Fool's Gold BETA

Something other than gold was unearthed during the great Rush. They call it a curse, a blight, judgement - but out here, there are many who would sooner sell their souls than give up their dreams.

Welcome to Fool's Gold, a Sparked by Resistance TTRPG for 3-5 players in which ancient alien technology has taken root in the Old West, hoping to take control one human at a time. You play the hardened inhabitants of Folly, a region lost to history, wrestling with the threats of a dying land - and the strange, soul-killing infection that leaves people more machine than man.

• Explore as one of seven classes, armed with history, connections and uncanny abilities granted by this strange land. Fight, cheat and flee across the abandoned region, driven forward by your own personal goals and vices.
• Battle against the robotic corruption, as it spreads from deep below into the people and places you hold dear.
• Wrestle for control of your own soul, and watch as it transforms you from the inside out. Will you overcome the Second Intelligence before your body ceases to be your own?

This 53 page rulebook includes:

• Introduction to the game and rules
• 60+ unique, story-changing Fallout effects
• 7 class descriptions, each with 16+ Advances to be gained as you play.
• Specific rules for Mech infection, and 30+ Mech Upgrades that emerge with your advancing transformation.

This game is incomplete! With any luck, it is being developed as you read this. Look forward to updates to the rules, new abilities and classes and pre-built scenarios for a quick start.
