The Rapid and the Righteous 2: 2 RAPID 2 RIGHTEOUS
This game is a sequel to 2016's THE RAPID AND THE RIGHTEOUS, and I think it's an indication of how far I've come as a designer. Because back in 2016 I was trying to write a proper RPG in cut-down form with GM advice and everything, and in 2024 I've written a dumb fucking shitpost which uses little wind-up toy cars as a resolution mechanic. I'm so proud of it.
It all began on the RRD public Discord, where our Professional Friendly Person Matt Sanders posted some tat and posed a question:
I will admit that BEST FRIEND TIGERCYCLE is a far better game. Probably my finest work. But wind-up animal-themed toy motorcycles are quite hard to come by, and the theme is maybe a little esoteric, so I compromised on my vision. It's a Fast and Furious game now.
(For the last six months I have been trying to write a F&F game which takes place during the trailers of the first, fifth and tenth film in your own world-famous street racing espionage film series. I really want to explore the way that the franchise just went completely off the fucking rails, but I can't come up with a clever enough resolution mechanic to get the play group through three films in a single session. I fear it may be beyond me.)

Physical edition patrons - over the next month I'll do the back pages for this and the other most two recent games (this one has a hacking minigame which involves you doing today's Wordle) so you should get 'em during March or thereabouts.
Stay beautiful,
