Good Guys Finish Last is the
Good Guys Finish Last, Comic Book Hero free-style Role-Play is designed for experienced roleplaying gamers. The game uses a Quick and Dirty System (Q&D), hence no effort has been made to explain the basic mechanics of dice rolling or player interaction. No attempt has been made to define each element to its finest part, either. Rather, the game establishes a set of guidelines for the players and the Referee to use. But it doesn’t demand adherence to the form. Things are as they seem. Players do not need to completely study the rules before play. Create characters, scan the tables, and get ready to tell stories.
Back in 1991, my view of roleplaying games was forever changed by Good Guys Finish Last™. In fact, if you want to blame any single game for turning me into the designer I am today, this is it. Another game in this style was Crimson Cutlasses, an absolute gobsmackingly good game that is long out of print.
But if you can find a copy, it will blow you away.
The fact that I even get to know the authors of these games is a feather in my cap that I lack the words to express. Honestly, publishing this edition of Good Guys is a dream come true.
Better Games made Barony, Battle Born, Crimson Cutlass, Good Guys Finish Last, Villains Finish First, and a host of other storytelling-forward games that lay the foundation for the entire indie story movement. They were just 30 years ahead of their time.
It is my pleasure to bring Good Guys Finish Last to a new audience. I hope you enjoy playing this game, as much as I did for so many years.
Little has been changed or edited from the author’s original work. Typographical errors have been fixed and some reflow has been done for clarity’s sake. Sentences have been polished or adapted to modern usage, with fragmented sentences updated. But nothing has been done to change the intent of the previous editions. The characters and adventure that appeared in the 1990 edition of Good Guys Finish Last have been moved to a downloadable PDFs.
Price: $12.45
