Thank you everyone for you continued interest in Impulse Drive!

Impulse Drive 3.0 is here.

There are a lot of mechanical updates under the hood. Not only has tracking time and money been abstracted, new gear and ship upgrades have been added, along with two more playable classes of ships.

The Gear and Move cards have been revamped to be more printer and eye friendly.

Strains have been added for encouraging play in the form of Scenes, Episodes, and seasons, with countdowns called Fuses used to add mechanical urgency to your games.

Likewise, Jobs have been renamed Contracts, and revamped to fir into a similar model.

I expect this to be the last rules update for Impulse Drive for quite some time, with future updates being cosmetic formatting or spelling/grammar fixes for the document.

Please, download the game, and share this post, and enjoy!

Considering making a hack for Destiny, the wildly popular (and even more wildly aggravating) MMO shooter from Bungie.

Considering making a hack for Destiny, the wildly popular (and even more wildly aggravating) MMO shooter from Bungie. Three main classes, each with three subclasses, would make for nine distinct playbooks, plus 3 races with maybe different per-class bonuses.

Then you have all the special moves. Supers tracked by number of kills maybe? 2 kills gives you a grenade, five kills gives you your super? Stats from the game: Recovery, Armor, Agility, Strength, Discipline, Intellect. Perhaps there are no stat advances, but instead modifiers are tied to gear?

Not sure how to handle death and ghosts and whatnot. Wouldn’t consider moving forward until I got a solid grasp on that. People do die, for sure, including Guardians — but “respawning” is a thing, too… Perhaps death leaves the ghost unprotected, and unless the guardian can be revived quickly on the field they’ll be reborn, thanks to their ghost, in a new or altered form, or with some other change?

The game is kind of an empty place, but there’s so much lore there that it’s actually a really robust world. What say ye?

So, I’m going to be in #Chicago   this coming Thursday until Sunday; my wife is at a conference, I’m minding the kids, but I may have an evening or two free.

Any #PbtA   gamers out in the Windy City (which, coincidentally was the setting of my very first AW campaign!) want to meet up, hang out, and, maybe, even roll some dice?

Here’s a PBTA misfits and spaceships hack I’ve been working on. It’s now in alpha testing so check it out!

It’s ready!

Impulse Drive is now in alpha testing! The following link has the rules and printouts necessary to play a game of misfits and spaceships and insurmountable debt using the PBTA engine.

I’ll be running playtest games over hangouts, skype, and/or roll20 over the next few weeks, and I invite others to run games themselves. These rules are free to distribute and play. If you have any questions about the rules, feel free to contact me and I’ll try to answer them as promptly as I can.
