 CHARACTER CREATION & CORE RULES
1. Roll 3d6 for each Ability Score:
STRENGTH (STR) -fighting, fortitude, physical prowess, withstanding radiation.
DEXTERITY (DEX) - sneaking, athletics, reflexes, sleight of hand.
WILLPOWER (WIL) - persuasion, shooting, understanding ancient tech.
Then roll 3d6 as your Extra Roll. You may swap two of your rolls. After this, the
Extra Roll signifies your starting slugs (ammo & currency).
2. Roll d6 for your Hit Protection (HP) - a measure of how good you are at
avoiding life-threatening Critical Damage.
3. Roll a random Mutation & choose a Speciality, pick 1 weapon & 2 items.
4. Give your character a name & short description. You are ready for adventure!
Doing stuff. Roll d20 equal to or under appropriate Ability Score. 1 is always a
success & 20 always a failure. Only roll when the outcome is uncertain & a failure
is interesting. Someone with an Advantage or Disadvantage when attempting a
save or attack may get to roll an additional die of the same size, taking the better
or worse result, respectively.
Turns. If it’s unclear on who acts first, the player characters must pass a DEX
Save to be able to act before their opponents. On their turn, characters can move
& carry out one action, such as an attack.
Attacking. Roll the weapon’s Damage (dam) die or unarmed (d4), subtract the
result from target HP. Armor subtracts from Damage. If HP reaches 0, any
remaining Damage is removed from the STR score. A STR Save is then required to
avoid Critical Damage. Recover d6 HP after a short rest & some water or food.
Critical Damage. Roll d6 to see what gets chopped or blown off
1. K/O, 10 min 2. Terrible Scar! 3. Fingers, Toes, Teeth, Ear or Eye
4. Hand or Foot! 5. Arm or Leg! 6. Roll twice...
Death. A character dies at STR 0. At DEX 0 or WIL 0 the character is paralysed or
catatonic respectively. They cannot act until healed & must be carried to safety.
Attribute Loss recovers at 1 / day if recovering in a safe location.
Experience Levels & Character Improvement
After completing the requirements for the next Experience Level you may take
a short narrative break from adventuring to reflect on your experience in a safe
location. Gain 1d6 HP & roll d20 for each Ability Score. A roll higher than the
Ability Score increases it by one, to a max of 20. Then choose between 1 new
mutation (increasing the mutation die by one step) or 1 new speciality.
1. “Scrap Worm”
You are ready for your first Adventure.
2. “Ruin Crawler”
You have survived & returned from at least 1 Adventure to a dangerous place.
3. “Jungle Prowler”

5. “...“
You have established or seized control of a settlement & is the ruler of at least 50
mutants or creatures. Come up with a fitting title, worthy of your name.
MUTATIONS
Randomly select a mutation by rolling d6 twice - first to determine the table &
secondly to determine the specific mutation. To use a mutation, roll the Mutation
Die (d4). If the result is 1-2, decrease the die one size. 1-2 on a d4 means that it’s
spent until after a short rest, resetting it to its former size. By passing a relevant
Save, you may alter the effects of a mutation.
The duration of an effect is generally 10 min, multiplied by Experience Level.
