Core Mechanic
Roll d20 equal to or under attribute (STR, DEX, CHA) to avoid danger. Attacks always hit — roll weapon damage directly, reduced by armor. 100+ unique Failed Careers define your character through equipment and debt rather than stats.
Best For
Short treasure-hunting campaigns in a surreal, modern-tinged city. Ideal for groups who love strange worldbuilding, fast character creation via 100+ Failed Careers, and fiction-driven play.
Highlights
Two pages of actual rules, 100+ varied Failed Careers, detailed GM guidance, free 42-page edition available, spawned an entire design movement
Considerations
Tightly coupled to its surreal Bastion setting, minimal character progression, requires a confident GM, narrow genre focus
