Found this at my local shop, picked it up and should be giving it a try here in a couple days. This is a very solid (short and succinct) piece of work that fans of Mothership should definitely give a try; it feels like a unique take and evokes The Last of Us level of psychology when playing. Great work!
I just have them use the normal 1d100-under-Lungs-over-Wet roll based on the damage chart. I'm pretty generous also with classifying some stuff (a fire axe, a baseball bat) as big weapons for the extra +5 or +10.
Hi there, I just bought this intriguing zine from my local game store and I just have a question which may be obtuse but I'm brand new to RPGs so bare with me...is there a GM for this game? Or does everyone just get to be a scavenger?
Thanks in advance for your time, looking forward to playing either way!
Yes! At least, that's certainly how I play it, and I wrote the book with a GM in mind. You could... probably...? play without a GM? But it'd be tricky for sure, it wasn't at all really how I planned it.
If you do try, though, I'd be super curious to know how it goes!
As someone living in Manila, which gets rains and floods half of the year, this is setting is familiar to me. Also easy to integrate to local games. Amazing game.
And it's a goddamn funny to read and hear "You get WET by getting wet."
I've been really interested in your posts about this game on your blog. At some point, could you release a de-pocketmodded version of the PDF, so I could read it more easily without printing it, and use it for online games?

Question- what damage do melee weapons do?

Good luck!
ok that makes sense, I thought so just wanted to make absolutely sure. Thanks so much for the reply (and the game!)

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoy it.

Yeah, that shouldn't be too difficult. Bug me in a couple days if I haven't posted something.
