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.

@marshallsriboonrung2887 14 дней назад

Guest starring Jan Micheal Vincent as "The Pilot".

@inventist 14 дней назад

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

@vincepale 14 дней назад

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

@martinceronr 14 дней назад

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 14 дней назад

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".

@Hey_Its_Freya 14 дней назад

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

@divideby000 14 дней назад

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

@Bluecho4 14 дней назад

Do it.

@go_outside 14 дней назад

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!

@PossumMedic 14 дней назад

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

@danielrowan4716 14 дней назад

Has a SCP flavor. I like it.

@arty3090 14 дней назад

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.

@erkinzahedi9666 14 дней назад

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

@Bluecho4 14 дней назад

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.

@senorwoohooSD 14 дней назад

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

@skander222 14 дней назад

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.

@ganzagaming1849 14 дней назад

Surprised Delta Green wasn't listed as a inspiration.

@TheNubiS 14 дней назад

It's going for a very different vibe, though.

@Sammo212 14 дней назад

idk feels more inspired by FEAR than DG

@SusCalvin 12 дней назад

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.

@odinborrson 14 дней назад

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

@borgy1337 14 дней назад

FIST is great -- surprised that you're covering non-fantasy games, but I'll take em!

@PossumMedic 14 дней назад

He also has a good vid on Mothership!

@deadlyDM 14 дней назад

My wallet is again a little lighter thanks to Questing Beast. A game I didn't know I needed until today. Looks super fun!

@MoriTouge 14 дней назад

I adore Agents of Odd, so I'll give a try. 😊

@MiniatureMashUp 14 дней назад

This seems very much like Bureau 13.

@steelmongoose4956 14 дней назад

I was wondering if anyone else would summon the ghost of Tri-Tac. Good times. 😃

@marshallsriboonrung2887 14 дней назад

Sold. Just got it!

@bonkposting 14 дней назад

YES! Love this game omg

@trynda1701 14 дней назад

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!😂😂😂😂 👍👍👍👍😎😎😎😎

@lostinlymbo13 14 дней назад

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

@faxmachine1162 3 дня назад

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

@PhilipDudley3 14 дней назад

FIST! Love this game.

@DominionDee 14 дней назад

Fist bout' to get a nice bump after this video, let's gooo!! 🙌🏻

@lugaruclone 13 дней назад

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.

@benjaminloyd6056 14 дней назад

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

@allenzadok8330 13 дней назад

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.

@GRIMSVOLT 14 дней назад

Survive a really bad trip... THE ACID IS KICKING IN.

@PossumMedic 14 дней назад

We can't stop here it's paranormal country! 😝

@Bluecho4 14 дней назад

It reminds me of those missions from Far Cry 4 where you go on a drug trip.

@drillerdev4624 13 дней назад

Obliterated show?

@talldarkstrangerpr 13 дней назад

Send lawyers, guns, and money! The shit has hit the fan!

@Boxman214 14 дней назад

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

@delvinginthedepths9042 14 дней назад

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

@sinistertwister686 14 дней назад

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

@Ekair42 13 дней назад

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

@mavfan21 13 дней назад

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.

@Crimenocerous 14 дней назад

I love this game.

@discosludge 14 дней назад

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!

@SusCalvin 12 дней назад

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

@Neekamhakane 14 дней назад

such a lyricist 👏

@myautobiographyafanfic1413 14 дней назад

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

@xer0vi 13 дней назад

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

@kubas00 14 дней назад

Already sold out on exalted funeral :(

@PhilipDudley3 14 дней назад

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

@TheInfamousRPGGroup-on-Rumble 12 дней назад

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

@QuestingBeast 12 дней назад

OSR playstyle and principles. Not OSR rules.

@cadiastands8 14 дней назад

Someone’s a fan of Bud’s RPG Review I see 😂

@QuestingBeast 14 дней назад

I was the first hand guy!

@fontainelefunk 14 дней назад

instantly sold out, wtf

@fedev80 7 часов назад

Pronouns on the CS, pass! 🤦🏻

@danmorgan3685 14 дней назад

"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.

@martenzabel972 14 дней назад

Like Strongbad once said: Every word gets worse if you add "fan" infront of it. Club. Art. Fiction...

@JFolo-gr8dw 14 дней назад

That's a pretty absurd way of interpreting the advice...

@davidbudzik5970 14 дней назад

Geez. Someone doesn’t like fans. Can’t you just mentally substitute the words, “person who likes” for the word “fan?”

@boomerkobold3943 14 дней назад

Way to be a pretentious D-bag…

@PossumMedic 14 дней назад

I don't know... they sound pretty cool if you talk through them... 🤖

@xychoticbreak5198 14 дней назад

Almost interested but then you let me know it's PbtA. Thanks, Ben. Now I know not to bother.

@WindowsApples 14 дней назад

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.

@Boxman214 14 дней назад

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.

@benjaminloyd6056 14 дней назад

It actually plays much different than PBTA.

@SusCalvin 12 дней назад

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.
