F#ck 'Em Up

Things are f-- . . . messed up. Really messed up. Violence is everywhere. Order is nowhere. The only good people are the ones without weapons. You’re not a good person. You have a weapon . . . well, probably more than one. Or maybe you’re the weapon. It doesn’t matter: you’re not a good person but you are out there helping those that are. Why are you doing that?

Who the heck knows? Do you? Probably not.

So, there you are—you and your crew—all alone against the world.

In F#ck ‘Em Up, you play part of a crew opposing the status quo and protecting the innocents from the purveyors of brutality. Characters need to work together to gain the greatest advantage. The violence they apply can be physical, mental, or social as they seek to evoke change. There is no specific setting, but the struggle is against an oppressive status quo in support of those who are doing no harm.

This system requires cooperation at the table and a shared goal of telling a great story. It is the premise of SEP systems that the game experience should be fun for everyone and no player should be made uncomfortable unless that is a part of the experience of which they were informed and to which they agree. Shared respect and consideration among all participants are key to achieving a satisfying and enjoyable game for everyone at the table. If you disagree, this system and SEP games more widely are not going to meet your expectations or complement your play style.
