Furious Roads - Tricube Tales Edition
 |
At the end of the before-time¸ deadly fire scorched the earth. Salt flats¸ craggy canyons¸ sand molten to glass¸ and vast stretches of desert are all that's around you. Like toys dropped from a giant child¸ remnants from before dot the landscape. A rusted tanker in the middle of nowhere¸ its hull broke apart like a whale corpse burst open. Crumbling remains of structures¸ now repurposed as fortifications. And¸ like blackened fingers clawing at the sky¸ towers billowing dark clouds that still produce the thing everyone wants¸ no¸ needs to survive: Gasoline.
This one-page TTRPG uses the flexible Tricube Tales rules to tell stories about survivors on a ravaged earth after the apocalypse. Uses a simple d6 mechanic: If a player attempts something risky¸ they roll 1-3 six-sided dice and must equal or beat a difficulty of 4-6 on at least one die. There is some nuance and Karma to influence your dice¸ but that's the gist of it.
Strap in¸ drive¸ scavenge¸ steal¸ or barter for Stuff to survive. The wastes and the people that still live there are dangerous¸ and your only hope is to get out of this place to reach the verdant valley.
