Suggested Price $0.99

Turncoats is a small and somewhat experimental GM-less story game about military deserters. Players take the roles of simple archetypes, defining each other's characters before setting off into the wilderness. Life on the run quickly exposes their faults as they struggle with one another and the elements.

The game is simple, light and story-driven, and carries a somber tone of inevitability. There's no power fantasy here; the basic mechanic of the game is to expose each character in a moment of weakness to the judgement of others.

If you are struggling to get a game started and need a setting or some character traits, you might be interested in some d66 tables to help you decide or inspire some new angles for your games.

If you want something light-hearted and fun, this probably isn't for you. You might be more interested in Abort Retry Fail and it's Sequel, which are similarly light games about failing to control killer robots, or perhaps Damage Control, a GM-less game about making problems worse.

This game is part of the Newstand Press collection RECRUITED!, games about military service and war.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.
