Players have:
• 6d personal resource counter. Ticks down one at day’s end unless resources scavenged. Set to 6. Character dies when personal counter reaches 0.
• 4d daily radiation modifier.
Group has:
• 20d group resource counter. Ticks down # of players X1 at day’s end unless resources scavenged. Set to 3X # of players, this is the max (e.g. 5 players = 15 max, ticks down 5 daily). Everyone dies if group counter reach 0.
• 6d for scavenge and defense rolls.
Describe nuclear wasteland:
• Characters
• Setting/Map
• Enemy(s)
Outset of day, for group:
• Decide on location to explore and needed resources.
• All roll personal radiation modifier. Subtract from scavenge (irradiated brain fog). Add to defense (mutant strength).
Daily actions:
• Players scavenge once. Player describes scavenging. Roll 6d minus modifier. 2-5 = success.
• Success = player chooses. Hide resource (no personal tick down, add one instead) or contribute to group (first contributed scavenge = no group counter tick down. Second = uptick 1X # of players).
• If scavenge fails, group describes attack. Roll 6d plus modifier. 6+ = attack defended. 2-5 = attacker injures player (player ticks personal counter down one).
