Ever dreamed of putting your mark on every surface in sight? Notorious Style let you write and draw the story of a graffiti artist with an obsession.
You are a street artist trying to get a rep and find their place in the graffiti culture. Your goal is to reach fulfilment.
Ever dreamed of putting your mark on every surface in sight? Notorious Style let engage with one if not the most accessible and freely available art form: graffiti and street art.
The Kickstarter campaign, which launched on 1 February and ends on 29 February, will bring to print Notorious Style, solo journaling and drawing RPG filled with prompts, tables, and graffiti lore to tell tall stories taking place in the secretive graffiti sub-culture. Notorious Style is the love child of a re-work of ZIMO's Getting Up by Fraud, and Clément Filleul a French graphic designer and illustrator with a soft spot for murals.
In Notorious Style, players are vandals, art students, kids with too much time on their hands, activists with a cause, adrenaline addicts , and everything in between. How will your character go from a toy to a respected and admired artists? Will you paint the best spot? The most beautiful art? Will it be through a found family of like minded people? The game Provides a rule light game, for new comers to graffiti and indie RPG alike. It utilises two ten-sided dice to play and provide a taste of what journaling and drawing is in practice, with advice on how to get started with both.
The game filled with tables and prompt to help players craft stories, as well as artwork from Clément to get inspired. Each play will be different than the next, with optional rules for experienced players, or players who prefer crunchier designs.
The Kickstarter campaign reached its initial goal of £312 within 24 hours and to date has funded over 4.5x the amount. The funds have unlocked 2 stretch goal rewards, the first providing a way for the community to direct Clément when designing one of the illustration, the second offering new content in the form of extra rules, lore, and tutorials to get you started drawing graffiti.
The PDF and the printed are tuned to provide the experience in their medium. A custom font and a play in the PDF experience for digital play. A thick paper stock to allow players to paint on the zine and use paper clips.
The campaign ends in less than 48 hours on 29 February. Back it before it's too late!
