Strange Wreckage The Trial Book

"It resembled a mass grave until it started to move. This wasn't some crowd of people all huddled together, hiding from the Murk. Hunks of jutting metal bound them all together into one writhing mass. One fused together fiend. When it screamed from twenty mouths, all that rage was directed right at us."

-- Jo Riggs, member of the Wicked Wounded

Strange Wreckage is survival horror, GM-optional RPG that can be played solo or with up to four players. Players become Sentries, surviving a broken world by founding a camp and keeping it going long enough to find a way out of their doomed situation. The year is 1965, but the world isn't as you know it. A devouring cloud called the Murk covers most of the planet, while bands of strange creatures collectively known as Primal Forces and Cosmic Entities fight a war over what's left. Wreckage continues the general story and expanding greatly on the mechanics of my previous game, The Strange Manor.

This Trial Book is only a small taste of the in-progress RPG. It features the core character, enemy and NPC creation, with the starting rules and two replayable events to give you an idea of what's to come. Unlike most RPGs, these aren’t written with specific enemies and locations in mind. Rolling on a series of tables will fill out some details, but the true flavor of the campaign will be cooked up by the players or the GM themselves. The point of Strange Wreckage isn't to win or lose, but have a great tale to tell when it's all over.

A tale crafted by your own imagination.
