A downloadable TTRPG

Made for the https://itch.io/jam/pleasurecardrpg!

Designed to create tense survivalist TTRPG gameplay in the zombie apocalypse, with a ruleset that just can't get any more readable, digestible and enjoyable, taking up less space than a bookmark on your gaming shelf!

This game became the second most popular in the jam in under 24 hours

Key Inspirations were: Alien RPG, Call of Cthulhu RPG, Planck, and the Last of Us.

UPDATE: I've just added a new GM's guide (business card sized of course), it's tips and tricks are pretty basic but I thought it might be useful for some of you.

This is pretty great! A minor edit I would suggest is to change the action resolution to say something along the lines of "...on a roll of 7 or above you succeed, anything below is a fail, and on a roll of 1 or 2 you gain a Stress counter." Saying "a roll above 6" or "a roll below 3" just isn't as clear if you're skimming to remember.

Could maybe even do something like:

  • 7+  | Success
  • 6-3 | Fail
  • 1-2 | Fail + one Stress counter

Thanks for the suggestion! I might do an updated version some time this week.

Best game on itch.io, made by a noob though...
