Just reading the description is enough to get me excited! I would love to learn how to run this for my friends so we can all play this together! Will definitely be looking out for community copies :D
Hey! Just to start things over: I love FIST. I'd like to know if there's any rule for facing multiple enemies at the same time, like goons or something. Do I roll the damage of groups of enemies just once? Do their numbers work only as HP multipliers?
Hi! We're working on a rules supplement that will clarify this and some other questions people have had, but in the meantime - we generally run it so each enemy a player is engaging can individually roll damage against them when the player rolls a failure, meaning that an unlucky merc can absolutely be lit up by like ten separate guys at once. Stealth is critical !!
Good to know, thanks for the reply! I'm also thinking about the rule that limits the damage of GROUPS type enemies to their total number, I think there's some troopers with that rule in the corebook. Can't wait for the rules supplement tho!
I notice the font used for FIST is actually pretty similar to the shape of the letters for Forged In Shadow Torch. I keep thinking this tapletop game is related, but it's not.
Won't stop me from imagining the characters as animals, though, since they were in Forged In Shadow Torch, and animals are cool. :p
I just bought this in the bundle for ukrainian hospitals, and while I haven't played yet, I actually printed out the ultra edition and it's SO STYLISH? Everything from the illustration to the font really hammers home the overall themes, and I had to leave a comment for this reason alone.
Hi! Regarding trait #122 Animus.... what is the included item "Lighter (your longtime companion)"? Is it just a Bic lighter or a companion or what? What's the intended tie-in with the trait? I found a flip-lighter in the item index. Idk. Just trying to figure this one out. Thanks. Congrats on the game.
hey thanks for checking the game out! it's a lighter of whatever kind you imagine (bic, zippo, whatever) and it's your buddy because ANIMUS lets you make objects sentient - basically, it's a way to set things on fire, but it also is your friend. reflavoring items is encouraged so you might also make it some other common object given consciousness
THANK YOU FOR THE COMMUNITY COPY! It's difficult for me to get anything paid, and to find this just after reading it up from the lancer reddit. perfect. Thank you again

Any plans for future print runs?
Not sure, things are up in the air right now with the industry being a mess!

we'll be adding some soon!!
Ooh, thank you so much!! I'll be on the lookout :D
Apologies if this has been asked before, but is there a campaign/adventure or adaptation of FIST for solo players?
We're working on one and hope to release it this year!

What is the body font you use in FIST? I love it.
Space Grotesk with some stylistic alternates turned on (the alternate D, B, g, and y)
Thank you!

funnily enough we only found out about that game after releasing this one!!
Is there an actual "level cap" for how many traits an agent can have?
nope!!

Thanks. I was over thinking it. Lol. You just made me think of the bullets from Who Framed Roger Rabbit. Heh. Perfect.
happy to help!!
How many players is this designed for? Cheers. :)
one referee and one to six players!
Oh awesome, so this CAN be played solo?
sorry, meant that it can be played with one referee and one PC - we are working on solo rules though in an upcoming expansion!
Ar ok cool. Well I'll keep an eye out for the expansion then. Cheers mate. :)
Thank you to everyone who've donated a community copy, I'm very grateful to have a chance to try this game, I wish everyone the best
