History TabletopGame / SpiritOfSeventySeven

'''Spirit of '77''' is a game from Monkeyfun Studios released in 2015 that uses the UsefulNotes/PoweredByTheApocalypse Engine and is, in the creator's words, "the best parts of a bad decade" put into a roleplaying game. It contains many [[ShoutOut Shout-Outs]] to 1970's TV, film, and music, along with a healthy tip of the pimp hat to the ExploitationFilm genre. A supplement book, ''Wide World of '77'', contains three pre-made adventures and more details on the game setting.

Hey, cats! It's TheSeventies! 1977 to be specific, or at least an altered version where UsefulNotes/RichardNixon beat the Watergate rap by throwing several of his own cronies under the bus. (The disappearance of a couple of pesky news reporters looking into the affair was probably just a coincidence.) He's served two full terms as president, though not without further controversy when he used zombies to end the UsefulNotes/VietnamWar. Now he's Secretary of State under newly elected president UsefulNotes/GeraldFord, who easily won the 1976 election against [[UsefulNotes/JimmyCarter a peanut farmer from Georgia]].

* CityWithNoName: The setting of the game, The City is a place perfect for all of the action to take place, as it's catered to the genres and tropes of the 70's.
* CoolCar: Automatically granted to any one who takes the Good Ol' Boy role. You can also take a CoolBike or Cool Truck.

* GameMaster: Known as the DJ in Spirit of '77.

* HoneyTrap: The Honeypot story type, which gives characters the skills using charisma and looks to get things done.

* PrivateDetective: One of the roles which takes influence from several 1970's TV series and exploitation films.

* TheSixStats: Averted: the classic types, now with funky 70's names, that are included are Strength = Might, Dexterity = Hustle, Charisma = Smooth, and Intelligence = Brains. The fifth and final stat is "Soul", which measures a character's spiritual strength, creativity, and luck.
* WeCanRebuildHim: The X-Tech role, in the vein of ''Series/TheSixMillionDollarMan'' and ''Series/TheBionicWoman'', gives the character cybernetic enhancements to use.

* TheMan: This being a game about the 70's, all characters have a common goal of sticking it to him.

* WeCanRebuildHim: The X-Tech role, in the vein of ''Series/TheSixMillionDollarMan'' and ''Series/TheBionicWoman'', gives the character cybernetic enhancements to use.

Each character consists of three modifiers, a "role" which describes your character's occupation or place in society, a "story" which describes their special abilities or how they get things done, and a "buzz" that provides your character's motivation. Both contribute skills, traits, and equipment to the complete character. You will also have a "hook" to other characters in your group that details why you'd hang around those weirdos in the first place.
