Final Boss Final Boss is a hack of Alone Among the Stars by Takuma Okada
By David Kentaro Jackson
You are the Final Boss and you are hell bent
on your evil mission. Play this game to build
and update the Factions for your tabletop
fantasy role playing game campaign!
First, choose your archetype. This should
reflect and reinforce the tone of your
campaign. The archetype of your Final Boss
determines a lot about your campaign, so
choose according to the flavor you hope to
evoke. No single archetype has to define you,
you can be a combination of a few if that
suits you.
• The Gleeful Sadist
• A Fool, Guided by Burning Emotion
• Eternally Wise and Cold as the Millenia
• The Bitter Old Failure
• To Destroy all Society and Order
• To Suffer is to be Pure
• Perfect Knowledge of the Heroes
Describe your Final Boss but keep them
mysterious while you are playing this game
and during the early sessions of your
campaign.
You play this game by visiting each of your
Factions and checking up on their Assets. Roll
a six-sided die and place cards face down
equal to the number you rolled. To find out
your Factions Assets, flip over a card and roll
a six-sided die.
On a 1-2 this Asset is difficult to reach.
On a 3-4 this Asset is ever present.
On a 5-6 this Asset is most loyal.

The suit and rank determine the flavor of
your asset. In your ledger, record a
description of your Asset and its status, along
with any other observations.

When you are playing your campaign,
update the factions according to the
developments of your campaign. Every few
games, you should revisit your Factions with
this game. Roll a six-sided die and draw cards
equal to your die result and place them face
down. Draw them one by one to discover
developments to any Factions of your choice.
