After Collapse Basic Rules
 |
A.C.: AFTER COLLAPSE (sometimes referred to as A.C. ) is a postapocalyptic role-playing game set at least 50 years after worldwide civilization has come to a slow¸ bitter end. Modern society had reached the point where most people wanted for little. Their wishes could be made real with the push of a button. Many diseases had been conquered. However¸ humanity's reliance on technology set the stage for its eventual descent into chaos.A.C. presents a detailed post-Collapse environment filled with opportunities for adventure and discovery. Characters¸ known as "Survivors¸" cautiously comb through the dangerous ruins of once-great metropolises. Salvagers compete with profit-hungry scavengers to find valuable loot. Intelligent machines may match wits with Survivors or help them to reach their goals. A.C.: AFTER COLLAPSE uses a d20-based architecture. Features include: a classless character generation system; a Character Point (CP) system that rewards players when they complete scenario and campaign goals¸ allowing them to improve attributes and acquire new skills; detailed rules for applying the effects of combat¸ radiation¸ and poison; a turn-based combat and action system; and guidelines for referees to develop their own scenarios and campaigns. Recommended for ages 14+.
