About the Game

HIGH 💥 EXPLOSIVE is a minimalist TTRPG designed for super-fast games of over-the-top Eighties and Nineties action movie tropes.

The game comes as two tri-fold pamphlets (measured in 8.5" x 11" Freedom Units) with simple rules for character creation (created in sixty seconds) and the genre staples of action scenes, intrigues, and chases.

Mechanics

Featuring original rules using a fast-playing d6 dice pool mechanic similar to those seen in Freeform Universal (FU) and Blades in the Dark.

Watch this overview view for more (created during the first named iteration of the game, as the much more unwieldy "Bravado Bombast Brains + Bullets"):
