Greetings soldiers. I'm excited to add one bright moment to another day of Sixauran hell by announcing the winners of PLANET FIST JAM, and letting you know about the upcoming new edition made possible by all our lovely itchfunding backers!
For the last 3 months, the PLANET FIST Community Discord has been hosting public playtests of PLANET FIST: Faithless Edition, a whole new edition of the game.
If you want to playtest Faithless Edition & get a thank you included in the upcoming new book, you have 1 month left!
You can playtest with your home group by replying to this email to get a free copy of the Faithless Edition playtest book, or join the community Discord to find a public playtest to play in. If you GM a playtest, you even get a free PDF copy of all of my games!
Faithless Edition is also more than just the itchfunder-promised new mission, new battlemap, and 12 new THREATS. It also includes:
Put simply, Faithless Edition is the game I wanted PLANET FIST to be when I developed it in 3 months for FIST Ultra Jam. I can't wait for you all to Faithless Edition it when it releases later this year! And keep your eye out for a loosely jelly-related announcement near the release. Speaking of jelly-related...
Per category, our winners are:
PLANET CIS, the best named hack of all time, takes the high-death respawn mechanics of PLANET FIST & sets it in Star Wars, having you play as disposable battle droids. I got the chance to play, and the slapstick comedy made for one of the funniest TTRPG sessions I've ever been in. This incredibly impressive 40 page total conversion hack of PLANET FIST is for all intents and purposes Star Wars Battlefront II the TTRPG—and it adapts the PLANET FIST combat formula perfectly, much deserving the SKIRMISH award and itch's overall #1 jam entry!
Are you nostalgic for playing Battlefront in your friend's basement, dying, swapping classes, and capturing command posts? Roger roger, @downloadagoat has got you.
