holy tiny font! love the art, the lava flow clock is a nice way to add urgency and make the mission dynamic, and i'm always down for big island representation and some bloodstained aloha shirts. weresharks and semi-immortals aren't quite on theme for "NO FUNNY BUSINESS", but the chopper stuff definitely is--a lot of air combat in this jam! great descriptive language throughout and some fun set pieces to imagine. though i'm definitely a pamphlet hound, i think this would be a lot more referee-friendly in a half-page format, and i'm not even sure my printer could accurately reproduce text this small... but if i keep it zoomed, this would make for a great time for vtt with my buddies on Oahu.

Appreciate the feedback!  I had a few printed to give out to friends and such.  I think I'll increase the line weight on an updated version. We set out to give ourselves the challenge of a tri-fold and make it work. I disagree about it not being on theme. The FIST agents have totally insane traits most of the time, so a few CROs from CYCLOPS would also have crazy powers even if everything else is more grounded. I'll definitely do another pass and update the print version in the coming months to improve readability!

A great trifold with cool style and fun mechanics fit neatly in a small package.

Nice and simple with awesome action sequence potential.

This one's very silly, I love it! The "You Must Whip It" description had me cackling that shit is so funny to see in a stat block. Also the lava flow is a really fun gimmick and timer! Fun vibes all around

ah trifold, my love!

A neat extraction mission with a cool time-based complication - get out before the lava makes your objectives impossible. 

I did have a little trouble understanding exactly what happens if the lava goes into the tube - does it just flood the tube in that area, or all areas downhill? Does the lava keep flowing across the surface level as well?

That being said, very cool. Great job at creating multiple sources of pressure to get to SILVERFISH quickly.

Ran out of room to really hammer out the details of that, so Referee's choice. The intent was if the flow hits an area with a tube entrance it does flood the tube without having to roll to deviate the path. When it hits the sea a new flow is started. There's nothing to say you couldn't have it flood the tube AND continue on the surface though. A pacing choice. Thanks much for the feedback!

Pretty cool!

I like the formatting and the artwork!

It would make a great one-shot.

Manages to fit so many fun things into one little pamphlet. An erupting volcano with unique time-dependent rules, fun NPCs and vehicle combat? Sign me up.

Outrun lava, a gunship and the US army as you race to kidnap a rival operative in this clean one-pager.
