Not Long For This World

Whether you’re being hunted by monsters, losing sanity in an abandoned asylum, sentient baked goods getting stale, or another creative, dire scenario, you are not long for this world. The best you can do is team up to fight the inevitable for as long as you can. 

Everyone should have a goal in mind, one final thing you need to accomplish before your demise.

You have 3 abilities, the names and effects should correspond with the genre.

Ex:
•Hunted: Strength, Agility, Intelligence
•Asylum: Courage, Denial, Sanity 
•Bread: Consistency, Calories, Flavor 

Assign one die (d4, d6, and d8) to each ability. In order to succeed a task imposed by the GM, roll a 4 or higher. If you succeed, nothing bad happens. 
If you fail, something terrible happens. Downgrade one of your dice to the next lowest die (minimum d4). If all dice are d4s and you fail again, that’s it, you’re dead. 

Player Conflict: Those disagreeing make an opposed ability roll.
•Inconsequential: No damage. 
•Destructive: Loser takes ability damage.

Optional Rules:
•Upgrade a stat that’s been damaged after rest. 
•Reroll a failure once per game.
•Items can provide a one-time +1 bonus.
