Ngenesis: the Trials of Flesh
A post-apocalyptic science fantasy RPG set in the far future where the player characters are modern gods called Ngen reawakened after ages of sleep to survive through the plagues of the apocalypse. The Ngen first appeared in the near future¸ using a mystic energy called the Pyur to become rulers of a thousand-year golden age. Then creatures of chaos and darkness called Hrongyr appeared¸ spreading contagion. The Ngen and their custodians retreated underground and went into hibernation to wait out the plagues. The player characters are Ngen newly awakened after an unspecified time¸ their custodians now missing. The game uses a dice pool system called the Providence system. In resolution¸ the player rolls a number of dice equal to skill rating (0 to 6) of a type based on attribute rating (from d2 to d12). The result is the highest die¸ modified by +1d6 (Fate Die) and -1d6 (Doom Die) and any modifiers for difficulty or other circumstances. A positive result is a success. The result is used as level of success¸ such as for damage in combat. There are 12 attributes¸ divided into 4 each for Mind¸ Body¸ and Soul. There are also about 50 skills divided among controlling attributes. - A description fromdarkshire.netwith kind permission of John H. Kim
