Just Survive • 2017 rpg

The group defines the setting; the players just need to survive it.

Players roll a pool of D6 to overcome Obstacles that arise.
All characters begin with a pool of 3 d6.  Starting Resources are determined by backstory (3 or fewer).

Difficulty of checks is determined by the nature of the Obstacle:
Normal: 1 Success
Tough: 2 Successes
Hard: 3 Successes

A ‘Success’ is a result of 4 or higher.

Failing a roll removes a d6 from your pool.
Restore lost d6 by successfully helping others.

Players can co-operate and share 1 d6 - or turn their backs to save themselves.
If a roll is failed with a co-operator, the co-operator may volunteer their d6 be lost instead.

At character creation, players name a trait their character has. If that trait applies to a roll, they gain +1 bonus d6

Players may retrospectively expend a Resource to gain 1 bonus d6 - but must describe the Resource and how it is lost.

GM may award 1 Resource at their discretion on successes

If a character's pool reaches zero, they are gone forever.
A character may choose to sacrifice themselves to save another and donate their entire pool to aid another's roll.
