Printable Lighter Assembly Kit is a set of directions for a foldable lighter---plus some in-universe flavor for FIST.
The PDF is one page, cleanly handwritten, and rotated. Adobe Acrobat wanted me to pay to be able to rotate the PDF, so I read it with my body turned at an angle.
The instructions for assembling the lighter are clear and easy to follow, and the flavor that precedes them makes the document a great prop to hand a player.
Overall, this won't affect your game of FIST mechanically, but it's still neat to have. If a PC dies, or if you want to follow some other emotionally charged narrative beat with a bit of bureaucratic comedy, you should absolutely keep this close to hand.
Thank you for the kind words! It’s annoying that Acrobat makes you pay to rotate, but if you open the PDF in Firefox, the PDF viewer controls let you rotate the file. It’s just hidden away in one of the menus.
Sympathies on the struggle with Adobe. I had a terrible experience with them involving being in the middle of nowhere in a foreign country, a company directed auto-update, and Adobe's aggressive licensing monitoring that cost me a few grand in productivity despite my company shoveling money at them annually. Switched to GNU/OS when possible after that - in SumatraPDF, CTRL-Shift-Minus or CTRL-Shift-Plus rotates the screen.
