2025 Golden Fez Award - The Bucket of Blood Award for best combat rules

"Narrow premise is a great premise, or the greatest premise?" -- Fred Hicks, Evil Hat

"Fascinatingly tactical; a remarkable balancing act of black comedy, athletic ego and prime-time violence." -- Jess Valentine, The Coffin Club

"Hitler-speedrunning and nazi-mowing is stellar, some of the most fun and cathartic fascist killing I have played through in the artform; by those standards, a lesson of focus and pursuing what your deal is." -- Lhuzie, Split/Party

"Once combat starts it feels a bit more like a dice game than an RPG since it runs so fast! ... this is THE boomer shooter RPG." -- Someone on Reddit

On May 8th, 2068, scientist Elisabet Rosenzweig answered the most pressing question in science fiction – “what’s the first thing you would do if you could travel through time?” - by killing Hitler. It took her precisely 5 years, 137 days, eight hours, and 12 seconds.

Fifteen years later killing Hitler is the hottest sport on the planet. The record stands at two weeks.

Korvidae Games is proud to present Kill Him Faster, a tabletop roleplaying game about time-traveling athletes speed-running the ultimate execution.

Immerse your athletes in heart-pounding league play designed to give you the style and feel of first-person shooters as you blast nazis into gore with a devastating assortment of weapons and special gear.

Gather your friends, create your team, and manage a roster of professional sports heroes as they strive for greatness. Terminate evil with expeditious prejudice, navigate trade days, compete in league championships, and survive the offseason in the most visceral sports RPG available today.

Build your own International Speedrunning League and compete for glory by assassinating hitler — over and over again — on your path to the championship.

Success on (and off) the field boosts your team’s Hype Meter, unlocking cooperative team moves like Wolfpack and Cooperative Play. But beware: if cohesion drops, you’ll lose the crowd’s love — and your edge.

Each player manages a roster of pro athletes. Generate them quickly using streamlined rules that establish core stats, interests, and maybe even their blood type.

Customize your athletes with Combat Affinities that enhance their favorite weapons. Balance fatigue with performance as the season progresses, while building up their Crowd Favourite Meter — the ultimate indicator of how lucrative retirement will be.

As athletes navigate the off-season, they accumulate Quirks — personality traits with small benefits and increasingly debilitating side effects. The more Quirks they stack, the closer they creep to breakdown... or greatness.

Slaughter nazis with FPS-inspired, zone-based combat. Use actions to push or pull enemies into position, then snuff them out with an assortment of weapons and gear.

Every hit is a kill — just roll under your weapon’s target number. No HP. No second chances.

Battlefield variety comes from Zone Modifiers (including alarm stations, barricades, and shortcuts), Special Events (such as Ambush!, Intercepted Comms, and weather conditions), and Enemy Abilities that disrupt your rhythm.

Die in the past... and your retirement is expedited.

Being a superstar athlete in 2083 isn’t just about assassinating hitler faster than the other team.

It’s about crushing your opponent’s spirit in the rap battle/MMA weigh-in pregame show.

It’s about giving a competent, heartfelt post-match press interview (“How did your love for your hometown help you kill so many nazis today?”).

And it’s about surviving a gauntlet of off-season drama — built off your athlete's Quirks and terrible personal choices.
