Thank you so much! Really appreciate the kind thoughts and the thorough input. And agreed on front-loading the non-violent bit of the rules; I'll put that in the hopper for the inevitable v1.1.

This was one of my favorite games to watch evolve in Discord. The theme and humor is just delightful and instantly pulled me in. Then you've added layout and artwork that fit perfectly, mechanics that are simple and fit the theme perfectly, characters that are distinct, delightful, and have their own freaking win conditions, and a set of NPCs/locations that are far more evocative than the word count would imply.
It's annoyingly good. Really well done, but jeez, stop making the rest of us look bad!
This is a really neat toolkit that I think could be used to set up a bunch of cool, cross-genre stories. I'll echo the comments below on wishing there were more tools for scenario creation, and even one or two examples would be fantastic. But you've added some fun stuff to the base engine and I think the game has legs! Nicely done.
It's amazing how much more that intro paragraph adds to pull you into the game than the title and front page! I did not expect Versailles and fractured reality as setting elements at all, and I wish there was a way to make them more obvious/apparent from the get-go, because it's exactly the sort of deranged amalgam that I love to run for my players. I hope you keep evolving this!
If I say that the theming is delicious, I'll probably regret it later. But it's excellent and super evocative. And having a place on the character sheets to show how players are allocating their dice is a really clever addition. I hope you continue to evolve the layout and release a new version! I'd definitely play it.

* Known Universe
The FTL Punk festival is a gathering of the best* punk bands from across the known universe, performing free, all-ages shows across a few ramshackle stages just for the joy of it. This cycle’s festival just so happens to be taking place on Dregulon IV, a world which has completely outlawed punk of all sorts – music, fashion, and especially attitude. It’s a delicious combination that no properly righteous punk would dream of missing.
The plan was for your band to touch down near the festival, soak in the scene for a day or so, and then put on a hell of show. The reality is that your tour bus is crash-landing in the wilderness of the planet, and you'll have to hoof it across a series of hostile environments in order to make it to the stage on time.
This game was created for the Havoc Engine Jam. If you played and enjoyed Eat the Reich, and/or if you have affection for punk rock, punk culture, or punk people, I think you'll enjoy this one.
