DIESEL, a new tabletop roleplaying game, is launching on Kickstarter on March 1. DIESEL combines cinematic action with an emotional core to create memorable gameplay experiences.
Inspired by media such as
Mad Max and
Firefly, DIESEL is set at the edge of reality itself. Here, impossible things can happen including the creation of Diesels, or humans modified by biotechnology to run on diesel fuel. Players take on the roles of Diesels and use their extraordinary abilities to be complete badasses.
Fans can sign up for the Kickstarter pre-launch today!

Yas! I still get a kick out of that name! Anyway, it’s exciting to think that we’re going to see an article on PC Gamer about Black Lives and the videogame industry as part of Black History Month - I was lucky enough to have a very long chat with Malindy Hetfield who is writing the article, and I’m hopeful that our work with Lillian and Jason on FF4K will feature in some way. Got to keep the hope alive! We’ll share it as soon as it hits.
