"In Little Portswell, Crime is in charge.
The Police doesn't do anything, as always.
Purple suits, the Willow Conglomerate, patrol the streets like they own the place, because they do.
A single mother has just had her only son taken from her, you're her last hope.
Ready your bat, your well polished shoes, your guns and your sword.
Its time to bust heads for a good cause."

BAD EVENING: A S.O.A.R. QUICKSTART

Is an intro to Shirtless On A Rooftop, is a TTRPG all about busting heads and talking feelings, it contains everything you need to run a 2 to 3 session long adventure, introducing your table to the world and mechanics of SOAR

SLASH of LIFE is SOAR's narrative engine, using a two step process to determine the success of actions: a d10 attempt roll to see if you even succeed, and a d6 pool success roll to see how well you succeed.

Turmoil

Turmoil represents your character's inner struggle between two values they care about, SOAR is as much a journey about bashing heads as it is a journey of discovering on which side of the scale you end up.

Quirks and Spotlight Tokens

Each character in SOAR has access to a pool of individual tokens that enable you to do activate powerful effects in narrative, these are called Quirks.
However, to gain Spotlight Tokens, you need to play into your Negative Quirks, aspects of your character that make them flawed people.

The Brawl is SOAR's tactical combat engine, much like SLASH of Life it uses a two step process: d10 to see if you hit your attack and d6 pool to see what damage profile your attack uses.

Kinetic Combat

In SOAR, forced movement is important, combat and grid maps are designed to encourage people to take advantage of the high ground, push people into objects or even through windows to deal additional damage.

Fast to Resolve

Abilities and attacks are designed with the explicit purpose of being quick to resolve, top to bottom and applying effects in order, SOAR combat is fast once you get used to it, meaning you have more room for more combat.

4 Premade Characters

With advice on how to play them, you only need to name them.

The Greasy P.I.

They own an office, its small, its cramped, but its home, they have a good eye and can reconstruct how a given scene went down, on top of that their assistant can help them with anything legal, unfortunately, they are cursed with bad luck.
In a fight, they use their kicks to push people through windows, into trashcans and into their allies.

The Thug In Turmoil

An enforcer for the Tiger Mafia, they are passionate, strong, but ultimately kind and truly wish to help people, even if it sometimes goes against their oath.
In a fight, they wield a baseball bat, turning enemies into improvised projectiles and dealing a ton of damage.

The Scarred Sword

A wandering sword wielder, defined by the scars on their back, they have been through a lot, many people rely on their skill, their dedication to the craft is inspiring, however they struggle with opening up to people.
In a fight, their sword stance allows them to move as fast as the wind, slashing multiple people and closing the distance in the blink of an eye.

The Tracked Agent

An Ex [REDACTED], they know what its like to be hunted down, doing the right thing is never easy and the people in power always hate it, so they've learned the best ambush spots around the city.
