Voxinn: A Firebrands Hack
A downloadable game
Welcome to the city of Voxinn...
Its nine boroughs are hemmed between mountains and ocean, three rings of walls surrounding and segmenting the city. The Locksdale River cuts everything in half like a knife. Highways and railways and subways pass beneath and between its towering skyscraper skyline.
Supers are a fact of life here, monitored and regulated by the ever-present DSR. Some supers are Guardians, state-sponsored heroes that protect the city—or at least the powerful within it. Others are Marauders, supposed terrorists and super supremacists who wreck havoc and claim the title “villain” with pride. Still others are Renegades, unregistered supers who aren’t affiliated with either group, simply doing their best with what they have and becoming symbols for the common folk as they do.
You are supers caught up in the complex politics and oppression in the city of Voxinn. Are you a Guardian? A Marauder? A Renegade?
Fight with your friends. Ally with your rivals. Fall in love with your enemies.
VOXINN: A FIREBRANDS HACK is a casual, one-session roleplaying game based on the Firebrands Framework by D. Vincent Baker and Meguey Baker. To play, you’ll need 3-5 players, several six-sided dice, a few hours, and a copy of this playbook for each player.

I played in a playtest (the first, I think?) and really enjoyed the interplay between the three factions in this setting, the subtle distinctions between the Marauders and Renegades gave us a ton of fun nuance to work with and we hit a lot of dramatic plot points pretty naturally.
The minigames are all solid and offer a wide spread of directions in which to take the story, and the finale minigame has some really cool texture to it with how it lets players resolve the fate of their character.
Definitely want to play this again!
It was the first playtest! Thank you so much for doing it too, your feedback absolutely shaped its current form ❤️
