SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Hey there!
We're super excited to share that we're currently working on a new RPG called "When We Die," and it's now in Beta testing. We would absolutely love to hear your feedback, so please feel free to download the ruleset for free from DriveThruRPG. Thanks a bunch!



WHEN WE DIE
The world changed forever when LPS-B22 arrived. A bacterial infection that swept across the globe and killed 4 out of 5 of the world's population. Any of those infected who didn't die straight away were left in a mindless, shambling state, terrifyingly similar to the classic "zombie" of folklore. The media, and those survivors who avoided infection, called these zombies "vectors" (after the term "infection vector"), but quickly they became known just as vecks. Before long, people were calling LPS-B22 the Vector Plague.

The Vector Plague was the deadliest pandemic in human history. Despite all the government efforts to contain the outbreak, every measure they took failed. Nobody did what they were supposed to do. Total denial, refusal to take it seriously. Panic and chaos. Law and order vanished overnight.

GAME MECHANICS
When We Die uses a tactical narrative system that places success or failure directly in your hands. With a unique Resilience-based dice system, you decide whether it's worth using up your physical and emotional resources to ensure success; resources you may well need to survive the days ahead.

The core mechanics uses a pool of dice based on a character's abilities, with the player trying to roll as many 6's as possible. Didn't roll enough? That's OK – just spend Resilience and results of 4 and 5 can count as 6's. Just don't spend too freely... when you run out of Resilience, it tends to hurt!
