeral :(

nice. if an rpg rule book has more than 2 pages of rules, its too many rules. i like this. i dont see how its like OSR tho

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.

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.

"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.
