The Impostor

You have taken over someone else’s body, either on purpose or due to forces outside your control. You’re trying your best to play along with the role you’ve been given, and keep from being found out as a fake.

The Impostor is a playbook for Riley Hopkins's Interstitial 2e. It's a playbook based on characters who are inhabiting the body of another, like Shen Yuan/Shen Qingqiu from Scum Villain's Self-Saving System, Corpse God/Polka Shinoyama from Dead Mount Death Play, Sam Beckett from Quantum Leap, or Superior Spider-Man.

This is also a version of a core playbook from a larger Interstitial 2e hack I'm writing called MetaFiction. Please look forward to it!
