'sabot/auteur' and their surnames was a good bit. i think FIST Gets Taken Out At The Ballgame is a great conceit, and though it might have been a jam-hastened decision i actually really like the bullet-point lists of descriptive stuff for the different areas. i couldn't make heads or tails of the roll in that 'surveillance' insert, and i think the tri-column landscape layout might be unsuitable for something longer than a tri-fold, especially with a single monochromatic font and no images. that aside, i thought this was clever, well-executed conceptually, and would make for a fun mission (and a great excuse to slow down some organ music for ambience). not sure about the protagonist of baseball assertion, but i'll let it slide if we can agree that the yankees or the dodgers are the antagonists.
Using WAR DICE as a method to cause certain events in the mission is just such an awesome concept. I'm always a fan of taking a player resource like WAR DICE and spinning it to do something different than its usual function. Great work!
aaaaaaah hahaha this whoops ass. A bunch of the missions in this jam have sections that feel very Hitman - this one is no exception. Very cool stuff tracking a whistleblower from a particular pacific northwest aerospace company lol
Machinations abound. Two factions with their own goals and lots of character. I especially like the WAR DIE trick to set off a distraction - VERY Hitman :)
Perfectly fits the "No Funny Business" theme, cool action too.
Started reading because the title was intriguing and enjoyed every bit of it!
Very thorough scenario. Love all the moving pieces, love the Hot Dog Man.
A good mission involving "friends" (no, in this kind of things there aren't friends XD)
I like the setting and the idea of a cat-and-mouse chase between multiple agencies.
I also quite like the concept of 2 Cold War allies being the principal antagonists; it makes for an unusual setup.

Love the theme and setting! Being able to spend a WAR DIE to cause a home run is GREAT, and it also has a mechanical element to provide you cover from the fireworks: genius.
This is a tension scenario where the players are the outsider third party to a contest between France and the US to nab the same guy. Small cast of characters, lots of connected areas for a fun cat-and-mouse game.
