'90s video game magazine style ad showing a soldier with glowing eyes zoned out and holding his own brain. Text over the image reads:

THIS IS PVT. PARKER COX.

PARKER DIDN'T MAKE IT OUT OF THE ZONE. WILL YOU?

"MANDELBROT SET" is shown in a messy, multicolored title font, over several screenshots. Ad copy reads:

MANDELBROT SET is the new exclusion zone expedition campaign from CLAYMORE Roleplaying Games. With 36 pulse-pounding random encounters, new abilities like psychic magnetism and retractable claws, plus a map that changes every time you play, itโ€™s so mind-bending and immersive, youโ€™ll forget to go to your job (not that you have one anyway). 

Youโ€™re looking at the next generation of tactical tabletop action, and itโ€™s only available for FIST: Ultra Edition, the paranormal mercenary roleplaying game. What will you find in the Zone?

every UK video game in the 80s and 90s was made by a guy named like "lord wensleydale" or two guys named "the chippy twins" and was about an egg with no special abilities going on an adventure and dying immediately. it was ported to the super nintendo where everyone hated it

gonna haring post for a bit cause i wrote my senior thesis on him

haring is mostly known for publicly consumable art - murals, subway graffiti, easily affordable stuff at pop shop locations. the art was all about public consumption, with very few exceptions, up until he receives his AIDS diagnosis.

It's hard to know how I feel right now, but ahead of Heartworm's release tomorrow I wanted to say I really hope you all can appreciate it for what it is. We did our best and learned a lot. It was never trying to live up to the classics but hopefully pay a respectable homage.

Miles away, Walton Goggins tilts his head like a dog hearing a frequency no one else can hear. He sniffs the air. A slow, genuine, but terrifying, smile fills his face.

Armor 
Wearing protective clothing or equipment can reduce incoming damage. Armor of any kind halves damage from most sources of damage except bullets (other exceptions will be noted where relevant). If an instance of damage would be reduced below 1, instead apply a -2 penalty to the attack roll that would cause that damage. Unless stated otherwise, worn armor is always mechanically in effect, even if an attacker is trying to avoid it or aim around it (e.g. โ€œmy investigator is aiming for the head, so the targetโ€™s leather jacket should have no effect.โ€). It is always assumed that targets of attacks will use their armor to their full advantage when defending themselves, such as using armored body parts to cover and protect unarmored body parts. The fact that an attacker has to try to aim around it at all means that the armor is doing its job regardless by imposing a disadvantage on attackers. Unless stated otherwise, this disadvantage is represented by a reduction in damage.[1]
[1   off to the side in the final formatting] So, a character wearing a bulletproof vest who gets shot during combat always takes 2 Penetrative Damage (instead of the usual 4). There are a number of ways for this to be justified within the narrative. Perhaps he got shot in the chest, and so the bullet struck him with tremendous force, but did not penetrate - or, perhaps the bullet did not strike his armor and thus it must have hit him in a limb, so he takes less damage because the limb is not a vital body part. Of course, he obviously did not get shot in the head, because he is still alive.

Do Not Share Character Sheets
Players should not show their character sheets to anyone except the Narrator unless absolutely necessary. As discussed in Chapter One, Eureka isnโ€™t necessarily cooperative on the part of the investigators, and not sharing character is an extension of that.

As was already mentioned, investigators may have secrets from each other, which could easily be ruined if everyone sees their character sheet. It may be the case that only one or two investigators actually have secrets to keep, but in that case suspicion will immediately fall on the investigator whose player will not share their sheet. 

Alternatively, it could be the case that none of the investigators have secrets to keep, but the uncertainty that not sharing character sheets creates is still additive to the experience. Discovering who characters are through play rather than informed attributes creates an organic feeling of getting to know another person. Itโ€™s one thing to see a Truth on a doctorโ€™s character sheet that he โ€œcares deeply about his patients,โ€ and another thing entirely to be told that by the doctor themselves. In the first case, itโ€™s undeniable, an incontrovertible statement on a character sheet. In the second, itโ€™s potentially unreliable - does he really care, or does he just know heโ€™s supposed to?
