You could start with a cell phone, but how long will it stay charged? Who knows how long the cash in your wallet will be accepted as viable currency in light of the world’s ending? You might want a good shotgun to defend yourself, but that could mean venturing out of your friend’s apartment. Since you’re playing yourself in every game of The End of the World, your starting gear is also limited to what you can find close at hand when you sit down to play the game. Another character may have the Natural Leader positive feature, but this could be tempered by the Wants Revenge negative feature. For example, you may have the Long-distance Runner positive feature, but you may also cope with the Extremely Nearsighted negative feature. In addition to your chosen attributes, you can represent yourself more accurately by imagining positive and negative features. The End of the World line changes all of this by inviting you to play as yourself amidst the tumult of the world’s ending! You’ll use your own physical, mental, and social attributes to create yourself as an in-game character, allowing you to come as close as you (safely) can to experiencing the apocalypse first-hand. In the majority of roleplaying games, you take on the persona of a fictional character – ranging from a elven thief to a half-orc war-mage to a human soldier, and beyond. No matter which apocalypse you want to explore, you’ll find unending horror and adventure in this roleplaying game. Each of these books offers a complete self-contained experience, although they share the same rules system. When our technology develops consciousness, even normal people will need to battle technology in every form. Finally, Revolt of the Machines invites you to match wits against artificial intelligence. You may face a species of conquering warriors, or aliens too small to see with the naked eye.

The third installment in the line is Alien Invasion, giving you the opportunity to battle unknown life forms from beyond our galaxy. Ranging from the Mayan apocalypse to Cthulhu, the gods return to exact terrible vengeance in this book. The line continues with Wrath of the Gods, pitting players against a pantheon of supernatural foes intent of destroying humanity. The first book, Zombie Apocalypse, challenges you to face hordes of undead that rise and stalk the earth, hungry for the flesh of the living.


Each of these four books offers a different apocalyptic genre and experience. “Shoot it in the head – that works in the movies!” –A survivor who’s about to be very disappointedįantasy Flight Games is proud to announce the upcoming release of The End of the World, a new roleplaying game line of horror and survival in humanity’s last days!įour books make up The End of the World roleplaying game line.
