Here’s looking at genetech soldiers, kid

A narrative wireframe for the FIST rpg — available at DriveThru and itch

THE HOOK

# FOR OPERATIVE EYES ONLY #

::: target to deposit a package at unknown safehouse
::: learn location of safehouse
::: secure package
::: do not reveal FIST involvement

- Nothing can be traced back to us
- You will need to find weapons on-site

THE MOVES

When players roll 9 OR BELOW, the operator will make a move that follows from what’s been going on in the fiction.

If there is no obvious development, roll 1D6:

• 1–3 = TACTICAL = complicate the operatives’ plans
• 4–5 = ESPIONAGE = information is lost, corrupted, or falsified
• 6 = ACTION = instigate chaos, a chase, a combat

THE MAJOR PLAYERS

THE STATE

• WANTS — eliminate loose ends
• *paint the scene — *what looks or behaviours reveal someone is an agent of the state?

AGENDA:

1. blockade the town
2. impose curfew
3. seize personal and private assets
4. enact ensurgency

# AGENTS OF THE STATE #

::: Queen's Bishop, sniper
::: Laced-in-Soup, ex-paramilitary

THE SPLINTER

• WANTS — launch the space-laser
• paint the scene — how did we get this intel and why do we trust it?

AGENDA:

1. create an over-the-top distraction
2. secure the package
3. establish a perimeter at the old mine
4. launch the space-laser!

# SPLINTER AGENTS #

::: Model MkII, failed psion
::: Hasan Polearm, tactician and wrestler

THE STAFF

When you need a name, roll 1D6:

• 1–3 = nominally determinist
• 4–5 = ironic
• 6 = a play on words

# EXAMPLE NAMES #

::: Medics, Unicom, Quiksan, Futurfast, Warrin, Ocuwit, Fructose, Bear, February Complex, Guide

THE SELL

Perhaps this is all too current for you.

For my forties horror-noir, you want EXUVIAE.
