Bad Attitudes is a quick and hilarious action movie cop roleplaying game. Using only d6s and keeping track of only one pool of points (and a few skills) you can play out the scenarios of movies like Die Hard and Lethal Weapon, where action hero types with the titular bad attitudes beat each other up and cause tons of collateral damage. The game can be easily summarized by just saying that there are cardinal skills like Shoot Guns, Kick Ass, and Drive Cars, and most everything else is Basically Worthless Stuff. There's an interesting set of random tables to quickly generate formulaic action movie cop scenarios, and this 7-page PDF is a nice thing to keep around in case half of your group failed to show up for D&D again.

This is a fun beer and pretzels sort of game. Everything you need, including random adventure creation. If you enjoyed cop/action movies (especially from the 80s), this is for you.

This was a joy to read; the whole game just oozes fun. The mechanics are simple and straight forward, with enough of a twist to keep it interesting.

Well worth checking out!

In full disclosure, while I have never met Berin in the flesh, I have read a lot of his words over the years. Bad Attitudes is a great representation of his work.

Jump on the hood of the bad guys car and hang on. This game was a blast to read through. Gonna run it for my teenagers tonight.
