The Punkapocalyptic role-playing game plunges you headfirst into this post-apocalyptic, thuggish and lethal world. Unlike our wargame, here you don’t lead gangs: you play a character with a name, a past, a personality and probably a lot of trauma.
Explore decaying settlements, negotiate with gang leaders, survive mutant creatures, and make decisions that are sure to end badly. All with a simple, straightforward system that’s as brutal as the environment.
Step into the shoes of a poor wretch and face the Wasteland first-hand.
Punkapocalyptic made the leap into the role-playing world thanks to the renowned author Robert J. Schwalb,
who acquired the licence to launch a game based on this world in English.
The system is a variant of the Demon Lord Engine, first introduced in the horror and fantasy role-playing game Shadow of the Demon Lord. Designed for characters to grow through an eleven-mission campaign, it will take them from the bottom to retirement with enough wealth to never have to risk their lives again.
With flexible character development, where you can greatly customise your PC thanks to the paths, and streamlined, no-nonsense rules, you can create a character in the blink of an eye to focus on what’s important (which is kicking arse).
“At the beginning of the 21st century, economic crises caused by water and fossil fuel shortages and ruthless speculation by major economic powers began to occur one after another… There came a point when general discontent was so high that the spark of rebellion ignited. There was war, slaughter, anarchy… entire countries were almost wiped out. The world was falling apart…”
Today, this is a land of mutants, gang members, scrap metal dealers, or anyone with a rusty weapon and a bad temper.”
