UED: You Are The Resistance
 |
A game of science fiction¸ survival and glory.
An RPG about desperate combat and scarce resources.
A post-apocalyptic setting where the remnants of the human race¸ soundly defeated by an extraterrestrial invasion¸ try to survive in an age of snow and ice¸ to recover the technology of the past and to reclaim their home.
This RPG will take you to a cruel and bloody future where humans are no longer the dominant species on the planet.
Of all that remains of humanity¸ you are the resistance!
"It's very well done: good layout and smart graphic elements. The system's interesting and handles resources in a novel way. It also includes pre-gens and a sample adventure. Recommended." -- Lowell Francis¸ Age of Ravens
INSIDE THE BOOK
- The LOST DICE system. Every Attribute (from d4 to d12) has a Reserve of dice - each time you roll one¸ set it aside. Once they're all gone¸ you're out of resources. You need to get home or get to shelter and resupply. So choose your actions carefully.
- The 4 professions: play a Soldier¸ Mechanic¸ Researcher or Survivor. Each has special abilities that you can unlock as you go up in Rank.
- Improve your Haven. Your successes and failures determine the Morale back home. When things go well¸ you can upgrade your Haven's levels in Technology or Morale¸ which give you more and better supplies for future missions into the outside world.
- Optional advanced combat: an appendix containing more detailed rules on fighting and managing your environment suit's life support¸ detection and operational systems for groups that enjoy more crunch in combat.
- Print & play figure flats: 3 pages of cardboard minis - representing your Runners and the wild animals¸ human Renegades or alien Invaders they face¸ plus hex maps and terrain counters.
- Pre-generated PCs: five Runners ready to play¸ the Iron Fangs of ZION Haven.
- Introductory adventure: The First Mission. Your Haven's leading Runner team went out to contact another nearby settlement. Only one of them made it back - and he died before he could tell anyone what happened. Now it's time for you and your squad to step up and find out what went wrong.
UED: You Are The Resistance was a hit in Brazil's lively and diverse roleplaying scene. Now¸ thanks to this English-language edition¸ you can get in on the post-apocalyptic alien-fighting action without having to learn Portuguese!
UED is powered by the Lost Dice system¸ in which every roll you make means one die fewer in your reserves. The result is rising tension over the course of your mission¸ as you try to succeed and survive with dwindling resources.
You set out into the frozen wastelands with your team of Runners¸ with heated exploration suits and the best equipment your Haven can provide. You're carrying messages¸ searching for supplies or looking for a way to beat the Invaders. But the world of ice is a dangerous place and chances are you won't all make it home. Wild animals¸ human Renegades¸ the robotic Invaders¸ the biting cold - all of these could kill you.
