A TTRPG that is easy to pick up and play, Embers of Humanity explores the lives of regular people after the world has ended.

“At some point in the not-too-distant past,technology stopped working. We call that day the Collapse. I’d love to tell you the whole story, but the internet was the first thing to go. I lost contact with everyone, I don’t even know what year it is anymore. I’m alive. I’ve found some friends and the sun still rises. But civilisation is just…gone, almost nothing works. I have no idea what I’m doing.”

Embers of Humanity is a game about regular people living through the end of the world. They scratch out a meagre existence living off the land, with the impotent ruins of modern society slowly rusting around them.

Using the flexible BRP system, Embers is easy to pick up and play, while still providing all the structure that beginners need in order to play a roleplaying game.

Play revolves around a small group of survivors who take charge of a settlement. These survivors head out into what’s left of the world in order to keep their community afloat. They may be gathering supplies, negotiating with others, battling it out against raiders or maybe just the deadly forces of nature.

At the end of each session, the Survivors return to their Settlement.The choices they make influence the settlement’s growth. Will they build a thriving town or become just one more group of raiders, scavenging amongst the ruins of civilisation?

Embers of Humanity is currently engaged in an open playtest. The version here will become the Starter Set. But for the moment it is entirely free.
