Justice Velocity: Quickstart Guide $4.99

Justice Velocity: Quickstart Guide: $4.99

Justice Velocity: Quickstart Guide
Publisher: Polyhedra

The Justice Velocity: Quickstart Guide is everything you need to hop right into the action. With premade characters, streetracing, and the Hot Gems scenario, be ready to dazzle your players with all manner of explosions and action. It's a perfect introduction to the Justice Velocity universe.

What is the velocity of justice? Many say it’s difficult to quantify--that it even evades common metrics of measurement or full understanding by the rule of law. One thing’s for sure, however: you should be able to gauge it as it comes hurtling towards you. Hands grip steering wheels as rubber grips concrete. Seedy underbellies trade bullets with the law and set moral shades of gray ablaze. Napalm and nitrous are as indispensable as your ability to hack or maneuver cold machinery.

Justice Velocity is an action movie inspired tabletop role-playing game for 3+ players.

Inspired by action movies like the Fast & Furious franchise, Rush Hour, or Bad Boys and anime like Initial D--Justice Velocity puts you in the driver’s seat. It’s an exercise in collaborative storytelling that puts the stakes of a race or the fate of deadly computer viruses up to your players’ skills, abilities, and the roll of the dice. It's a fast-paced 2d6 system that's light on the rules and high on octane.

"Who wouldn't want to be an action hero? The pecs. The cars. The explosions." - Tabletop Gaming News

Justice Velocity is a game of heists, hijinks, espionage, and fast cars. The game's mechanics encourage players to push situations into overdrive with High Octane Mode and spend Juice Points on triggering wild abilities. There are also a variety of rules for conducting high speed chases, street races, and vehicular combat so that you can always keep the action rolling.

The Justice Velocity: Quickstart Guide introduces you to the archetypes essential to any action movie story:

  • The Gunner
  • The Driver
  • The Hacker
  • The Medic
  • The Mechanic
  • The Face
  • The Muscle/Martial Artist
There’s something exhilarating about sending Hot Wheels down a track into their doom. There’s something thrilling about unnecessary explosions. There’s something amazing about seeing whether or not a car can jump over the opening of a live volcano. Justice Velocity is an unapologetic, adrenaline-fueled romp which delves into the nature of exergy and machine fetishism. It pushes physics, bodies, and systems to their limits. When justice calls, sometimes it’s the gruff, meat-headed, cargo-pants-donning voice of utilitarianism that picks up the phone. This is a foray into that universe... one in which steel, muscle, and ingenuity can prevail and save the world from certain peril.
