In the year 1999, a brilliant meteorite plummeted to earth from space. Pursued by the evil Queen Feebyl, this falling star was not a rock; rather, the shining soul of Swoler Moon, Empress of the Crystal Gym. Sent to the present from 1,000 years in the future to escape Feebyl’s clutches, the soul takes residence in a clumsy, ditzy, unassuming high-school girl. This special girl, together with a group of close friends (ed. note - who unexpectedly, also turn out to be Swoler Scouts), is thrust into a battle for the future of the Moon Queendom.
LIFTS: Powered by Your ABpocalypse Edition's uses the Powered by Your ABpocalypse system to introduce you to the 1600-word In the Name of the Moon, I Will Punish My Abs! a game about transforming magical girls, the problems they overcome, the weights they lift, and the evils they defeat. Everything you need to know about playing LIFTS: Powered by Your ABpocalypse is contained in this game.
About the game
LIFTS: Powered by Your ABpocalypse Edition is the 64-page blockbuster sequel to LIFTS: Ultimate Pump Edition - the role-playing game about becoming and being swole.
Like its predecessor, the muscliest ZineQuest game of 2019, LIFTS: Powered by Your ABpocalypse Edition lets you throw your weak, puny dice in the corner -- the resolution mechanic is your muscles!
How this works
This is a game for about five players (though you can play it with more or fewer). The strongest player is the Muscle Master, who runs the game, describing situations and people.
When you disagree with the Muscle Master about something happening in the game, you’ve engaged in a conflict. Depending on the type of conflict you're involved in, you and the Muscle Master will engage in a physical competition. LIFTS: Powered by Your ABpocalypse Edition features all new mechanics -- the ABpocalypse Engine -- that emphasizes self-improvement, perseverance, and rockin' abs!
This might seem intimidating at first, but it’s a game you can play no matter your physical ability. In fact, progression is built right in: the more you play games based on LIFTS: Powered by Your ABpocalypse Edition, the better at it you’ll become!
But wait, there's more!
In addition to letting you play as the Swoler Scouts, this zine is jam-packed with supplements that expose your group to different aspects of exercise and healthy living! Each supplement riffs off of a popular RPG, expanding on the base LIFTS: Powered by Your ABpocalypse Edition system to introduce a different aspect of fitness-building and healthy living through new mechanics, settings, and adventure prompts!

You are not alive and agents of the Juice Bar want you dead. You must escape. Unlock the secret of the New Brawn. Transform yourself.
- Quadfinder: Literally no adventuring experience is complete without the (spin off) of the grand old dame of roleplaying games. Take on the role of a heroic fighter, rogue, warlord, or wizard and do battles with goblins, orcs, Lookitmes(tm), dragons, and dungeons.
