	This is Not a Test (AKA TNT or TiNaT) is a minis-agnostic, skirmish-level post-apocalyptic wargame by Dave Taylor and Joseph McGuire. Not to be confused with Joseph McCullough, author of [[Frostgrave]]. It's got a basic setting sketched out in the main rulebook, but almost ~~non-~~one uses it. It's mostly popular because the rules are reasonably balanced, and the factions have just enough flexibility to let you use models from essentially any post-apocalyptic or grimdark SF universe and get playing without having to spend a week [[Homebrew\|home-brewing]] stuff. There is a free version of the rules and several scenarios available - check the links section.

	The Rogue Reclaimers are a breakaway from the Preservers that believe only they have the authority to use pre-Fall tech, and are willing to kill anyone else who has it. As a whole, they are a pretty one-dimensional warband. Rogues feel more like a sub-faction than their own unique force. Instead of the Reclaimer's usual diverse access to tech, they just equip most of the warband in Power Armor.. even if certain rookies get the salvaged ~~or depowered~~ models held together by duct tape. ~~That~~ Depowered ~~Power~~ Armor ~~can save your ass, though, since it's not subject to the usual breakdown rules and immune to EMP attacks~~. Once per campaign, Rogues can choose to run the Snipe Hunt scenario and the winner will automatically find a suit of Powered Armor. Make sure you're that winner.

			Contrary to the previous editor, you cannot have Depowered Armor in a renegade reclaimed list. Once per campaign, Rogues can choose to run the Snipe Hunt scenario and the winner will automatically find a suit of Powered Armor. Make sure you're that winner.

	Initiative is a hybrid of IGo-UGo and alternating activation. The player with initiative picks a model and rolls against the its Mettle stat. If you pass you get 2 actions with that mini and can choose another model once you're done. If you fail you get only one action and your opponent gets to roll initiative for one if their minis. A natural "1" on the Activation roll causes any Relics on the model to stop working until you spend actions to fix them, and certain skills give bonuses if you roll a natural 10. Once one player runs out of models, the other one keeps playing until they've activated all their own models (though they'll still need to roll to see how many actions they get). Some skills give bonuses or penalties to activation rolls, and a couple of the status effects can also affect your activation chances.		Initiative is a hybrid of IGo-UGo and alternating activation.

	Certain weapons and skills also give bonus actions: for example, burst-fire guns allow you to take a bonus shot if you use all your actions for the turn on shooting, and Charging gives you bonus melee attack actions. You get the bonus regardless of how many actions you've rolled, so choosing the right gear can mitigate some of the problems with poor-Mettle troops. See the Tactics page for more.
