Sewer Rats (2d6 Engine)
Sewer Rats is a rules lite¸ narrative driven tabletop RPG and pure love letter to the mutant focused comic books¸ movies¸ and Saturday morning cartoons of the 1980s and 90s. It is dedicated to a world of gritty storylines and cheesy one-liners¸ where super heroes were trading out their capes for blasters and bad attitudes.
The Setting
In 1993 a giant wave of meta energy overtook the Earth¸ changing the course of the world forever. A small portion of the human population has evolved into something else entirely inhuman. Players take on the role of these mutants shunned by humanity and hunted by a villainous corporation known as Evolved Technologies Incorporated. The mutants¸ commonly known as Sewer Rats¸ strive to survive in a world that fears them. It will take cunning¸ guts¸ and a reliance on their fellow mutants to prevail.
The System
Sewer Rats uses a simple ruleset based on Tricky Troll Game's 2d6 Engine. The mechanics revolve around quick task resolution and heroic gameplay. When a character needs to take action the player rolls two six sided dice and adds their most relevant attribute. This simple¸ tried and true formula is front and center in the game's design¸ keeping gameplay light and fast.
