Dystopia Rising: Evolution
No one knows how long it’s been since the world was blasted with nuclear radiation and became infested with the undead. The survivors of the Fall were the first strain of deviation of the human condition and were able to make it through the rapidly spreading epidemic. Small communities come together in a world where concepts such as democracy, freedom, and government are newly reborn. Finding a community of decent size in this world is rare; finding one that has any concept of equality or morality is rarer still. Oh, and people have the unnerving ability to come back from the dead, regrown from the very virus that destroyed the world. The world is broken. It is up to you to pick up the pieces and make a new world from the remains of the old.
Dystopia Rising: Evolution is a gritty action-adventure survival game powered by Onyx Path’s Storypath system. It’s an update of the popular live-action setting, presenting a fresh and exciting take on the post-apocalypse genre, but even if you aren’t familiar with Dystopia Rising, everything you need is here in Evolution. That includes rules for creating characters for 24 different Strains, variations on humanity that survived the Fall; details on the powers of faith and psionics; advice on running action-adventure stories, webs of personal intrigue, and procedural investigations; and dozens of antagonists, including a variety of zombies and raiders to use in your series.
