Played this for the first time today and it absolutely slaps. We had a pretty smooth first loop but failed to clear anything and ran out of time just as we picked up the goods, and one misstep in our second loop led to a cascade of complications that took us in some wild directions. (We just wanted the radioactive relic, but hey, if getting it involves throwing a wrench in the rise of an intergalactic autocrat, who are we to complain?) Finally clearing our first few complications felt like the moment a heist movie flashes back to show you how a ruinous plot twist was really part of the plan all along--by the time we made it out on the third loop we all wished we could watch a trailer for our crew.
We loved the balance of the rules being very open-ended, but giving us just enough structure to keep us moving. I'm slated to play with another group of people in a few weeks and it's rad to know that rendition will be a totally different game! (Also, shoutout to simothys for the idea of using a big sheet of paper and a bunch of colored pens, which made notetaking a delight.) What a blast, this was cinematic and joyous and I'm already hyped for the next time.
Thank you so much for this game! I’ve been meaning to play it for months, and finally got a group together to do so. The energy change in the room as Robot Stop started playing was REAL. We were having the worst luck and got up to 5 simultaneous complications, then we rolled to clear The Mark, and the way everyone yelled seeing an 11 was WILD. All in all, this was a fantastic game, and I will be playing it again. So many thanks!!
We got a huge sheet of paper on the table and gave everyone a different colored pen, which really added to it. Everyone was writing their relationships to everyone on the paper, and there’s so many doodles. I’m definitely keeping the paper. (And we even used a cyberpunk themed tarot deck!)
Amazing idea for a ttrpg, I got a community copy and had a blast playing it. The only "issue" we've run into is that we've done everything for each loop before the timer ran out, but that's really not a problem. It gives me a reason to play it again but with a shorter album :)
this idea sounds groundbreaking and i'll be sure to share it with everyone i know. so excited to play it with my partner. thank you so much for the community copy!
Thanks for community copy! I've been searching on some fun thing to do with my friends, but I'm currently (due to actions of some madman that took control in our country and made everyone else hate us) unable to purchase anything online whatsoever. Once I'm out of there I hope I'll be able to purchase a copy normally, with a tip
Now my job is to convince my friends to give it a try, because it looks so damn cool :)
We haven't gotten a chance to play this, yet, but we wanted to thank you for including community copies for folks like us who are on super hard times right now. It means a lot to see that in every day life. (:
That being said, it looks really fun and we can't wait to try it out (if we find people to play with lol)
Played this with my mom and sister yesterday. We cleared it in two loops, our dice LOVED US! It was such a blast, coming up with what all the cards meant and roleplaying the team and all the NPCs. It went in a completely wild direction from what we'd planned, which only got us laughing nearly uncontrollably. Thank you for such a fun game!

I like this game but I cannot pay for it, could you please make some community copies?I really want to try this!!!!!!!!
THANKS
hey!! i hadn't noticed that the community copies had run out, i just re-upped them!
I played through in a group of 5 friends and it was so fun! We almost cleared the first loop, then failed three times in the second...
Also, I made a Google Sheet template for running Time To Drop online, if you want to take a look. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1jB0dKWl7q0GJ5OzvkdJI2ulUDKzOVuIDvsdSuzW2..
Woah, this is rad! Do you have a twitter or homepage I can credit? I'd love to give this a shoutout on my twitter
My twitter is @rau_derek if you want to post credit. Thanks so much! I put a lot of work into making it look nice
We playtested the 1.2 rules during the Moon Landing charity stream and it was an incredible game! Here's part 1 of that actual play.
yoooo this rules!! i’m glad you had a blast!
