Shoot The Gift: A Paragon Playset

SHOOT THE GIFT is a Hip Hop and YA dystopia playset for the PARAGON system from the AGON roleplaying game. A copy of AGON is required to play. For more on the PARAGON system, including how to publish your own playset visit AGON-RPG.com.

"Here's a little story that must be told..."

The world's fallen apart and the pieces have been divvied up between corporations-turned-governments. People either toil endlessly in Babylon--the hollowed out metropolises run by greedy City Lords--or struggle to survive in villages just outside of irradiated wastes. Amidst the darkness, you and your Crew have been given a Gift to bring the world some light.

The Game

In Shoot The Gift, you'll travel a wasteland, using Hip Hop to literally and figuratively change the world.
