Sorry for getting unnecessarily lofty with it. End of the day, I don't think I'm doing anything hugely important beyond being vulnerable about being a communist lol. Anyway Kill The Bastards is going to have an expansion about dinosaurs BYE

I believe in people. I believe we can do what has to be done to save us. Never give up. You have to live.

Kill The Bastards takes place in a world where, despite it all, it's not too late. It's a game about being the vanguard of change. It's important to me, because I don't think it's too late for us either. Here in the imperial core. Everywhere else in the world.

I've been wondering what my overall goal is with making it. What it means as a text. Obviously the big thing is 'Fuck the USA'. I think there's more than that, though. I believe that violence is an unavoidable part of necessary political change. I'm not afraid to say that.

Kill The Bastards is a game. It's something for people to have fun. It's also a deeply personal political statement. These two things are not in opposition, to me. Eventually I do plan to distribute the game, probably on itch dot io. Whether I charge for it is another matter. I probably won't.

The new project is, currently, being called ‘ALPHA AND OMEGA’. If you know you know.

This was brief, but thanks for reading! I'm hoping after this next playtest I can lock it in enough that I could start sharing some more extensive excerpts, perhaps even open things up to invite playtesting! We'll see.

Ideally, you will do this six times. Play ends when you have killed the bastards.

And at the very end of it all, once every obstacle is gone and the fight is over, you kill the bastard despot who oversaw it all.

Then, you move on and do it again.

- The Assassination phase, an even faster paced tactical combat where you focus on positioning, clever usage of actions, and killing them back.

Infiltration is tense and fast paced, as you give everything you have to get past the defenses and obstacles laid out by the City-State, until you reach the despots bastion and begin -

Travel and Barter is roleplay heavy and focuses on gear and weapon management, and ends out on a scene around the campfire where you all load your magazines, make quiet conversation, and prepare for the fight to come.

Kill The Bastards takes place over three phases of play; Travel and Barter, Infiltration, and Assassination.
