Year Zero Engine RPG by Bleating Deacons Adventure Club
300 Days
The war ended. Everyone lost.
The rich and powerful fled. The lucky ones died early.
What’s left of the old world rots. Borders and laws are gone. Settlements are stitched together by barbed wire and desperation.
People? They’re a liability, at best.
They smile through crooked teeth, offer a seat by the fire, and wait for you to fall asleep. The only thing more deadly than starving is trusting someone who isn’t.
You are not a hero. You are the mother who traded her last bullet for a moment of silence. You are the scavenger who checks every corpse for a can of peaches.
Scarcity and brutality are the norm.The strong prey on the weak. The weak are beholden to the strong. Hunger and fear makes monsters.
Survival is your only goal and death is coming.
300 Days is a survival horror TTRPG set in the aftermath of the cataclysmic events of the Second U.S. Civil War.
The game is based on the Year Zero Engine, and features a slim ruleset designed to be easy to learn and keep games moving.
The player characters are desperate survivors, grasping at their last shreds of humanity, in a hostile and wartorn version of the United States. They must survive by gathering resources, defending themselves from enemies, and evading natural hazards. It will take every ounce of their grit and determination.
This book is set in the central Rockies of Colorado. However, you might prefer a more familiar location. The ability to envision a lawless and brutal, postapocalyptic environment is the only requirement to build your 300 Days setting.
There are no zombies, global pandemics, or supernatural horrors. Just a bleak world in which everything that isn’t you is trying to kill you.
