Bibliography Role-playing games Mutant Chronicles (1993) Deadlands (1996), contributor Brave New World (1999) Tales from the Loop (2017), additional writing Marvel Multiverse Role-Playing Game (2022) Collectible card games WildStorms: The Expandable Super-Hero Card Game (1995) Fastbreak (1996) – a now-out-of-print collectible card game (CCG) by WildStorm based on professional basketball. It was first released in August 1996 and was designed by Matt Forbeck. The original set had 303 cards plus 2 promo cards, though one source claims there are 8 promo cards. The art was cartoony with a humor theme and was described as having a "consistent theme" with its "best traits [being] its humor and the realism". Matt Forbeck is featured on a card, and, as one of the designers, put significant effort into designing and playing the game. Gameplay involves players taking on the role of coaches to guide their basketball players to victory. Two rows of five-man teams are lined up and a basketball token is passed between the player cards using Dribble cards. The ball moves up columns and across rows on a 5×5 grid. Counter play is initiated through Foul cards that can steal or shoot the ball that is being dribbled via Grab cards. Passes are resisted with Steals and Shoot cards resisted with Blocks. Wild cards allow effects outside of moving the ball.
