How far would you go to get revenge? One Shot is a two-player game of sacrifice and vengeance. One player portrays The Shooter: You have been wronged… driven to the ends of yourself and left with only one goal: to get even. Permanently. The other player embodies The Forces: You enable the Shooter, making sure that the shot can be taken… for a price. Vengeance isn't clean. To be able to take the shot, sacrifices must be made. Family, friends, those who would deter the Shooter… make them turn away. But the chance is yours. Vengeful redemption gleaming like a single bullet in the stark lamplight. So what are you waiting for? You've got one shot. Take it. One Shot is by Tracy Barnett and is available here https://theothertracy.itch.io/one-shot

https://therpgacademy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/Show-and-Tell-65-Tracy-Barnett.mp3 Hello and welcome to a bonus Show and Tell, the podcast series from The RPG Academy where we bring on a guest and talk about something cool. In this episode our guest is Tracy Barnett (@TheOtherTracy) and the something cool is several things they are working on. Iron Edda is a recently released RPG using a modified version of Fate Accelerated (FAE) In which players take on the role of dwarven warriors who ride inside the skeletons of dead giants like their own personal mech suits. Valkyries is a new and in-development game by Tracy where the Valkyries were put into stasis in preparation for a galactic war but were never called upon and after the war forgotten. Now it's millennia later and war is over and peace reigns when they are returned and struggle to find a place in a world that does not need their talents. Tracy also works with Games on Demand and is heading up a Games on Demand program at this year's AcadeCon.  You can support Tracy via patreon at Patreon.Com/TracyBarnett  .
