About the project:
Dirtbags! is a sci-fi shooter TTRPG where players take on the role of convicts in a corporate-run dystopian world, coerced into the Military Foundation’s Rehabilitation Incentive Program (R.I.P.) with the promise of freedom and reintegration.
Forced to endure relentless tours of duty, Dirtbags are expendable, thrown at every problem imaginable, from distant alien bug infestations and scab pirates to suicidal salvage missions, courier work, and anything else the Corporate Echelon demands.
Dirtbags! draws inspiration from countless sources, including Starship Troopers, Tank Girl, Aliens, and more. While the game serves as satire critiquing corporate greed and capitalism, it also explores mature themes, such as class systems, private prisons, internment, incarceration, drug use, mental health, and death, without intending to diminish the real-world severity of these issues.
Dirtbags! is designed from the ground up to be flexible, cinematic, and fast-paced. It’s rules-lite and combat-heavy, putting character agency and tactics directly into the players hands.
The core system revolves around managing two six-sided dice pools. The first pool is used for taking actions, while the second is used for ammunition. Roll as many or as few as you want, you’re in control!
