From the introduction: In order to play, you’ll need two to six players (one to serve as the GM and the rest to be players), these rules, and a set of polyhedral dice (d4, d6, d8, d10, d12, and d20) or an app to simulate dice, and two distinct kinds of tokens. Unlike many role-playing games where the GM calls almost all of the shots, the players and the GM will work together to craft the story of the game. Think of this as a collaborative effort where you all work together to tell an awesome 80s story where strange things happen. User summary: This Ashcan Edition of the game was released for free public download during the kickstarter for the commercial version of the core rules.
