Project Affliction Playtest Version

Couldn't make it to GenCon 2016? Well, you can still participate in Ebon Gryphon Games' GenCan't playtest of our forthcoming zombie apocalypse RPG!

Why a new zombie RPG? Project: Affliction (our working title, subject to change) uses a system derived from the Effect Engine, giving you the combination of mechanics that will be familiar to players of d20-based games, coupled with modern-style features such as mental/social combat, a trait system, and survival points to assist in getting things done.

To this, we've added our Stages mechanic, designed to prompt players to have their characters actually behave like those in zombie apocalypse stories and films. They must progress from their initial Denial of the true extent of what's happening around them through three more stages, each with ten options for for how they affect the character.

The process of 'leveling up' is also tied into the Stages mechanic, so that characters grow because of their traumatic experiences in the zombie apocalypse, rather than simply through mowing down zombie hordes.

Included is:

• 3 pages describing the scenario for the GM
• 3 pages of playtest rules
• 40 stages cards for you to print and cut out
• 1 blank character sheet (form-fillable for convenience)
• 12 pre-made characters for the included scenario
• 1 relationship map showing how the pre-generated characters are related
