This book contains graphic violence, cannibalism, food addiction,
mutation, hoarding, cruelty to robots, police turned into oil-
zombies, and a full-on House of Leaves situation. It’s probably a
lot worse than it sounds.

Running a One-Shot Adventure
The goal of an introductory one-shot, demo, or con game is not
to follow the rules exactly, or strictly adhere to every event of a
written scenario. The goal is just to get people into the game.
Even the special beginner one-shot adventures in this book are
simply tools to help get you started and show brand new players
just how fun a game of FIST RPG can be.

BREAK THE RULES! SCRAP THE PLANS!

If the adventure says the boss is locked behind an impenetrable
door that can only be opened with a blue keycard, and the
players are busy hunting down some red-herring, feel free to
stuff that fish full of blue keycards. If time is running short, turn
that sucker into a blue keycard piñata.

CUT THE MIDDLE, DON’T RUSH THE END

If you’re working with a time limit, never rush the climactic
showdown. Instead, make note of when the final hour
approaches, and switch into end-game mode. That blue keycard
boss? Maybe he gets sick of waiting in his lair, hijacks a mech
and personally crashes the hero’s party.

GIVE EACH PLAYER A FINAL SPOTLIGHT MOMENT

At the end of the session, ask each player how their character
celebrates or spends their time until the next adventure. This
gives everyone a guaranteed moment to shine, along with an
opportunity to examine at any loose plot threads.

Introducing Players to FIST RPG
There are a few things new players should know, especially if
they’re used to other dragon fantasy tabletop roleplaying games.

FIST IS HIGH POWERED

With the right combination of Traits, a starting FIST character will
be able to pull off stunts that only a high-level wizard could
accomplish in other games. And it’s important for you to know
this too–don’t hold too tightly to your plans when players can
alter reality on a whim.

FIST IS ALSO DEADLY

Most PCs will start with around 6 HP. A janitor with a revolver
deals 1d6 damage (DMG). Meaning the first civilian guard with a
pistol who spots them breaking into the complex has a 1-in-6
chance of dropping them in a single hit. Try to set expectations,
so players will know what they’re in for. Have a stack of Pre-
Generated characters handy to drop in as emergency
replacements the moment it makes sense. (Depending on how
you run the game, boss fights might be a no-go for new recruits.)

THERE IS MORE TO LIFE THAN KILLING

Encourage players to think laterally. Going in guns blazing
shouldn't always be the play. Sneaking past guards, hacking
security systems, wearing disguises, and talking your way out of
a fight not only gives them more to do than shoot, it gives less
combat-oriented ops a chance to shine. Stealth and social
engineering aren’t just fun things to do, they’re a chance for
survival against overwhelming odds.

MOOKS, MINIONS & GOONS
For a more cinematic take on combat, with heroes mowing down
wave after wave of enemies, replace standard low-level bad guys
like security guards with the minion statblock. Minions make for
pulpy action. They’re perfect cannon fodder that make
paranormal entities and augmented operatives feel that more
dangerous compared to the average citizen or terrible-aim
stormtrooper.

 Minion: 1 HP, 0 Armor, 1 DMG (melee or ranged)

Emergency Partial Success Chart
A result of 7-9 is a partial success. But... what does that mean?
Oh, God, what does it mean?! Most of the time, you can rely on
context: The player gets what they want, but with some new
problem introduced. They pick the lock, but it sets off a hidden
alarm; they convince the security guard to allow them entry, but
only if they tag along.

During combat, those partial successes can really pile up, leaving
your referee brain exhausted and drained of nutrients.
Flummoxed? Grab 2d6 and roll the chart below.

d66 Emergency Partial Success Table

1 Take Damage (1-2 You hit them, they hit back; 3-4
You’re hit by a third party; 5-6 You suffer mild
environmental damage, 1 or 2 DMG)
2 Bad Position (1-2 You’re forced closer to a ledge; 3-4
Enemy takes the high ground; 5-6 Exposed to a new
hazard or foe)
3 Endanger Others (1-2 Your actions leave others
exposed to danger; 3-4 You’re unable to defend
someone who needs defending; 5-6 Ally somehow
struck with some light friendly fire, 1 or 2 DMG)
4 New Threats (1-2 You trigger an alarm, alerting new
enemies; 3-4 New enemies approach, and they’re right
around the corner; 5-6 Bad news! A dangerous new
enemy immediately drops into battle.)
5 Temporary Setback (1-2 Gun jams, sword knocked out
of hand, etc.; 3-4 Enemy slips behind cover, hiding out
of sight; 5-6 Strange phenomena interfere with your
powers.)
6 Become Targeted (1-2 Your badass attack has made
you the target of every enemy within in ten miles; 3-4 A
faceless goon swears to avenge the life of a fellow fallen
faceless goon; 5-6 A powerful foe decided to make
things personal.)

These results are meant to inspire, not be taken literally. If the roll
results in a [2] and [1], but there’s no ledge in sight, the character
could also be forced near a downed power line, pit of lava, over-
affectionate poodle, etc.

Scenario 01: ABANDON

MISSION BRIEF (READ ALOUD OR PARAPHRASE)

November, 1984. Abandon, Inc. promised America's wealthiest
citizens their own mansions on Mars. Just before launch,
something went horribly wrong. FIST has been hired by the
Burchill Family to retrieve their eldest son, Andrew Burchill,
before he is killed or blasted into space.

Your goals are as follows:

1. Infiltrate the Abandon, Inc. Launch Complex.
2. Gain entry to the launch dome. You’ll need 3/5 keycards to
enter. Each additional keycard disables one SM-401 mecha.
3. Prevent Andrew Burchill from leaving the planet. If the rocket
launches, the deal is off.

After crossing a freeway that separates the haves from the have-
nots, the FIST Ops are dropped off at the far end of the complex.
The rocket will launch automatically. You have one hour.

59:59, 59:58, 59:57...

THE FULL STORY
• November 1984. On the heels of the worst recession since
WWII, America's obnoxiously wealthy plan to hop a rocket and
escape to Abandon, Inc.’s secret Martian colony, where they’ll
live a life of luxury, tended to by robots. (“The one thing angry
mobs of poor people can't do is cross the vast gulfs of space!”)
• Just before launch, a medical procedure designed to ease the
psychological burden of leaving Earth behind goes horribly
wrong, turning them into Untethered, cannibalistic murderers.
• Dr. Farkas tested the procedure on volunteer college kids,
the homeless, even himself – but the good doctor never
imagined what untethering someone from their worldly ties
would do to someone who already exists so far above the
hierarchy of needs that the pyramid looks like a distant planet.

SECRETS & CLUES: DECENTRALIZED INFO DUMPS

Share this information with players whenever the opportunity
arises, rewarding clever roleplay, investigation, and dumb luck.

• Project Freeway: The vastness of space separate haves from

the have-nots. Mars is the ultimate gated community.
• Untethering: A form of techno-pharmacological conditioning
designed to sever earthly ties and make life off-planet palatable.
• Failure: Something went horribly wrong. The millionaires who
were Untethered went berserk, slaughtering complex staff.
• The Untethered: Some are mass murderers, others
calculating killers. Named NPCs like Oliver Cooper tend to pose
as helpless victims, waiting for the perfect moment to strike.
• Andrew Burchill is Untethered. He's not actually scared; he's
trying to lure victims to use as slaves. Robots are no fun!
• Betty Rhodes didn't eat the cake. On a fad diet, she drank
her own diet tab soda, watched everyone die.
• Dr. Farkas exposed himself to Untether, the first human test
subject. As a well-connected scientist with infinite funding, he did
not suffer the full effects. Even so, he thinks it’s wonderful.
Everyone should be Untethered.

his wife, Judy Mason, 52.
• Three months ago, Joseph bought a bronze statue of a
minotaur in an estate sale. After Judy died in a strange accident,

So, starting from his study, he built a labyrinth to contain the
creature.
• Fearing for his father, Anthony Mason contacted The

parents’ home.

LOCATIONS
The house is a spontaneously generated labyrinth of cluttered
corridors and rooms stacked with strange objects. It is spatially
perverse, an affront to known architecture and interior design.
FIST must “clear” five rooms before they can reach Joseph
Theodore Mason and The Minotaur. Whatever that means is up
to you. Fill rooms with NPCs, enemies, hazards and traps as you
like. Trust your instincts. Become the pacing. There is no wrong.
Everything is wrong. Where was I? Where are we?

through natural means. If anyone touches the minotaur statue,
The Minotaur makes an appearance, attempting to kill everyone
but Joseph. Once The Minotaur is defeated, the house enemies
go inactive, escape is trivial, and Joseph awakens, thankful.

New York, USA, 1985. A secretive cabal of ice cream barons
have hired FIST to investigate a new product called The Fluff. In
just a few months, the zero-calorie non-diary edible food-stuff

Company, to investigate the factory.

Your goals are as follows:

1. Uncover proof of ill-effects Fluff may have on people’s health.
2. Learn where Fluff comes from (a fiercely guarded secret).
3. Obtain proof that The Fluff Company is breaking the law.
