OUR RULES

Our system is simple. Characters have 17 skills, each starting at 20% (a basic human-level chance to succeed).

Players get 10 "pips" which they can assign to boost skills of their choosing. Each pip adds +20% to their window of success, with a maximum of 3 additional PIPs per skill (success window is capped at 80%).

To do something, players roll a d100. If they roll equal to or under their skill level, they succeed.

DISCLAIMERS

All characters, events, and organisations in The Bad Articles are entirely fictional.

No AI has been used in the creation of the show.

CONTENT WARNING

The Forever Wake (Part 3)

Our agents begin investigating the wake of Mickey 'The Mackerel' Mulchrone. Wait, did I say that already? Hmmm. Maybe there is something supernatural going on, after all? They head to the basement, to find out more. And hopefully Dolan's stopped gaslighting an oul' man.
