This Is Just To Say 

I have written

the bad communist tabletop role-playing game 

that was echoing within 

the empty chambers of my skull

and which 

you were probably hoping  

would remain safely contained  

therein 

Forgive me

you can fly a space plane

and it would not let me rest

until I had released it upon the world

Specifically I wrote this in like 2018 and just did the last 10% right now and have been persuaded—against my better judgement and thanks to the nefarious denizens of the OSR discord—to start a blog and it seemed like a good first post.

You can get it here on Google Drive.

I have run exactly one abortive play-testing campaign using this game and it was fun as hell.

EDIT: If you've come here looking for fun things to steal, it has:

• Communism!
• A two-axis alignment system with mechanical effects!
• Classes that auto-succeed at things as their only ability!
• Vehicle rules!
• A simple system for managing aerial dogfighting!
• A system to create stats for pre-jet aircraft with just the input available from wikipedia!
