Cepheus Atom
The bombs fell. Nations wielded varied and monstrous weapons against one another. Fires¸ clouds of poison¸ and worse have swept the world. Now only the savage Wastes remain: haunted by mutants¸ deranged robots¸ and genegineered monstrosities. But from the fire¸ heroes and villains rise: tribals¸ survivors¸ mutants¸ all the warped remnants of Humanity. Armed with primitive weapons¸ pre-Collapse artifacts¸ and afflicted by strange mutations¸ they set forth to conquer the wastes¸ or at least to survive them. By spear and laser¸ they shall prevail ‐ or die a horrible death.
Cepheus Atom is a lightweight role-playing game where players assume the roles of survivors exploring a sci-fantasy post-apocalyptic world. This is¸ as some people call it¸ a "gonzo" apocalypse ‐ expect sentient mutant animals and plants!¸ death-ray guns¸ and wild mutations¸ rather than the grimmer darkness of a more realistic apocalypse. The rules are designed for fast¸ "beer and pretzels" play¸ where players roll dice and blow up stuff between bites of pizza and sips of soft drink¸ all while enjoying an evening with friends.
All you need to play are this booklet¸ a few six-sided dice¸ writing supplies¸ and your wild¸ mutated imagination!
Cepheus Atom is compatible with Stellagama Publishing's Barbaric! sword & sorcery rules. Bring dark sorcery to your post-apocalyptic wasteland! Pit your atomic survivors against mythical monstrosities! Arm your barbarians with laser rapiers!
