The Rustbelt: tales of tenacity¸ depravity¸ and hope
A post-apocalyptic roleplaying game inspired by The Stand¸ The Road¸ and the Mad Max films. It is set in a future where a mystical power known as The Rust that corrupts everything has destroyed civilization. It uses a dice pool system where characters have three pools - Blood¸ Sweat¸ & Tears - that are called upon to push failed rolls into successes. There are no skills¸ but there are eight attributes: Tough¸ Savvy¸ Grizzled¸ Slick¸ Thorough¸ Personable¸ Cagey and Uncanny. It also includes a number of descriptive psyche traits including Hunger (i.e. desires)¸ Vice (habits to fall back on to cope)¸ Faith (they believe in) and Woe (things they regret). - A description fromdarkshire.netwith kind permission of John H.
