Project Update: Upcoming Stretch Goals, Clichés and more
Hello Badasses,
TL;DR: The next Stretch Goals have been chosen, we’re spotlighting character Clichés, and we’ve got some snapshots from a live event.
The Votes Are In
Thanks to everyone who took the time to vote in the Stretch Goal poll.
Here are your top three picks:
- New Problem – Hall of Shame (20%)
- Random Problem Generator (22%)
- Hacks to play popular series (Knight Rider, A-Team, Miami Vice, X-Files) (37%)
We’ll unlock them in that order, and just like we explained in the last update they’ll be unlocked in one of two ways:
- Hitting the associated funding goal
- Or reaching a specific number of unique clicks to this campaign link (which we can track):
If you’d like to help, share that link anywhere you think people will genuinely care: Discord servers, forums, social posts, DMs.
(We trust your judgment, just don’t spam random places. Be cool.)
Here are the thresholds for each unlock:
- New Problem – Hall of Shame: 200 clicks / €12,000
- Random Problem Generator: 400 clicks / €13,000
- TV Series Hacks: 750 clicks / €15,000
We’ll add a visible click tracker to the Stretch Goal section of the campaign page and update it regularly so you can follow the progress.
Clichés
We haven't really delved into the six Clichés that your Badass can choose from at the beginning of the game. This is who you used to be—for better or worse. Even though a few of them are included in the Quickstart, here's the full list.
The Veteran
You’re good with weapons and even better when your body and instincts move as one. You probably joined the military out of some clean-cut patriotic ideal… the kind that died screaming along with a part of you, somewhere in the middle of a useless, bloody war.
The Vigilante
You used to fight for justice. You actually believed in it. Maybe you were a cop, a nosy reporter, or just someone who finally got sick of the system and started doing things your way, free from the lies of men and their laws.
The Agent
The secrets you carry are worth more than lives. Don’t play dumb: you always knew you were on borrowed time. A high-level asset. Useful, but disposable. Their one mistake? They trained you too well.

The Leader
You lead because you have presence, authority, and the scars to prove you earned them. Maybe you were the guy in the suit pulling strings in some ivory tower, or the grizzled squad leader who gave more of a damn about his crew than himself. One thing’s for sure: you pissed off the wrong person. Someone with power.

The Smartass
You’re better with words than fists, no doubt. Still, that smug grin of yours has gotten you out of more trouble than most people get into. There are action men, shady backroom types, and then there’s you—a silver-tongued bastard who either knows more than the devil… or fakes it better.

The Specialist
You were the best at what you did, and what you did was nasty. Your skills made you highly sought-after, for better or worse. Whenever you finished a job in one country, there was already a new one lined up in another, usually in some hot zone where danger was part of the deal.

Raffale @ Lucca Comics & Games
This is probably only relevant to Italians, but the biggest gaming event in Italy started today, and Raffaele is there, manning our stand (or, to be precise, MS Edizioni’s stand), demonstrating the game, and hustling like only a badass could. Here are a couple pictures from this morning. If you're there, go say hi!
