One of the most iconic films of the 1990s action boom is Face/Off, a movie which switches the protagonist’s and villain’s faces to have each go undercover as the other. In the film, actors Nicolas Cage and John Travolta had to portray each other’s portrayals of their characters, which is my favorite element of the movie. I wanted to keep that spirit alive in a one-shot I’ve created based on the movie: players will have to switch midway through the game and play each other’s characters.
Below is a simple rules system and a guide to a custom one-shot based on the movie Face/Off. Read on for instructions and the script for my adaptation of this strange film.
