After hundreds of expeditions into the free digital version, the gorgeous boxed physical edition of tabletop RPG The Zone is finally funding on Kickstarter as of today, September 27.
What is The Zone? The Zone is a tabletop RPG for 1-6 players about lost souls on a surreal play-to-lose journey to the center of an alien place that manifests their phobias and obsessions until everyone mutates and only one survives.
The game is inspired by Annihilation, Stalker, Roadside Picnic, and the SCP Foundation.
The team previews, “It’s a doomed journey for 1-6 players into a psychedelic place procedurally generated from character’s inner psyches, with unique play-to-lose mechanics that create an experience halfway between Annihilation and a tarot reading that only one player can survive. It’s incredibly accessible to beginners and designed to be played… in the dark.”
“This is a game about mutating deeply flawed characters to bring them face-to-face with their deepest phobias and obsessions. Characters are defined in just a few minutes from the thing they want most and their greatest fear, and every part of the game is designed to push a wedge into their psyche to confront them with who they really are….”
- Plays right out of the box with zero prep (in a 2-3 hours!)
- Each Zone is unique, co-created from characters’ Obsessions & Phobias
- It’s not a power fantasy. Predefined fates free up pure, horrible, creativity
- A ludicrously atmospheric experience that you can play in the dark
The CORE SET includes 50+ Scene cards, 30+ Not So Easy cards, 14 Fate cards, plus Holographic Foil Tarot sized cards for 40+ Locations, 40+ Motivations, and 7 Character Archetypes, as well as the Operation Manual and Facilitator cards.
