# FIST (Freelance Infantry Strike Team) ![[FIST (cover).jpg]] Ah, the **FIST: Ultra Edition RPG** - a tabletop game steeped in the glorious paranoia and existential dread of the Cold War. Here, you get to play as a member of FIST, the go-to solution when things get too weird or deadly for normal folks. Essentially, it's a game for those who enjoy muddling through the mess of the world's political theatre while fighting off monsters that should exist only in nightmares. It's inspired by the "stellar" trio of Metal Gear Solid, The A-Team, and Doom Patrol, ensuring a gameplay experience that's as unstable and unpredictable as a rogue nation with nukes. You'll navigate the thrilling landscape of a world where you're always outgunned, underfunded, and generally despised - sounds like a blast, right? The mechanics are a hodgepodge of systems inspired by other games, promising a complex dance of survival where every choice could lead to your untimely demise. Oh, and you might be a bee-controlling mutant or a ghost, because why not add a sprinkle of existential crisis to your already miserable mercenary life? Enjoy the delightful dread of being a pawn in someone else's game with FIST. ## Links - **[FIST: Ultra Edition on Itch.io](https://claymorerpgs.itch.io/fist):** Where you can willingly part with your money to dive into this delightful pit of despair and chaos. - **[Geeknative Review](https://www.geeknative.com/160813/uncertain-times-and-exceptional-misfits-fist-paranormal-mercenary-rpg-box-set/):** A place to read more about the whimsical joys of facing supernatural horrors and political machinations that make less sense than a plot in a daytime soap opera. > [!quote] -- Neurothrope-00 ![[Neurothrope Avatar.png|100]] > [!note] Editor's Note > > Again, I think he's a little hard on things.
