Embers of Humanity

Embers of Humanity is a community-funded hope-filled TTRPG about the end of the world. 

Designed to provides players and GM's with a clear and easy to use rules system, Embers should feel familiar to experienced tables, while accessible to new players.

 - Create your own apocalyptic conditions, or use the inbuilt setting or prompts to play exactly the way you want to.
- Rules and structure that massively reduces GM prep. Embers of Humanity can be run with zero GM prep between sessions.
- A simple Settlement system that invites players into the world building and gets them excited to return to the table.
- Empathy rules help players tell the story of their Survivors, as their outlooks change and shift over the campaign. 
- The Weird, an inexplicable, many-faceted problem that's linked to the end of the world. 
- A living system, with regular updates offered through community funding, including scenarios, supplements and settings. 

Who is this game for?

- Those already familiar with BRP & d100 systems will love how intuitive this system is.
- Players looking for a generic post-apocalyptic system that they can mould to their own setting.
- GM's that want to build a setting alongside the players as they play the game.
- OSR/NSR lovers looking for a new setting might just find that Embers scratches that itch. 

The System: powered by BRP, Embers is a d100 roll under system, with a classic GM role and is best for 2-6 players. 

The Setting: One day, the world just ended. Civilisation is gone and humanity has nearly vanished. Play as a Survivor, rebuilding from the embers. 

The Weird: Electronics no longer work, time is relative, and bubbles of Weird cover the world, containing inexplicable phenomenons and dangerous creatures. 

The Settlement: Build out a new home. Starting from nothing, build a house, a village, and maybe even a thriving town.
