A new roleplaying game of the post-zombie apocalypse has arrived from Onyx Path Publishing. Dystopia Rising: Evolution is a Storyteller system release in which the player characters aim to survive in a world overrun by the undead, although the living may actually present the bigger problem. The 310 page PDF is available for $19.99, or the premium hardcover and PDF for a special price of $54.99, at DriveThruRPG.
From Onyx Path:
“People don’t need a reason to be awful to each other. They just need to survive. But people don’t need a reason to survive, either. They just need each other.”
— Tribeca Rockaway, sniper of the Dead Heroes gang
No one knows how long it’s been since the world was blasted with nuclear radiation and became infested with the undead. The survivors of the Fall were the first strain of deviation of the human condition and were able to make it through the rapidly spreading epidemic. Finding a community of decent size in this world is rare; finding one that has any concept of equality or morality is rarer still.
Oh, and people have the unnerving ability to come back from the dead, regrown from the very virus that destroyed the world.
Some highlights of Dystopia Rising: Evolution include:
- Rules for creating characters for 24 different Strains, variations on humanity that survived the Fall.
- Details on the powers of faith and psionics.
- Advice on running action-adventure stories, webs of personal intrigue, and procedural investigations.
- Dozens of antagonists, including a variety of zombies and raiders to use in your series.
