FUELED BY BLOOD! Ashcan
A downloadable Character Action TTRPG
The year is 2073, and the apocalypse has come. Terrible creatures clawed their way into our reality through rifts we made in vain grasps at power. Asia is in ruins. Europe and Africa are crumbling. The Americas have been infected.
Earth is dying. The world is ending.
You are Strikers, cybernetically enhanced super soldiers designed to be the pinnacle of combat. Now, you are humanity's final defense. Wield impossible weapons, perform crazy combos, and kill the apocalypse---or die trying!
Fueled by Blood! is a diceless TTRPG designed to play and feel like character action games and fast paced shooters. It places an emphasis on flashy, player-skill based combat without the need for a VTT, and tells cheesy stories about extraordinarily powerful characters trying to kill monstrosities that are larger than life.
This version of the game (the ashcan) is designed only to support the contained one-shot. In it, the players will take on 1 of 2 possible roles: Strikers, or the Director.
Strikers are cybernetically enhanced super-soldiers---effectively living weapons. They can expect to use over-the-top weapons and abilities to destroy extra-dimensional monstrosities in Combo based combat, as well as to show off using physics breaking abilities during cutscenes and exploration. Each Striker will pick 1 of the 4 pre-gens to play: the Monolith, the Oracle, the Phantom, or the Slayer.
The Director controls the hordes of strange beasts that are causing havoc, and sets up dangerous scenarios to challenge the Strikers. They can expect to add interest to a ruined world by establishing action-packed set pieces and cleverly hidden secrets, and to create tension by creating Threats during cutscenes and strategically running hostiles during combats. Since this ashcan comes with a premade mission, the Director is expected to run that, using the secrets, set pieces, and combats provided.
~~~Content Notes~~~
At this moment, the ashcan is currently missing 1.) the rules quick references, and 2.) a printer friendly version of the document. I plan to have those quality of life features out by 8/8/24 8/11/24 (date changed due to me getting sick over the weekend after launching this title).
