I Am Furious (Pink)

This is the story of how you became their monster.

I Am Furious (Pink) is a dramatic tabletop roleplaying game that takes you through the events of one terrible day and then—reborn with the power of a goddess—retraces your story so you can unleash vengeance or bestow mercy on those who did you wrong.

At its most fantastic, the game may resemble a big-budget superhero franchise, where you transform into a black-winged Fury with a glowing blade and strike down your enemies. However, to reach that peak you start with smaller scenes like escaping a prison, avenging a murder, restoring a lost treasure, or more realistic play exploring the darker sides of your family, romantic, business, or other relationships.

The Rules: The game includes six character stats, as well as edges, hindrances, gear, and powers, but is primarily a freeform game for experienced players who enjoy heavily narrative games, often without a GameMaster. The rules assume that players take turns improvising the scenes for other characters, building the setting and playing the Opposition—though you can designate a GM if that’s something your group prefers. You should read through the entire game before playing, but otherwise there’s not really any ‘game prep’. It’s intentionally minimalistic, light on rules and guidance. 

The Settings: The base setting is a near-future urban sprawl, but other settings (western, noir, medieval, and more) are included, along with examples of appropriate gear. You can easily set your game in other worlds and times as well, all without modifying the basic rules!

Themes: This game welcomes all players, with an obvious empathy for persons who have experienced a life-changing transition revolving around their gender, sex, body, and/or relationships. In fact, this game was partly inspired by I Am Curious (Yellow), a controversial 1967 Swedish film about a young woman attempting to understand the social and political conditions around her while exploring her own sexual identity.

Content: This game is a complete narrative tabletop rpg contained in a digest-sized (5.5 inch x 8.5 inch) format of a compact 26 pages, bookmarked and featuring alternate text for image accessibility. Your download also includes downloadable character and opposition scene sheets, plus three plain-text editions (dyslexic-friendly, basic sans-serif, and epub).
