STRIKE FORCE SYSTEM

Elite Specialists. High-Risk Operations. Escalating Consequences.

STRIKE FORCE is a genre-neutral, tactical dice-pool engine designed for games about professionals performing under extreme pressure. Whether you’re infiltrating a high-security corporate vault, raiding a wizard’s sanctum, or executing a deep-space extraction, the Strike Force System ensures that every decision matters and every mistake has a price.

THE CORE LOOP: COMPETENCE VS. CHAOS

Using a refined d6 dice-pool system, Strike Force introduces the Professional Shield. Your skills don't just make you better; they make you more stable. High-level operatives can ignore complications that would break a lesser agent, allowing for a narrative where specialists feel truly elite (until the pressure becomes too much to handle).

KEY FEATURES

• Tactical Depth, Zero Bloat: A streamlined 2-action economy and grid-based combat that prioritizes positioning and suppression over math-heavy modifiers.
• The Heat System: Inspired by the Progress Clocks of Blades in the Dark, the Tactical Heat monitor ensures that the longer you stay in the field, the more the world pushes back.
• High Lethality: Combat is fast and dangerous. Use cover, coordinate overwatch, and manage your resources, or face the permanent consequences of a botched operation.
• Genre Neutral: Built on a clean SRD (v1.0.0), the system is designed to be reskinned for any setting from gritty noir to high-tech espionage.
• Developer Friendly: Released under CC-BY 4.0, Strike Force is an open platform. Build your own settings, hacks, and supplements with ease.
