Core Rulebook by Zozer Games
Hostile Survivors, a narrative sci-fi survival roleplaying game.
Together with your fellow players, or even solo (yes there are rules for that too) using a rules-light approach you will throw your characters into life-threatening situations. From war to catastrophe, alien horror to orbital isolation; you’ll see how your characters cope when the certainties of life are stripped away.
Characters are created by reflecting on the triumphs and failures of their personal history embedded in the universe of Hostile, Zozer Games’ well-established gritty and utilitarian retro-future. With the help of a life-path system, your character grows before your eyes with each experience enhancing their abilities and forming their desires and viewpoints.
Use the environment around you, the tools you find (or make) and your ingenuity and wits. This isn’t a game about blasting alien horrors on a space colony, but more like hiding from the monster whilst figuring a way to get you and your badly injured comrade off the space station.
You are not superheroes or demi-gods, but ordinary people overcoming what appears to be impossible odds and making your stamp on the universe … or failing and dying in the cold depths of space. Scenario templates are included for a variety of survival situations.
Everything needed to play is included (except six-sided dice), but all of the Hostile rulebooks and supplements are compatible with this rules-light narrative variant.
Hostile Survivors is available through DriveThruRPG in PDF.
