Double or Nothing is an rpg. Before u suspect me of shilling it, im just interested in opinions. It tells a story of Disaster Agents who investigate and try to stop Mega Disasters. Its like a rpg version of Dirty Pair. Max 3 players who run around causing Big Damage to infrastructure and things. U also play Truth or Dare and flirt with each other for points. U use d6s. Thats all i know about the system.
I tried asking for input on big purple but havent gotten any. So im Asking you guis. Is playing a female agent in ridicules scenarios anybodys thing?
Shilling is a good thing.
I've never heard of Double or Nothing. Tell us more about the system, setting and provide links to reviews or the game itself. Also, WTF does trying to stop Mega Disasters have to do with Truth or Dare or flirting? Is this based on an Anime?
Well,
the game only consists of 27 pages. I expected a bit more, but its a patreon made game i think, they are usually sparse. There are yet no reviews out there. This is the blurb:
Double or Nothing is a roleplaying game for 2 or 3 people, in which you take the role of a pair of agents who get involved in over the top disasters and have to shoot, kick, and flirt their way out, hopefully without creating too much collateral damage along the way. It is heavily based on Dirty Pair, and replicates the style and absurdity of the anime with a variety of simple and quick mechanics that will quickly lead to ever-escalating danger, and a corresponding bill for damages.
In many ways a spiritual successor to Damage Control, Double or Nothing is snappy to play and guaranteed to be ridiculous. Custom mechanics include flirting with one another for bonuses, tracking collateral damage in large monetary units, and actually, straight-up playing Truth or Dare with each other. It can be played with or without a GM, as a one-shot or a short campaign, and requires nothing but d6s and a token. It also contains a quick set of random generator tables so you can start playing within minutes.
It is also illustrated, and includes running examples throughout.
It is the Year 208X...Humanity has spread across the stars, using faster than light travel to explore their local arm of the galaxy. We have found inhabitable planets, created sprawling colonies, built automated space stations, and we push ever outward.Oh, yeah, at some point Japan took over the world with money and electronics? That always happens in these things. But also this is one of those awful libertarian cyberpunk worlds where everything is controlled by mega-corporations?Wait, you're watching the dub? I know is easier, but really it's not very good. You should watch it in the original Japanese, the subtitles are way better on the blu-ray. Come on, reading subtitles isn't that hard! Urgh, fine.So yeah, like, I guess in that case it's like, everyone speaks English and eats donuts that are 100% rice balls and we pretend not to notice. God, why do I even talk to you?Anyway, everyone's going to space to get rich. Unsurprisingly, there's constant trouble: malfunctioning AI, criminal schemes, terrorists, corporate powerplays, FTL drive accidents, natural disasters, you name it. As you might imagine, this all gets pretty expensive, so the Interstellar Business Consortium hires special agents to try and contain the damage. And of all these agents, the very best are Saeko Shimazu and Kyouko Tonguu... urgh, Sarah and Karen... better known by their codenames, Kiss and Tell. They have a special policy, unique for Disaster Agents: you can't hire just one. They're a package deal. It's double... or nothing.
So there is no real solid info on the system.
Double or Nothing is an anime inspired three player roleplaying game that creates episodic, over the top buddy cop action-comedy stories. It's primarily inspired by Dirty Pair, but has elements of Gunsmith Cats and a wide variety of odd duo action movies from the 1980s.
I have read some Adam Warren Dark Horse comics with the Dirty Pair and found them fun so this interested me.
