Dirtbags! A new sci-fi shooter by The Dungeon's Key
Live on Kickstarter January 28th for #ZineQuest
Tired of breaking your back plowing the fields of New-Terra, or sweating out your remaining days in the Energizer™ fume huts dirtside for little to no creds? You deserve a second chance!
What is Dirtbags!
Dirtbags! is a sci-fi shooter RPG designed from the ground up to be flexible, cinematic, and fast-paced. It's rules-lite and combat heavy, putting character agency and tactics directly into the players hands.
- Three core ability scores.
- Two D6 dice pools, one for taking actions, the other for ammunition.
- Five roles.
- Fast-paced, dynamic combat.
In Dirtbags!, you play the role of a convict in a corporate-run dystopian world, coerced into the Military Foundation’s Rehabilitation Incentive Program (R.I.P.) with the promise of freedom and reintegration. Take on distant alien bug infestations, scab pirates, go on suicidal salvage missions, and anything else the Corporate Echelon demands.

Inspiration and Themes
Dirtbags! draws inspiration from countless sources, including Starship Troopers, Tank Girl, Aliens, and more. While the game serves as satire critiquing corporate greed and capitalism, it also explores mature themes, such as class systems, private prisons, internment, incarceration, drug use, mental health, and death, without intending to diminish the real-world severity of these issues.
Get razed, Dirtbag! We'll see you in the R.I.P.
