Waste World

Seit Herbst des Jahres ("98) ist übrigens in der Versenkung verschwunden. Beschreibung: Das Studium des Regelbuchs macht den Grundtenor des Spiels recht klar: GEWALT Kommentar: AFAIK gibt es zu den wichtigsten Städten noch die Quellenbücher¸ aber generell scheint der Verlag nicht so groß zu sein¸ kein Wunder ist ja auch aus der Tschechei.

A far-future post-apocalyptic RPG¸ set on a planet ravaged by ten millennia of total war¸ where five gigantic city-states (""metrozones"") are struggling over dwindling supplies of Drakonium¸ the ultimate energy source. The warfare has spawned mutation-causing weapons¸ bio-engineered plagues¸ robots turned amok by a computer virus¸ and a Galactic interdict trapping unpleasant aliens on the planet. Resolution is a simple d20+stat+skill+modifiers¸ where an 11+ succeeds. A roll of 1 fumbles¸ while 20 is roll again. Character creation is open point-bought. There are four attributes (Strength¸ Dexterity¸ Intelligence¸ and Psyche) rated -3 to +3¸ and skills rated 0 to 9 (divided into Easy¸ Normal¸ and Hard). Combat bases damage on the degree of success¸ with a possible multiplier and/or additive bonus. It also has hit location and critical hits. cf. Mark Hughes' Waste World resources. - A description from https://darkshire.net/jhkim/rpg/encyclopedia/ with kind permission of John H. Kim
