Resilience – A tabletop Roleplaying game about pressure, survival and the weight we carry

Core Rulebook by Ariel H.M. Moyano

A Tabletop Roleplaying Game of Pressure & Survival

Imagine a day where everything that can go wrong, does.

You aren’t a space marine or a broadsword-wielding hero. You’re a tired mechanic, a teacher, a driver on a late shift, or a parent running on empty. You don’t need to save the kingdom; you just need to pick up a prescription, survive a sudden blackout, or drive through a blinding storm before you collapse.

Resilience is a rules-light, high-tension d6 roleplaying system about everyday people pushed to their absolute limits.

INSIDE THE MADNESS:

• The Spiraling Mind Engine: A unique 3D6 mechanic where your difficulty target scales directly with your total stress. As panic climbs, the margin for success shrinks, creating an unforgettable, heart-pounding feedback loop.
• Low-Crunch, High-Tactics: Combine your job, specialized knowledges, and proper tools to earn Automatic Successes and bypass panic entirely.
• Reserves of Clarity: Spend limited Focus Points to steady your hands or freeze time when everything around you falls apart.
• Peaceful Moments: Seek out quiet downtime with companions—share a cigarette, talk about a warm memory, or take five minutes to breathe and erase mounting tension.
• Burnouts & Trauma: Hitting your breaking point isn’t immediate death—it’s a raw emotional breakdown that leaves lasting psychological marks (phobias, social inhibitions) while forcing you to keep moving forward.

WHAT’S IN:

• Complete, scannable Core Rulebook formatted for effortless digital reading or printing both fancy and printer friendly.
• Distressed, print-ready A4 Character Profile Sheet both printer friendly and fashionable.
• Community-First License: The roleplaying world is never too crowded. Purchasing this digital copy gives you complete freedom to print and gift as many physical copies to friends, tables, or local shops as you see fit.

Dedicated to everyone fighting quiet battles against overwhelming stress every day. Take a breath. Roll the dice. Keep going.
