Here’s a link to a working hack I made called Streets of Passion.

The Pitch: Streets of Passion is set in a retro futuristic 80’s city called Sun City,. The touchstones are low (and sometimes high) budget action films of the 80’s. Think Robocop but you play as the Clarence Brodicker’s gang. Now add ninjas and designer drugs and a dash of saturday morning cartoons.

I’ve run it at a couple of cons and we had a lot of fun. I was going to flesh it out into a standalone book, but I’m not sure that’s something people are actually interested in, and it turns out writing a game book is a lot of work? But I want as many people to enjoy it as possible, so here’s a link to the hack as well as playbooks.

This is awesome! But needs more JCVD. Would this be a Wreck roll? https://gph.to/2ViBITy

The Playbooks look really professional. Did you do them on InDesign? Is there a template floating around?

Thanks Michael! The playbooks are in indesign. I think I started with a template but i rebuilt it from the ground-up. JCVD would totally fit in SoP world!!!

I used Chance Budreaux(sp?) (JCVD character in Hard Target) in the last Streets of Passion I played with Fork Frenzy. That was awesome!

Extremely cool concept! A few things I like:

  • The cover art is dope. Did you illustrate it?
  • The concept is so grounded in the genre. I love that you even say stuff like “Before you start playing this, go to your local Blockbuster video and rent”.
  • The sheet of quickbuilds. Great idea.
