Operation Sarcastic Riot
A downloadable FIST / OSR supplement
BRIEFING
CYCLOPS is up to no good again. In order to assure their continued dominance well into the future, they've traveled into the past, as well as into parallel timelines. For reasons we have yet to discover, they are highly focused on the medieval time period and similar timelines.
Operation Sarcastic Riot is the code name for our multi-mission attempt to thwart them. You're to go into the past, find out what they're doing, and figure out how to stop it.
How does it work? I don't know, soldier, that's above my pay grade. Just hop into this time machine and it'll do the rest. The machine was provided by the people who are bankrolling Operation Sarcastic Riot.
So, yes, that means you're getting paid. Now get moving!

I cackled when I realized the name was hiding an OSR acronym
Heh, it's a bad habit of mine. Witness my OSR blog, Orange Subterfugacious Raccoon...

Operation Sarcastic Riot is a conversion pack for adapting DnD and OSR content to FIST.
The PDF is 17 pages, with clean, well organized, zine-y feeling layout. Pictures are provided throughout, and everything is easy to read.
Contents-wise, this is a detailed and thorough conversion kit. There's rules for adapting everything from AC/Armor to Choke/Morale. It can get a bit formulas-y, but all of the conversion is designed around working quickly and getting to the heart of the content. You don't need to know calculus to use it.
The tone of the writing is conversational and direct, and this really does a *lot* to keep the text approachable. Reading it feels like sitting down to chat with a friend, and there weren't any places where I felt confused or had to double back to check a mechanic.
There's a lot of supplemental material here as well, including new Traits, monsters, and a section at the end with very specific guidance on converting from a ton of different systems. It's extremely detailed and well-researched.
Overall, if you want to lean further into FIST's osr tendencies by using it to run actual osr, this is probably the definitive way to do it.
