The Anomaly: An Interstitial 2E Playbook

Always moving to a beat, bursting into song with spontaneous backup dancers, or ignoring gravity, you seem to live in a different world with different rules. This makes some actions easier and some harder, and it always makes it harder to assimilate into new worlds, but youmay be able to get themto play by your rules.

The Anomaly is a playbook for Interstitial 2E about playing a character who exists and interacts with the world in a fundamentally different way, and is also intended as a source of extra moves for players that want to focus on the friction and conflict that comes from characters of different physical realities, or fictional genres, interacting. It is inspired by characters like Chai (from Hi-Fi Rush), Viewtiful Joe, and that thing Trish keeps doing in Interstitial: Infinity where she turns other peoples' powers into stands.

Special thanks to Riley Hopkins for not only creating Interstitial 2E but also including design files for playbooks! They were extremely helpful in crafting this one.
