Survive - Resource Management Variation for DeScriptors RPG
An add-on system for resource management & survival-horror in DeScriptors. Get the core rules for free at DeScriptorsRPG.com.
DeScriptors' transformational character arcs are already a resource management system of a sort¸ as you balance success and failure to discover who your character becomes. Now it's time to do so under penalty of death¸ delirium¸ dismemberment¸ or...some other D words¸ probably!
Survive adds resource tracks to your DeScriptors characters¸ which will ramp up the tension as you run low on food¸ supplies¸ money¸ or whatever's important to your setting of choice. A simple dice + time interval system ensures the heat is on! Meanwhile¸ the players can rely on a homebase (if they can safeguard it!) or go scrounging for more resources (at the cost of gaining new adjectives to ensure later success!)...but that's only a temporary solution!
BETA VariationNOTE: These rules are in BETA and are offered as Pay What You Want. Enjoy it for free¸ if you'd like! That said¸ once we make $25 off this release¸ we will incorporate these rules into a setting (or several) with loads of examples and options¸ including a potential DeScriptors: Horror variant. This also ensures the system will be playtested¸ finalized¸ and published in a future DeScriptors book!
