Rubble & Ruin (BRP)
A World Gone Mad With Killing
It is twenty years after the end of the global wars. Our world lies in ruin. Once-great cities are now nothing more than shattered hulks populated with bioengineered soldiers¸ giant rats¸ and rogue robots. This is the world of Rubble & Ruin¸ a setting inspired by the classic post-apocalyptic fiction of the 1970's and 80's¸ where players take the role of prospectors searching the rubble for surviving technology.
Here you'll find a description of the ruined city and its denizens¸ a bestiary¸ information on hostile elements¸ common trade goods¸ and sample gangs. Character generation includes six cultures¸ seven new races¸ and a section for biomodifications¸ cybernetics¸ nano-psionics¸ and dozens of new failings. Spot Rules for barter¸ firearms¸ the building of and fighting from cars¸ and the prospector's best friend; the common dog. Also includes two full-length adventures.
