Thank you everyone for you continued interest in Impulse Drive!

Impulse Drive 3.0 is here, and it’s still totally free.

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!

1.) Yes and no — It can cease to be a gang, and in that manner become an ex-parrot.. er.. non-existent entity.

a.) staying alive is… staying alive… that is, continuing to exist with the directed purpose ascribable to any entity:-however, every couple harm that the gang soaks, counts as a couple fatalities (separate from injuries) that an angel is likely to pronounce D.O.A. (CHOPPERS -> ADDITIONAL RULES -> GANGS & HARM)

b.) By disbanding — not ‘holding up’ under pressure, or in the absence of a leader at a critical moment, due to very bad management from the pack alpha, or simply because the rationale for banding together has passed and everyone is ready to divide the crew shares.

–

2.) If an infirmary is being used by someone with the appropriate move — the rules for healing one individual, or many sick, wounded, or dying souls, are the same. Triage (the assignment of degrees of urgency to wounds or illnesses to decide the order of treatment of a large number of patients or casualties.) seems to be presumed in the Infirmary, Battlefield Grace, and Touched by Death, but not in more intimate moves such as Healing Touch and Professional Compassion. (ANGEL:- ADDITIONAL RULES ~> INFIRMARY ~; ANGEL MOVES:- ~> Professional Compassion, Battlefield Grace, Healing Touch, Touched by Death.)

There is no reason not to allow a gang to heal (or fail harm rolls) as a single entity, normally — to simplify book keeping, and to keep the gang’s membership fresh. These are just extra mouths to feed, occasionally useful as meat-shields… right?

–

ADDENDUM:

Since Triage Protocol seems to be a presumed part of the Angel’s repertoire, this also supports the notion that a fatality in a gang… is a fatality before the angel assigns order of treatments, and no matter how long they might remain conscious… they are counted among the lost that no miracle can dissuade.

I would not count such Fatalities as being part of the sick and wounded that die under an angel’s care, for purposes of the Touched by Death move. These are, by all rights, dead before care is assigned.

A fun trip through Monsterhearts with the crew at ONE SHOT Podcast.

Really enjoy how they did the better idea of starting on season 2, episode 1 than starting in season 1. As in many sci-fi/supernatural shows, season 1 is good to set the stage but season 2 is where the cast gets to have fun with the story/characters now that the introductions are mostly out of the way.

Great job to everyone in this & would love to hear more actual plays of Monsterhearts or other similar AW systems.

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

Originally shared by Adrian Thoen

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.
