Every hour of every day on Sixaura, the soldiers of each empire are killed and reborn in an endless loop. Their dead bodies derezz, the bonds between their nanos dissolving—only to be reassembled elsewhere, fresh with the memory of death and ready to kill again. These clone commandos do not die and do not rest. They are duplicated forever, frozen in the same unchanging unaging body. This is the only life they know. It is a meatgrinder without meat—a bloodbath without blood. And it is also, soldier, your life.

PLANET FIST is a Powered by the Apocalypse narrative wargame of satirical scifi skirmish storytelling by Jess Levine, where three principles rule:
- DEATH IS LIFE: When the enemy blows your nanoassembled body to bits, you simply "derezz" and are printed next turn-0 HP is only an inconvenience. That stupid idea that would either get your character killed or be really fucking cool? Do it, every time.
- SHOOTOUTS ARE STORIES: This is a combat-heavy game, but that doesn't mean it's just a turn-based combat wargame with some wordbuilding as set dressing. Sixauran soldiers live on the battlefield, and must learn to make a life out of it. Chat, hang out, make someone laugh, care about people, get revenge. Live life fully-just do it with a gun in your hand.
- FICTION FIRST: Don't let the rules fool you: the story precedes then. Rules-light-ish, with occasional crunch as camp.
Content Advisory!
Video game-y hyper-violence and satirical, over-the-top depictions of fascist politics in the style of satires like Starship Troopers (1995) and Helldivers. Higher levels of gore and body horror may be present; players will discuss comfort levels and set group boundaries around different elements of violence at the table before play.
