Ohhh man this is giving me some strong OFF (2008) vibes. Love it, gonna see if my friends may be on board to try it out.
I hadn't heard of OFF before — sounds cool, so I've got something to check out, too! :)
Oooh, there's some pretty neat stuff here! The roles in particular feel super unique.
Thanks! — I've seen (I've done) rules-light urban fantasy as "oldschool D&D with the cleric made over as a medic or something" too many times; the roles here are a very deliberate answer to that
