Loner Supplement by Zotiquest Games
The hero slides under the closing door. Tumbles forward. Springs up. And lands a kick that sends an enemy through a window.
No physics. No hesitation. Just pure cinematic magic.
Loner: Cinematic Action is a companion guide that turns up Loner’s volume to full throttle — for kung fu flicks, superhero spectacles, heist capers, and over-the-top action fantasies. Everything you love about Loner is still here: the Oracle, the tags, the minimalist friction-free flow. This book just gives it a shot of adrenaline.
Inside you’ll find:
- Action Points — 3 per conflict. Spend them to gain an edge, cancel a failure, erase a consequence, or attempt the flat-out impossible.
- The Stunt System — describe it with flair, roll the Oracle, win spectacularly (or fail spectacularly).
- Chase Mechanics — rooftops, markets, deep space. Lightweight pursuit rules that keep the story moving and the tension alive.
- Momentum & Pacing — tools for building cinematic escalation, managing intensity, and knowing exactly when to slam the brakes.
- Genre Adaptations — kung fu, superhero, spy, heist, sci-fi, fantasy. Same mechanics, different flavors.
None of it is mandatory. Bolt on what you need, ignore the rest. The Oracle is still in charge.
Can I do that?
Hell yeah. Roll and find out.
Loner: Cinematic Action is available through DriveThruRPG in PDF.
