Description
The bombs fell. Nations wielded varied and monstrous weapons against one another. Fires, clouds of poison, and worse have swept the world. Now only the savage Wastes remain: haunted by mutants, deranged robots, and genegineered monstrosities. But from the fire, heroes and villains rise: tribals, survivors, mutants, all the warped remnants of Humanity. Armed with primitive weapons, pre-Collapse artifacts, and afflicted by strange mutations, they set forth to conquer the wastes, or at least to survive them. By spear and laser, they shall prevail – or die a horrible death.
Cepheus Atom is a lightweight role-playing game where players assume the roles of survivors exploring a sci-fantasy post-apocalyptic world. This is, as some people call it, a “gonzo” apocalypse – expect sentient mutant animals and plants!, death-ray guns, and wild mutations, rather than the grimmer darkness of a more realistic apocalypse. The rules are designed for fast, “beer and pretzels” play, where players roll dice and blow-up stuff between bites of pizza and sips of soft drink, all while enjoying an evening with friends.
All you need to play are this booklet, a few six-sided dice, writing supplies, and your wild, mutated imagination!
Cepheus Atom is compatible with Stellagama Publishing’s Barbaric! sword & sorcery rules. Bring dark sorcery to your post-apocalyptic wasteland! Pit your atomic survivors against mythical monstrosities! Arm your barbarians with laser rapiers!
