Actual Cannibal Shia Labeouf A Fwe-Three Page RPG—V0.3B You're walking in the woods. There's no one arounid and your phone is dead. Out of the corner of your eye you spot him... Shia Labeouf He gets down on all fours and breaks into a sprint! He's gaining on you!” Premise You are one of the unlucky ones, You have been caught up in a deadly struggle with Shia Labeouf, Band together with other strangers to escape, outwit and possibly even kill Shia Labeout. Character Creation You will néed = © Aname ‘© A brief description of Your character * Anitem youhave in your possession How to Play Your character can be anyone. Unless the Shia Master (SM) specifically stipulates it during an action, your general fitness and body shape won't limit you in any particular way. The item in your possession can be virtually anything ‘with the exception of the following: ‘© Aworking cellphone or other communication device. ‘© Large quantities of ammo. ‘+ Items that immediately and completely resolve the situation, * Paper bags with which to trap Shia Labeouf, ach character begins play with 5 blood tokens. These represent your wellbeing, As you are attacked and move through various challenges, you will lose blood tokens. When your Shia Master (SM) requites it, roll a D6, Ifthe number is equal or greater than your current number of blood tokens, you lose one, which is discarded into the cen- tre of the table, Once you lose all five, the next attack will be fatal The only goal is to survive and escape the scenario youate in, Shia Labeout will hunt you as long as you remain in the vicinity. The item you have can possibly aid you in some way, though your SM will determine how helpful itis in a given situation. Actions are taken in the following order -"The GM describes the scene -> The players offer their actions -> the GM. will give how the envitonment and Shia respond to them ->Once the new situation has been described, the cycle repeats. Good luck...M's Section This isa little or no prep one-shot RPG, Character creation takes about 60 seconds. This is a collaborative story- telling game and has no stats and uses only a single die to do every significant action. Descriptiveness is encour- aged! It's unlikely the game will last more than 2 hours, Shia Labeout is fast, powerful and possibly naked. Think the bastard son of Jason and Mike Myers with the cruelty of Freddy Krueger and the speed and power of the Wolfman, He hunts mercilessly and will not stop until he has tasted blood and consumed the flesh of his quarry. Gently guide your players by describing the areas they are in, Unless their actions are completely ridiculous, allow them to attempt them, Success is automatic but blood tokens are not unlimited. For game purposes Shia Labeout hasa minimum of 5 +{2x the number of players] in blood tokens, though the number can be adjusted by the SM if they wish to increase the challenge. If the players attack Shia, either directly or with environmental hazards, remove one of his blood tokens then have him retreat to give the players a brief respite. Ifthe players somehow manage to deplete all of Shia’s tokens, they are Victorious but forever scarred by their horrifying experience. Ifa player dies as a result of expending all their blood tokens, these discarded tokens are added to Shia’s total as he cconsuimies the body, bones and all! Of course, while he feasis, the players can flee unimpeded, Interrupting his feeding will greatly anger Shia and cause him to target the interrupter more viciously than the others. Each scenario is an exercise in improvisation for the SM. You are given a setting and expected to run with it in whatever direction Shia chases your players. Think of it as a particularly tongue in cheek horror film. Vivid de- scriptions are key, whereas maps and miniatures are discouraged, ‘You describe a scene, the players respond and you insert Shia's actions where appropriate, Players roll for actions that may result in harm, physical or mental. This game is not intended to be fair to the players. People will die, If the players manage to get into a safe situation (locked in a safe room, trapping Shia permanently) you can expend 2 of his blood tokens to cause a Shia Surprise! where he escapes the situation, however implausible his escape may be. Do not allow the players a huge amount of time to think or plan, More than five minutes of safety should be interrupted, using a Shia Surprise! if necessary. Feel free to play oh horror story cliches and make the game as se ious or silly as you wish. Silly is kind of inevitable though. Some locations are given ovetleaf to get you started. Flip a coin for the let or right column then roll a dé to décide the nightmare that awaits your players! About the Author: Matthew J.
