A RUN AND GUN TABLETOP ROLEPLAYING GAME
In the Maju, life is shorter than a dynamite fuse!
DESIGNED, WRITTEN, AND ILLUSTRATED BY LUCA NEGRI, Terror Target Gemini is a OSR tabletop roleplaying game where you play Runners, professional adventurers hired for dangerous tasks (deliveries, arrests, rescue missions, assassinations) in the savage lands known as the Maju. One player takes the role of the Narrator, defining and describing interesting locations, portraying their inhabitants, running combat and narrating how the world changes as you play.
Playing requires a set of polyhedral dice (including d6 d8, d10, d12, d20).
Inspired by the likes of SandLand, The Good the Bad and the Weird, Mad Max, Progear, Lupin III, Trigun, Tekkon Kinkreet, and Linda3, TERROR TARGET GEMINI is a hyper-violent, anachronistic western adventure, living out a colorful, zany fantasy atmosphere with action manga overtones populated by demonic gunslingers and martial arts witches.
Runners take on all manner of dangerous jobs, and their License documents their ability to carry them out.
Successful jobs lead to Wèn, and Wèn lead to Stars. Stars mean Runners can acquire more skills, influence, and reputation.
Every self-respecting Runner aims to stock up on cash and scale the ranks by gaining Stars. That’s only possible when working as a team: lone wolves rarely succeed, especially on tougher missions.
Typical Runner work includes delivering or picking up rare objects, investigating mysteries, hunting monsters… Wanted criminals also have large bounties on their heads, and the right collector will pay a fortune for reclaimed treasures.
TERROR TARGET GEMINI includes rules for creating your own runners (or starting with pregenerated characters!), arming them and throwing them into the fray against a whole repertoire of wanted men, background on the Maju and an in-depth guide to the city of Djar-Zagazig, as well as two complete adventures (Don’t Look Back and The Wolves of Alkharab) and plenty of guidance for making your encounters in the hex maps ever more imaginative.
Terror Target Gemini is available through DriveThruRPG in PDF.
