First draft of the character sheet!
Everything is die types, here. Grab one for the stat, grab a risk die, add gear, etc., roll, trying to meet/beat the max value of the risk die.
Aspects for flavor/rerolling, strands of fate are the damage track, pentagram with the body parts for mutations.

Liberal parties in the US & UK are becoming more and more reactionary, conservative parties are openly fascist, and instead of going "Maybe we should think about socialism", so many people are just hoping that if 10,000 things go exactly right, the nice capitalists will be able to fix everything

Work in progress title for my playtest on Saturday.
I read an article yesterday which pointed out that Jurassic Park premiered seven months after Dracula.

I can't think of any movie that's been more vindicated over time. Just rewatched it last night and I'm still finding new little touches everywhere.
