Your character
Your character is an extreme
street luger. He vaguely re-
sembles Vin Diesel. Pick three
characteristics (build, color-
ing, haircut, attitude, eyes,
hands, voice) in which your
character resembles Vin Die-
sel. In all other ways, he does
not resemble Vin Diesel at all.
You get to say how that works.

Stats
Your character has the follow-
ing stats, measured 1-8.
Toughness (build)
History (coloration)
Style (hair)
Coolness (attitude)
Perception (eyes)
Strength (hands)
Speaking (voice)

Oh, you have one other stat:
It’s called “I am famous to
this many people.” It starts
at 1. It can get as high as 14
Luges
You don’t actually play out a
luge. You just play the after-
math of a luge, where you all
review what happened over cheap
beer at a someone’s house. The
person whose house it is is
who-ever won the race.

one draw two and take the worst.
Highest card won the race. That
person gets one prestige! About
which more later. If more than
one person has the highest, it
was a photo finish and you’re ar-
guing about it. No one gets the
prestige. If you get a joker, you
cheated to win. So you won the
race, but you lose one point from
a stat (your call which one).

want to sell a book of character sheets for my crappy street luge game, go
right ahead and call it commercial use too.

determines what stat that you
use in your answer, but you can
choose to force an answer with
another stat, in which case you
take a penalty.

your prestige goes to zero.
Bullshit
There’s more to life than just
luge. You have an ordinary life.
This is three things you want.
These can be things like:

Have a scene where you try to
do one of your things. It gets
to the moment where you might
actually do something! Draw
three cards and compare to an
appropriate attribute. If all
of them are lower, you succeed!
If they aren’t, you fail.

Dropping out
You can also decide to drop out
of street luging. In this case,
you don’t get to hang out with
the guys anymore. Each time you
miss a luge, you get no pres-
tige, so the number of people
that you’re famous to drops by
one, or a stat does. Howev-
er, when you do other things,
you only draw one card to com-
pare to your stat, rather than
three.
