Hunting Billionaires For Sport (Year Of The Tiger Edition)

It's exactly 1 year since people first started hunting billionaires for sport. In that time the sport has grown at an extraordinary rate, giving rise to both the Extrajudicial Means Distribution Union and Nero.tv. Nations around the world have enacted a total ban on firearms and ammunition sales, as well as dedicated buyback schemes for existing guns. Science and arts have seen a simultaneous market boon, and their advances have integrated seamlessly into daily life. Welcome to 2023.

A game for 1 session runner and 2-5 hunters. Runs about 2-3 hours.

As a one-shot: It's easy to pick up, simple to explain, provides a quick reference sheet for those new to the rules. Low prep (could easily be run entirely improvised), fast-paced, and provides a satisfying narrative exit 2/3rds of the way through the session in case you are running over time.

As a campaign: Interesting and variable character advancement, progressive and gentle introduction to more advanced rules. World-building, character background, collaborative action, and character retirement all tied together mechanically. Plot threads strategically placed in the lore and mechanics for session runners to expand upon. Designed to allow you to swap session runners without interrupting the flow of the narrative so no one is stuck with the responsibility of running every session themselves and doing all the work involved in keeping a campaign running (it's hard! We get it!).

Year of the Orca update is in the works, and will be added to this page (meaning if you own this, you won't be asked to pay more). It makes the game way more streamlined, more one-shot focused, and easier to learn. As much as I find HBFS fun to play, some aspects of Year of the Tiger edition are clunky and lack player-guidance. I hope to clear that up in the new edition.
