This is the first Buttered Toast introducing the 1PD6 RPG system, so build up your stats to fend off the assaults of racism. Maybe give yourself a good look and don't forget to have some fun along the way, or you'll go mad. The best hint that I can give for navigation is check out a recent map of Kansas City, MO.'".
