About the adventure
It is latter half of the 20th century and the world is locked in the Cold War. It is a time of great advancement and great danger as world powers look to get any edge over their enemies as they delve into supernatural powers and advanced science. Above it all is the nefarious agency CYCLOPS, which maintains a stranglehold over the world and seeks to control it for their own ends. The only opposition to CYCLOPS is the Freelance Infantry Strike Team or FIST. FIST is a mercenary company composed of all manner of paranormal operatives willing to do the missions that nobody can (or wants) to do. FIST does these dangerous missions not to get paid, but to make the world a better place. In FIST, you will be playing paranormal mercenaries doing dangerous missions in an alternate reality Cold War filled with magic and super-science. Lethality is high, but your special traits and teamwork might be enough to complete the mission. Creating an operative is easy, just pick or randomly roll two out of 216 traits that provide special abilities, equipment, and stat bonuses. Media touchstones: Metal Gear Solid, GI Joe, The A-Team.

About me
My name is Ben and I've been GMing TTRPGs for over a decade now. I'm a regular cast member of Technical Difficulties Gaming Podcast (https://www.technicaldifficultiespod.com/). My preferred systems are Powered by the Apocalypse (Blades in the Dark, Monster of the Week, FIST), d100 horror (Mothership, Call of Cthulhu, Unknown Armies), and GUMSHOE (Fear Itself, Night's Black Agents, Trail of Cthulhu). I also love trying small story games that I find on itch.io. I'm LGBTQA+ friendly and I don't accept any Nazi shit at my table.

Creating your character
We'll roll up the characters right before we begin the scenario. It's pretty fast to make character.

Preparing for the session
I'll send an invite to the discord channel where we'll be playing the game.
