I’m a little confused: on page 3 it’s said that supers are not oppressed, but on the next page it’s written that they’re an oppressed minority group. Which one is it?
oh! The title on page 3 is a flavor thing. In the original Firebrands game, it has a section like that titled “The Bantral System is not at war” but then you read the text underneath and you’re like… wait it definitely IS at war. Just not “officially.” I wanted to do the same. According to any official source in this world, supers are not oppressed. But they absolutely ARE oppressed—no one in power would ever admit it though.
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 ❤️
