In the first part<\/a> of this three-part series, I reviewed Firestarter<\/b><\/i>, the 2022 adaptation of Stephen King\u2019s 1980 novel. In the second part<\/a>, I looked at turning the mean characters into characters using Onyx Path Publishing\u2019s<\/b> Deviant: The Renegade<\/b>s<\/b><\/a><\/i> RPG. For the final article, I\u2019m going to talk about The Shop, the antagonist organization in Firestarter<\/b><\/i>, looking at their history and some of the setup for them using Deviant\u2019s<\/b><\/i> rules. Finally, we answer the question of whether you should play this game at your gaming table.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

STEPHEN KING\u2019S THE SHOP<\/b><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a>Among other traits, Stephen King is known for his underlying shared universe. It\u2019s not overt, but it is there. The recurring elements of that shared universe include The Shop, an evil government organization. Featured or mentioned in Firestarter, Firestarter: Rekindled, Golden Years, The Lawnmower Man, The Tommyknockers, The Stand, The Langoliers<\/b><\/i>, and The Mist<\/b><\/i>, this group is a dark branch of the government. The Shop is an organization designed to defend the position of America with policies as ill-conceived as an army trying to win hearts and minds while conducting zippo raids and massacring civilians. In Firestarter<\/b><\/i>, The Shop executed the plan that resulted in the title character\u2019s powers before murdering and kidnapping everyone in her vicinity in the hope of manipulating the all-powerful eight year old.<\/p>\n

Charlie McGee\u2019s parents met after The Shop drugged them with Lot Six, a drug granting those that survived it minor telekinetic powers, which magnified in their daughter. After those powers manifested, The Shop became obsessed with abducting Charlie to weaponize her. Their schemes ranged from kidnapping to murder to subterfuge to worse. All failed, leaving only an angry eight year old with a burning<\/i> desire to avenge those wrongs done to her.<\/p>\n

While the ending of Firestarter<\/b><\/i> (1980) sets flame to the greater part of The Shop by burning the headquarters and exposing this secret organization to the wider world, The Shop appeared in a few more stories afterwords. However, the concept of The Shop seems to have fallen out of use after 1991\u2019s Golden Years<\/b><\/i>. It\u2019s last unofficial mention was in the King-inspired Firestarter<\/b><\/i> sequel, Firestarter: Rekindled<\/b><\/i> in 2002. King\u2019s spiritual successor to Firestarter<\/b><\/i>, 2019\u2019s The Institute<\/b><\/i>, features an evil agency, but it\u2019s not The Shop, instead opting for a new, less American-centric group.<\/p>\n

As antagonists, The Shop is the perfect opponent for a roleplaying party of nuclear children. The Shop enjoys the unlimited resources and support of the government, as well as the implications that it\u2019s a part of the bureaucratic monstrosity that authorized Native American policies including forced sterilization, the contamination of the water in Flint, Michigan, and many more legislative horrors that destroyed lives. This bureaucracy offers the faceless, unending antagonists every GM wants to employee to give the enemy narrative purpose combined with believable motivations.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

CONSPIRACIES<\/b><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a>In Deviant<\/b><\/i>, all of the evil organizations, cults, and governments are known as conspiracies, and they\u2019re built with a ruleset akin to character creation. The campaign\u2019s threat level determines how powerful your characters are and how dangerous the conspiracy is. In this case, The Shop is meant to be serious, emotionless, deadly, and worldwide. The rules help to build the organization, but Stephen King\u2019s work covers most of the important pieces.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s more important are the conspiracy\u2019s actions, the rules that help the Storyteller to do more rolling than dictation. As an organization, they\u2019ll surveil the renegades, work between encounters, coerce PCs, NPCs, and touchstones, fight their targets, and, possibly, have conflicts outside of them versus the renegades.<\/p>\n

As an added bonus, Deviant: The Renegades<\/b><\/i> has a variety of sample conspiracies and NPCs to help flesh out The Shop. There\u2019s more than enough material here to make The Shop a force for bureaucratic evil.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

WILL THIS SPARK YOUR GAMING TABLE\u2019S INTEREST?<\/b><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a>For the purposes of this article, I\u2019ve focused on Onyx Path Publishing\u2019s<\/b> Deviant: The Renegade<\/b><\/i>s<\/b><\/i><\/a> <\/b><\/i>as an engine for a Firestarter <\/b><\/i>homage. There\u2019s a lot of tabletop fun to mine here. I failed to mention another source of support for a Firestarter<\/b><\/i> homage, World of Darkness: Innocents<\/b><\/i><\/a>. While this book is for a prior addition, it\u2019s worth a solid review for a superpowered kids campaign. It provides the Storyteller with thoughts and options to help address the concepts and physical differences when children fight adults. There\u2019s emotional guidance an adventure options to pull from the novel. If this type of campaign speaks to you, it\u2019s the companion piece for it.<\/p>\n

By design, I\u2019ve left out many aspects of Deviant<\/b><\/i> out of this article. These options range as wide as a grimdark Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles,<\/b> <\/b><\/i>a deadly X-Men,<\/b> a sinister Robocop<\/b>, and more horrors. Instead, I\u2019m looking at the game through a narrow focus, bending all of its splendid rules to one novel from 1980.<\/p>\n

As such, will Stephen King\u2019s Firestarter<\/b><\/i> by way of Deviant: The Renegades<\/b><\/i> be right for your gaming table? It depends if playing with the Storytelling System<\/b><\/i> as hunted, scarred, superpowered children running from the horrors of an exploitative government is going to electrify the table. If long form stories of loss, fear, fleeing, and lashing out and fighting back appeal, then I highly recommend grabbing Onyx Path Publishing\u2019s<\/b> Deviant: The Renegade<\/b><\/i>s<\/b><\/i><\/a> <\/b><\/i>developing a conspiracy with plans to make psychic commandos.<\/p>\n
