What is this?
Following in the tradition of the popular SURVIVE THIS!!
Zombies! and SURVIVE THIS!! Dark Places & Demogorgons,
comes a new tabletop roleplaying game that is inspired by a
combination of the original 1970s Fantasy Roleplaying
game, the dark imagination of classic pulp writers and the
world of paranormal & occult investigation media.

Survive This!! What Shadows Hide takes place in the

modern world as we know it, but this world is filled with
dangers that the typical person knows nothing about.
Space aliens, international organizations, blood-sucking
monsters, demons, angels, vampires, were-beings, evil
corporations, inter-dimensional beings, creatures of
mythology and legend all inhabit the shadows of the world
and other neighboring dimensions. Some of them wish to
remain hidden, to live their lives in seclusion without
interference by man. While other entities wish to extend
their control and shadowy domains over the world of
mankind.

While playing this game, in addition to making sure one’s

body stays alive and kicking, a character must also keep
their mind from slipping into eternal madness, by keeping
the creatures of lost alien worlds and the darkest shadows
from destroying their psyche. If a character accumulates
enough Madness points, they lose their minds and are
considered as gone as if they were disintegrated by a fireball
or eaten by alien entity.

In this game, you can create adventures and campaigns

based on many different play styles and the type of game in
which you wish to immerse yourselves. Here are some
possible ways to run SURVIVE THIS!! What Shadows Hide.

4
-As a group of paranormal investigators that have seen too many
TV shows about the ghosts and bigfoot and wish to prove their
existence to skeptical world.

-As a group of secret agents that seek to defend the world from
alien influence, all the while attempting to maintain their hidden
agenda.

-As an evil cult that is attempting to awaken a dark power to

dominate the world.

-As adventurers seeking lost relics, ancient alien ruins,

cryptozoological beasts or unknown civilizations of humanoids.

-As a group of players that are hellbent on annihilating, or

preserving, a previously unknown race or type of creatures. i.e.,
ghosts, aliens, elves, vampires, monsters, etc.

-As a collective of people that are initially unprepared for a world

of conspiracy and horror, and are trust into that world. Perhaps a
group of scholars searching some ancient ruins? Or some
lumberjacks and forestry agents that discover giant footprints near
their worksite? Or group of college kids camping in the deep woods
that see a floating light in the sky? Time to sink or swim!

-As a team of special powered beings, or simply non-humans, that

have escaped a government or organization that was performing
horrible tests upon them. Now you seek to keep your distance from
them, or perhaps you wish to take out revenge upon your
tormentors?

-As a team of mercenaries that offer protection from the

supernatural for a handsome fee. Or a well-armed team that hunts
down unusual beings for profit.

-Feel free to add other Survive This!! games to your game to add
some extra excitement. See how teen investigators, zombie
hunters, superheroes, anthropomorphs or fantasy warriors would
do in this world shrouded in darkness.

Whichever type of group you wish to run, remember to have a

good time and enjoy gaming with your friends.

THE BASICS
What is a roleplaying game? Great question! A
roleplaying game is a game that is played by a small group
of people, usually around a kitchen or living room table,
that involves several “players”. Players take their
characters through a world and scenario created by the
Game Master, or GM for short, and roleplay or often do
battle with a villain or monster. If the players are
successful or to reach a goal, they are rewarded by
advancing their character also known as “Leveling up”.

What do I need to play?

Not a lot really. You will need some paper and a pencil/
pen, this handbook, a group of friends and a set of
roleplaying dice. These dice can be picked up at your local
hobby store or a variety of online shops. A standard set
include 1 four-sided die, 1 six-sided die, 1 eight-sided die, 2
ten-sided die, 1 twelve-sided die and 1 twenty-sided die.
Sets are very inexpensive; usually less than $10. But most
important of all, you will need your imagination. Do not
forget that!

Some terms that you will quickly become familiar with are:
GAME MASTER or GM: This is the person who is
responsible for creating a world for you to play in. The GM
should be thought of as the “One with the plan”. The GM
should have a good understanding of the rules and the
mechanics and be able to answer any questions a player
might have. If you are ever unsure about what to do, the
GM should be able to provide guidance.

6
PLAYER: Hey, that is you! The players are the people the
GM creates the world for to enjoy. A player is not to be
confused with a Character. A Character is who the player
controls in the game. It may be easier to think of this as
your “in-game Avatar”. Furthermore, during game play it is
okay for one Character to disagree or even be mad at
another Character, but you would not want one player to be
mad at another player; remember we are all playing this
game to have fun!

DICE REFERENCE: In this book, you will begin seeing

over and over what is referred to as dice reference. An
example would be: 1d6 (or d6). What this refers to is what
type of die you will roll and how many times you will roll it.
The example of 1d6, means you will roll 1 six-sided die, 1
time and the total would be the number that lands face-up
on the die. If you were to see 3d6, then you would roll 3
six-sided dice once (adding the dice totals together) or roll
one six-sided die 3 times for the total.

7
Getting Started
All roleplaying adventures truly begin at character creation.
This is where you shape and mold your character into the
person that you are going to be portray in the game world.
If you have any questions during this process, your Game
Master will be able to assist you.

To start you will need some paper, the before mentioned

roleplaying dice set and a pencil. Start in pencil as you
may be changing or adjusting things during this process
and may require some erasing on your behalf.

Use the blank character sheet to serve as a guide as you

create your character. Each player can lay out their
character sheet however it makes the most sense to them
but if this is your first time, we recommend copying this
template verbatim.

Have fun and be creative! Feel free to use classes, gear and
adversaries from other Survive This!!! games to spice up
your campaigns.

8
ATTRIBUTES
Each character at their core are a collection of 7 Attributes. These
Attributes are STRENGTH, INTELLECT, WISDOM, DEXTERITY,
CONSTITUTION, CHARISMA & SURVIVAL.

To determine your character’s Attributes, you will roll 4 six-sided dice or

4d6 (dropping the lowest single number) and record the total of the three
remaining dice, giving you a score of 3-18. You will do this a total of 7
times. Then you can assign and record your scores on your character
sheet as you desire. Normal people may not have attributes over 18. If
any of your Attributes drop to 0 or below, the character is considered Out
of Action.

ATTRIBUTE CHECKS
When a character must make an Attribute Check, they roll a d20 to see
if they are successful. If their roll is equal to or lower than the applicable
attribute, they are successful. If the attribute is 20 or higher, they can
still fail on the roll of a 20. A GM can always modify these checks based
on the environment, current game conditions or out of pity for their
players. For example, if it is foggy outside, perhaps any Spot check would
incur a negative modifier due to the conditions.

ATTRIBUTE MODIFIER TABLE

ATTRIBUTE DESCRIPTION MODIFIER
3 Pitiful -3
4-5 Below Average -2
6-8 Minimal Average -1
9-12 Average 0
13-15 Average Plus +1
16-17 Above Average +2
18-19 Optimum +3
20-21 Super Human +4
22-23 Super Human +5
24 Super Human +6

STRENGTH
Strength represents the character’s ability to lift heavy items, bend bars,
break free, force open stuck or locked doors and pull themselves or others
up who may be hanging from something.
The Strength modifier gives the character a bonus/negative when
attacking hand to hand, with a thrown weapon or with a melee weapon.

10
INTELLIGENCE
Intelligence represents the character’s smarts and wit, the ability to use
and understanding of technology and problem-solving capabilities.
All characters can speak and read their native tongue and also receive 1
additional language for each INT modifier. They also receive 1 extra skill
point at each level for each INT modifier (including 1st Level).
WISDOM
Wisdom represents the character’s insight, perception, and judgment.
Each character adds their WIS modifier to their Spot & Listen checks.
Any character with a WIS score of 13 or higher gains 1 additional
Experience Point per play session.

DEXTERITY
Dexterity represents the character’s ability to move easily on unsteady
terrain, reflexes, nimbleness and precision during combat.
The Dexterity modifier bonus gives the character a bonus/negative to
Armor Class, ability to hit with a ranged weapon and the character’s
Initiative roll.

CONSTITUTION
Constitution represents the character’s overall health and toughness,
showing how long a Character can maintain a physical activity before
rest is required.
The Constitution modifier gives the character a bonus/negative to Hit
Points at the beginning of each level.

CHARISMA
Charisma represents the character’s natural ability to lead a group, to
intimidate or to charm another and Character’s appeal to others.

The Charisma modifier bonus gives the character a bonus/negative to

Intimidate/Charm and a bonus to Persuade others.

SURVIVAL
Survival Points represents a player’s in game ability to re-roll a failed
attempt on a dice roll at the cost of 1 Survival point per reroll. Each
failed dice roll can only be re-rolled once. If the player fails again, then
the player must take the second roll as final (even if the second roll is
less advantageous then the first failure) and cannot spend another
point to re-roll.

There is no limit as to how many Survival Points can be spent per

gaming session up to the character’s Survival point score. However,
Survival points are only recovered at 1 point per gaming session, so
spend them wisely.
It is recommended to use 5 Survival Points in a one-shot adventure.

11
HIT POINTS
HP is a character’s life. To determine a character’s starting Hit Points (HP),
simply roll 2d6 plus the Constitution Bonus Modifier. If the total rolled is less
than 5, adjust the character’s starting HP to 5. If a character reaches 0 HP they
are considered Out of Action and are unconscious until healed. See p. 13

Each time a character increases in Level, add 1d6 plus Constitution Bonus
Modifier to the character’s total HP.

HP are lost as the character takes damage during the course of a session but
can be regained with rest. Resting for 4 hours will regain 50% of your HP
(rounded up). While resting for 8 hours will bring the character back to full HP.

Mending Wounds
At the GM’s discretion, after combat, a character can attempt to Mend Wounds
on another Character, restoring d4 HP. This requires 5 minutes of
uninterrupted concentration to perform and can only be done once per day.
Note: A character cannot perform this on herself.

SAVING THROWS
Saving Throws give Characters a second chance where they would normally suffer
devastating (possibly life ending) effects. Each Character has 6 Saving Throws:
COURAGE, CRITICAL, DEATH, MAGIC, MENTAL & POISON.

To determine the Character’s starting number for each Saving Throw, simply roll
4d4 and add the Character’s Constitution modifier. Each time a Character
increases in Level, the Character gains 2 additional Saving Throws points that
can be distributed among the 6 Saving Throws to a maximum score of 18.

In determining a successful Save, the player simply rolls d20 and attempts to roll
under or tie the corresponding Saving Throw score. If the player rolls higher, they
fail the save. Rolling a 20 is an automatic failure.

COURAGE* saves are rolled when a character's morale is challenged or when a

character encounters a dangerous obstacle or for the first time. Every time a
Character fails a Courage save, they receive a cumulative +1 to all future
Courage saves against the same adversary or occurrence. Failed Courage
checks require rolls on the Failed Morale table on p. 161. For every point of
Courage, a Character has above 12, they get a +1 to Terror checks.

*Whenever a Character encounters a monster for the first time, or if they have
never made a successful Terror Check against them, they must attempt a
Terror Check (p. 160)

A Game Master, or player, may wish to keep a list of creatures the players have
encountered in the past and have overcome any fear they have toward them
(i.e., passed a Courage or Terror check against).

12
CRITICAL saves are rolled when a character takes 50% or more damage from
their maximum HP in a single attack. If the Critical Injury save is successful,
then the character suffers only the HP loss with no other negative impact.
However, if the character is unsuccessful then the character losses all bonuses
and is at a -4 on all die rolls for 12 hours (or until healed to Max HP).

DEATH saves are rolled when a character sustains damage taking them below
1 HP. When a character is reduced to zero Hit Points (HP) they are taken Out
of Action (OofA), they are unconscious and cannot make any Actions. When
the fight is over, or the party is out of danger, a character that is taken OofA
can roll on the table below to see what happens to them. If they survive, they
regain 1d4 HP. If the characters lose the fight or are unable to recover the body
of the character, they are lost forever!

OUT OF ACTION
1 – KO’d Just knocked out, 2d4 Minutes.
2 – Concussed Suffers Disadvantage for the remainder of the game session
unless Magically healed or healed to at least ½ their starting HP.
3 – Cracked Bones STR, DEX and CON are temporary -2 for 48 hours or
until Magically healed.
4 – Crippled STR or DEX is permanently reduced by 1.
5 – Disfigured CHA reduced by 2, permanently.
6 - Dead You sadly kick the bucket.

MAGIC saves are rolled against certain magic spells or effects. Non-Damage
inducing spells, if the save is successful, the character suffers no ill effects
(unless, otherwise noted in the spell description). For damage inducing spells, if
the save is successful, the character takes half-damage (rounded up). However,
if the character fails their roll, they succumb to the full effect or influence of the
attack.

MENTAL saves are rolled when a character's will power is tested or their mind
is assailed by a psionic attack. If the roll is successful, they suffer no ill effects
(unless otherwise noted). However, if they fail, they succumb to the full effect or
influence of the attack.

POISON saves are rolled when a character inhales or ingests poison of any kind
including those from animals, contaminated food, medicine or gas. If the
Poison save is successful, then the character suffers no ill effects. However, if
the character fails the Poison save then she succumbs to the effects of the
poison.

NPC SAVING THROWS

NPCs, unless otherwise noted, have a generic Saving Throw for each save. The
base save is 8 + their hit dice (with a maximum of Saving Throw of 18).

13
ALIGNMENT (Optional)
Your alignment is just a basic indicator of your behavioral
leaning. Select one of the alignments that most represents
your character. This does not force the character to act in an
absolute way, but they should lean toward their alignment
more often than another alignment.

Righteous- You think you are morally better than most

others, based mostly on a reason you find justified.

Law– You tend to behave the laws and treat others well.

Neutral– You live right down the middle, avoid major

conflicts unless necessary.

Anarchist- Anything goes for you, usually as long as you can

avoid the consequences of your random behavior.

Evil- You are morally broken and prefer to mingle with those
that are equally broken.

14
RACES
The vast majority of “people” on Earth are humans, but a
small minority of creatures are of alien origins, or of long
forgotten, ancient bloodlines. These beings generally hide in
the shadows, stay underground or live in isolated regions of
the Earth. Occasionally, a renegade will appear that
chooses to attempt to live in the human world. Some wish
to destroy or conquer it, while others feel a kinship with life
and wish to protect this realm.

There is a large underworld, unknown to most people, that

can be found in most major cities that is inclusive to non-
humans. Although, they also may carry regional biases.
Many more races will be added in future books. Feel free to
use races from other SURVIVE THIS!! books.

Dimensional Forsaken
Doppelgangers
Fairies
Ghosts
Ghouls
Greys
Half Mer-men
Humans
Jari-Ka
Negator

15
Dimensional Forsaken
Occasionally, a being will be summoned to, abandoned on, or
randomly appear on Earth. These outsiders vary in appearance,
and in attitude towards the creatures of their new home. The
Dimensional Forsaken simply may just wish to be left alone, or
they may become the saviors of the world, or its destroyers.

Throughout history many of the Dimensional Forsaken have

come from similar worlds and have been catalogued by various
agencies. These listed below have appeared often on Earth and
can be found in some numbers in certain areas. So far, none of
the discovered Forsaken have any detailed memories of their
home world, even their native languages, making their origins
still a mystery.

All Dimensional Forsaken are considered Outsiders, but they

cannot be banished or expelled from Earth by spells and abilities.
Although, they can be harmed by them if they cause damage or
other effects.

Diabolic Shusher
One of the most enigmatic of the Forsaken races, Diabolic
Shushers have a gaunt, devilish, human-like appearance and
they have a constant urge to manipulate others. Shushers often
seek roles in political, business or social groups, where they can
wield power to control the destinies of others. Some of them seek
to aid humanity, while others clearly seek to subjugate mankind.
Diabolic Shushers and Those from Below tend to hate one and
other.
Features: Thin humans with devilishly attractive features.

16
17
Serapha
The most human-like of the Forsaken, Serapha have an angelic

Those from Below
These Forsaken appear as what most people would call demonic
or devilish humanoids. Their skin is often a shade of grey or red,
with jet black hair atop their heads. Each of them has a pair of 9”
curved horns on the top of their head. These Forsaken tend to be
strong-willed and stubborn, but are often known to be loyal to
those that show them respect. Many Forsaken work in the field
as agents on top secret, subterfuge missions. Diabolic Shushers
and Those from Below tend to hate one and other.
Features: Horns and demonic features.
Alignment: Any
Base Move: 12
Bonuses: +2 to CON, Toughness +1, Toughness: Fire/ Heat +4,

Doppelgangers
Doppelgangers are a very rare race that

every civilization in world history. They
naturally appear as an androgynous, tall,
thin albino human that has the ability
to change their shape and face at will.
Features: They are gaunt in body,
taller than normal, with white or
silver hair. Their eyes are naturally
bright blue.
Alignment: Any.
Base Move: 15
Bonuses: +2 to CHA, -1 to CON, -1 to
Critical save stat, Dark Vision 60’

*Shapeshift: Doppelgangers can change their shape to any

humanoid creature they have seen in person and is within
+/- 2’ of their height. It takes 2 actions to change unless
you have touched that person before (then it takes a free
action). Those seeing this shapeshift, before it is complete
for the first time, must make a Courage check. If they fail,
they roll on p. 161.

It takes a d4 rounds to get the voice copied, once they have

heard the voice. If they are familiar with the
voice, it takes ½ the time (rounded down).
Languages: Select 1
Lifespan: Starting age 15+, Maximum 125 years
Size: 5’ 6” – 7’, 7’ 1/2” Maximum

20
 Fairies
Seldom seen in the world of man, Fairies are an
ancient race of small, winged Fey that have a
very magic nature. Fairies have a curious
nature, yet are generally shy around non-Fey
creatures. These fairies have the ability to
change shape or turn invisible for a brief
amount of time under the correct
circumstances.

developed humans or elves.
Alignment: Any, but most often Neutral

them to instantly change shape into any form for 10
minutes per level + 5 minutes per CHA modifier. This shape
change may be into any form that the fairy has seen in
person and is no more than 7’ tall and up to 400 lbs. While
morphed, the fairy retains their attributes and does not
gain the abilities of the creature they are morphed into,
except for the creature’s Terror stat.

**Invisibility: After failing a Courage or Terror check, a

Fairy will turn invisible until they pass their next Courage
or Terror check. After which, for the next 5 minutes, they
may turn Invisible as a Free Action.
Languages: Fey and 1 other
Lifespan: Starting age 6+. Maximum 350 years
Size: 1’ – 2’ Average, 2 ½’ Maximum

21
Ghosts
You are the rare ghost of a deceased human that has
become anchored to Earth. Although, you can travel all over
the galaxy and to other dimensions, you feel compelled to
stay on Earth for some reason.

Each Ghost has a troublesome reason for being anchored to

Earth and will be set free from their ghostly form upon
resolution of the problem. The player or GM may come up
with the reason and resolution. Sadly, ghosts cannot get
rune-tattoos.

Features: You are intangible and can appear as yourself as

you were at any time in your life. You can also alter the
“clothing” you appear to be wearing. You are invisible to
anyone that cannot see ghosts. You may spend 1 SUR point
to become visible to a specific person, or persons, within
sight for up to 10 minutes. Ghosts can see other ghosts.

may deliver “touch” attacks for abilities. You have no STR
or CON. Immunity to normal weapons (Magic & Psionics
damage as normal, Silver does ½ damage). Ghosts can
touch and harm each other.
Ice Touch: Does no damage, but a successful attack causes
the target to have -2 to the Courage save stat for 1 hour.
Limited Telekinesis: You can lift 5 lbs. (per level) at will.
Languages: Languages known in life
Lifespan: Immortal. If a Ghost goes to 0 HP, roll on the

23
Ghouls
Ghouls are terrifying humanoids that live off the flesh of
their victims. They gradually take on a monstrous
appearance of a slowly deforming, bipedal creature, that
eventually forms a stench of death. They can be any race,
but they have the horrible affliction of ghoulism (they start
out appearing as if a fresh corpse, that slowly rots away,
but does not age).

Unlike their undead brethren, this race of ghouls are living

beings, but they feel at home among the dead. They
generally prefer a solitary existence, but will group up for
various means. Ghouls cannot be Ghosts, Were-beasts or
Vampires
Features: Slowly degrading humanoid form, with sharp
teeth, small claws and small talons. If they eat regularly,
they will not begin to decay and will still look freshly dead,
almost normal. They are Supernatural beings.
Alignment: Any, but Righteous.
Base Move: 12
Bonuses: -2 to CHA
Abilities: Retain previous racial abilities (not attribute
bonuses), *Hunger, Dark Vision 60’, Toughness +1,

(anything that has passed in the last 12 hours) &
Advantage on Tracking attempts of the Undead.
Magic & Psionics: Due to their Undead nature, Ghouls
cannot get Rune Tattoos or cast spells. Ghouls may be
Psions, but they cannot take the following powers: Bio-
Healing, Collaborate & Mind of the Divine. They also take
an additional 1 damage from using Force of Will.
Languages: Previously known languages
Lifespan: You do not age.
Size: As previous race.

24
*Hunger
You must eat ¼ of your body weight in recently dead
humanoid flesh (1 day old or less) every 36 hours. If you fail

*If you roll on the chart 10 times, the Stench’s area becomes 60,’ and the CON
check is made at Disadvantage.

25
Greys
Greys are a race of aliens from Zeta Reticuli. They have two
distinct factions that have different philosophies and means
of interacting with other worlds. The Greys have secretly
been aiding Earth agencies since 1947, while “The Probers”
work in the shadows, abducting people for their own
nefarious means. Greys are usually stern and serious, but

huge black eyes, small noses and a tiny mouth. They do not
speak aloud, but all use telepathy. They can cast spells

Half Mer-Man
These unfortunate souls are produced when a Mer-Man of
the Deep impregnates a human woman, or when a Mer-
Woman copulates with a human man. These offspring are
shunned by the Deep Mer-Men and are returned to the
surface world to fend for themselves.
These offspring appear as normal humans, with often
hidden gills and long nails, that are often drawn to the sea,
although they can survive in the water as well as they can
on land.

Humans
Humans have been the dominant species on Earth for the
past several thousand years. They have settlements all over
the planet and in every environment, showing that they are
very adaptable and fast learners. However, many of them
are greedy, destructive and they tend to be distrustful of
those that deviate from their idea of normal.
Rarely, some humans are born that seem to be effectively
immortal and do not age past a certain time. Their tale will
be told in another tome.

Jari-Ka (Mummies)
The ancient and secretive race, known as the Jari-Ka, are a magically
created Undead that can live forever, but at a great cost. Jari-Ka are
created when a human willingly gives up their life in a grand ceremony,
where they are mummified and entombed for decades, or maybe
centuries. If they survive with their mind intact, they become Undead
with great powers. Those that succumb to insanity during the process
become Mawt-Om.

Jari-Ka feed off of magic and psionic energies, both of which are not
common place in most of the world. They fatigue easy if not constantly
feeding and they move slower than most other humans. The magic
necessary to create a Jari-Ka is quite rare and expensive, so they only
create new members if their numbers are dangerously low or if they feel
if their Circle is threatened. Lone Jari-Ka are very rare, but are known
to exist.

30
Features: Jari-Ka originated in Ancient Egypt and spread to a few areas
of the world, where each Circle formed. Jari-Ki can be created from any
human. They are Supernatural beings.
Jari-Ka Biology:
- Jari-Ka have a poor constitution, making them tire often, forcing them
to absorb magic or psionic energy from living things or enchanted
items. If they do not feed once a week, they must enter the Empty Sleep
for at least a month.
While sleeping, they wear wraps enchanted with an expensive
alchemical liquid that rejuvenates their powers. These wraps are
provided to Jari-Ka that are members of a Circle, making it difficult for
rogue Jari-Ka to afford the wraps. Entering the Empty Sleep without
wraps will leave you vulnerable, and it will take at least a month to
heal.
-If they go to 0 HP, they are knocked Out of Action, but they continue to
regenerate. If they reach 1 HP before the end of the encounter, they
reawaken. If they remain below 0 at the end of the encounter, then
they must make a Death save, adding 1 to the roll for each point below
0 HP they are. If they fail, they die and disintegrate into sand.
-They lose biological functions (they have no organs), but they magically
appear to have respiration and give off a slight honey-like smell. They
do not breathe.
-They lose natural life, becoming Undead. Animals they are not
empathic with will treat them as hostile and will tend to avoid Jari-Ka.
Undead are immune to Poisons, Stuns, being Sickened, Diseases &
Critical Hits. Jari-Ki are prone to mind-affecting effects. Select 1 Jari-Ka
Path & your Circle (p. 175).
Alignment: Any, but rarely Righteous.
Base Move: 10
Bonuses: +3 to STR, +2 to CHA, +2 to INT or WIS, -6 to CON, +3 to the
Mental save stat, +3 to Magic save stat, +2 HP at each even level
Abilities: Dark Vision 60’, Toughness +1, they take ½ damage from
Magic & Psionic abilities rounded up, Regenerate 1 HP at the end of
each other round. Select a Path & a Circle (see p. 175).
Feed upon magic or psionics: As a full round action of touching the
item, Jari-Ka can absorb the magic or psionic energy from a living
entity or object. Living creatures get a Death save, adding the Jari-Ka’s
level to their roll. If they fail, the Jari-Ka drains them of a d6 HP. This
heals the Jari-Ka that many HP. A Jari-Ka must drain their maximum
HP in energy within a week to avoid falling into the Empty Sleep.
Draining an object will destroy it 25% of the time (relics and powerful
items may have greater resistance).
Weaknesses: Fire. Fear of Cats. You start with a d4 Madness.

Jari-Ka Paths

was selected for them. Each character gains all Jari-Ka
abilities and their path abilities.

Negator (Human)

and psionic abilities. You also do not believe in this paranormal

The deceptive race of aliens, known as the Reptilians, have
infiltrated the planet, taking prominent positions in many
companies and governments. It is clear they seek to conquer the
planet to strip it of its minerals and to terraform it into one giant,
sweltering jungle. Reptilians wear a prosthetic skin and contacts

Size: 5’-7’ (6’ average)
Vampire
Vampires are a forsaken race of creatures that have been cursed, or
blessed, to live in an undead state. They are undead creatures that
retain their personality, but acquire an aversion to light and silver,
and develop the need to feed on the blood of the living. The older a
vampire gets, the more powerful it becomes.

Vampires are created when a vampire attempts to turn their victim

by biting them and only partially exsanguinating them. A fully
exsanguinated victim dies, but a partially drained victim may
become a vampire. See p. 41.

Features: They retain the features of their previous race. Most

Vampires are human, but they can be of other races. They cannot
be ghosts or were-beasts. Vampires slowly become paler and grow
retractable fangs and claws. Vampires tend to be more attractive
and appear fit.
Vampires lose:
-The ability to eat or drink anything, except living blood. If you do
not drink blood once a week, you become ill (see p. 40).
-They lose all-natural body & biological odors. Cannot be Tracked by
scent.
-They lose natural life, becoming Undead. Animals you are not
empathic with will treat you as hostile and will tend to avoid you.
Undead are immune to mind-affecting effects (except Madness),
Poisons, Stuns, being Sickened, Diseases & Critical Hits. You do not
breathe.
Alignment: By Lineage.

Languages: 1 Human Culture Language
Lifespan: Immortal.

Vampires Leveling
As Vampires level in their class, they also level in their Vampire
powers. This makes them very powerful, but they can easily be
balanced within the game, due to their weaknesses.

Vampire Illness Table
If you fail to drink blood once a week, you begin to feel negative
effects. Negative effects are accumulative. Exsanguinating a living
humanoid, or large animal, will negate all non-permanent,
negative effects and satiate your hunger.
One week without blood: Make a Death save at Disadvantage. If
you fail, you feel weak (your save stats are at -3 each and your
attacks and skill checks are made at -2). If you pass, you take no
ill effects.
Two weeks without blood: Make a Death save at Disadvantage.
If you fail, you feel very weak (your save stats are at -4 each and
your attacks and skill checks are made at -3). If you pass, you
are at -1 to all attacks, save stats and skill checks.
Three weeks without blood: Make a Death save at
Disadvantage. If you fail, you feel very weak (your save stats are
at -5 each and your attacks and skill checks are made at -3). If
you pass, you are at -2 to all attacks, save stats and skill checks.
Four weeks without blood: Make a Death save at Disadvantage.
If you fail, you feel very weak (your save stats are at -6 each and
your attacks and skill checks are made at -3). If you pass, you
are at -4 to all attacks, save stats and skill checks.
Five weeks without blood: Make a Death save at Disadvantage.
If you fail, you feel very weak (your save stats are at -6 each and
your attacks and skill checks are made at -3). If you pass, you
are at -5 to all attacks, save stats and skill checks.

permanently! If you pass, you lose 2d6 HP and 1 from each
attribute permanently.

Chart (p. 42). If you pass, you lose 2d6 HP and 1 from each
attribute permanently.
Nine weeks without blood: You die! Roll on the Vampire Death
Chart (p. 42).

40
Vampire Turn Table
If a victim is partially drained by vampire, they may become
a vampire. Anyone bitten, not fully drained and lives for
more than 10 minutes, must make a Death save. If they
pass, they do not turn into a vampire. If they fail, they turn.
Saving Throw adjustments
The vampire is actively attempting to turn the victim. Add
the level of the vampire to the roll.
If multiple vampires are feeding. +4 to the roll.
If the victim has rune tattoos. -3 to the roll.
If the victim is under 25 years old. +2 to the roll.
If the victim is over 40 years old. -2 to the roll.
If the victim has a 15+ CON. -2 to the roll.

Whenever a victim that is partially drained dies from

bleeding out before 10 minutes, there is a chance they will
become an Ichorhusk. Ichorhusk’s are a special type of
undead that feed upon the blood of the living and the blood
of sentient undead, especially Vampires and Ghouls.

41
Vampire Death Chart
When a Vampire goes below 0 HP, they are knocked Out of Action, but they
continue to regenerate. If they reach 1 HP before the end of the encounter, they
reawaken. If they remain below 0 at the end of the encounter, then they must
make a Death save, adding 1 to the roll for each point below 0 HP they are. If
they fail, they die and roll on the chart below.
*If the damage that puts them below 0 HP is from Silver or natural Sunlight,
they make the Death save at Disadvantage.
d20 Vampire Death Chart (How They Die)
1 A massive, gory, 30’ eruption of blood.
2 Glowing inferno of purple flames.
3 Shatters like pottery (d4 Magic damage to all non-Vampires within 20’),
revealing crystalline innards that turn to sand.
4 They “poof”, leaving only a small pile of ash and a 20’ cloud of smoke for 1
minute.
5 Lightning explodes from their inside, everyone within 10’ takes d6
Electrical damage (double if in water).
6 Slumps over and closes eyes, disintegrating.
7 A “soul” can visibly be seen escaping the vampire’s mouth and ascending
into the sky. The body shrivels and ages before decaying to dust and
blowing away in the wind.
8 Melts into a bubbling, gurgling, puss-like ooze.
9 Their body implodes on itself, disappearing into nothingness with an
audible “ping.”
10 3 Grim Reapers instantly appear grabbing the vampire and pulls them
apart by their appendages. Then, just as quickly disappearing, taking all
evidence of the vampire with them.
11 The vampires skin begins hissing and smoking and within seconds they
melt away leaving only their skeleton behind. Everyone within 20’ is
Sickened for 3 rounds (Death save negates).
12 The vampire screams in agony while coughing up the black inky blood of
all their victims. This process takes d6 rounds, meanwhile the vampire is
helpless and can perform no further actions, aside from suffering in
retribution for the innocent souls they killed.
13 The vampire explodes sending bloody bits and chunks in all directions.
14 White sparks spew forth from their eyes, ears, nose, etc. Their body then
explodes red, like a firecracker on the Fourth of July.
15 The vampire simply “blinks” out of existence in a flash of light.
16 Glowing red skeletal hands break through the floor/ground/whatever the
vampire is standing on, grabbing them by the legs and dragging them
below. Once the vampire is enveloped in the fiery abyss, the flooring
reseals itself leaving no evidence behind.
17 The vampire’s eyes and features change to reveal an innocence not before
seen. The vampire says “Thank you” before closing its eyes and slipping
into the Void.
18 The vampire’s body explodes in all directions, melting away clothes, and
doing 2 Magic damage to everyone within 20’ who is not sheltered of
protected in some way.
19 Beginning with the vampire’s feet and rising up its body, its body starts
turning to black ash, as the upper body collapses on itself.
20 No less than 30 bats rush from the vampire’s mouth before they collapse
into ash.

43
Were-beast
Were-beasts carry an ancient, magical curse within their
blood. They are able to shape change into the form of the
beast in their bloodline. Were-beasts are able to pass their
curse along to victims that survive an attack by them,
although this rarely happens on purpose. Sometimes the
child of a Were-beast will become a Were-beast, manifesting
their abilities upon reaching puberty.
Most Were-beasts are unable to control their transformative
powers without years of training. They always transform
during a full moon and sometimes when they are provoked
to extreme anger. Player characters start with control over
their transformation.
The GM can create a way to break the Were-beast curse, if
the player chooses.
Features: They retain the features of their previous race.
They cannot be ghosts or vampires. Werewolves tend to be
a bit hairier and have a slight smell of earth about them.
Alignment: By Fangkin (see p. 187).
Base Move: 12
Bonuses: +1 to STR, +1 to DEX, +1 to CON, -1 to CHA, +1
to Initiative, +3 to Tracking (by smell), +2 to Spot & Listen,
+2 HP at each level after 1st. Select a Fangkin.
Abilities: Dark Vision 60’, Toughness +2, Regenerate 1 HP
at the end of each round, Heightened senses (smell, taste,
hearing, touch & sight). Non-magical, non-silver weapons
do not harm were-beasts. Magic and Psionic do normal
damage to Werebeasts. Their bite and claw attacks deal
magic damage, as if a magic weapon.
The Death Hunt: All Werebeasts have an instinctual ability
to hunt and kill non-Ghost Undead. They gain Sense
Undead 100’ (half that range against those that give off no
odor of decay) and they are immune to any effect that would
make them become Undead (except Ghosts). Against non-
Ghost Undead they gain: +3 to Spot & Listen, +2 to Melee
attacks and any damage their bite or claws deal regenerate
at half rate (rounded down) until fully healed.
44
Transformation: Werebeasts may transform into the were-
form once a day for each CON modifier they have +1 (1
minimum). They retain control over themselves, but they
make Mental saves at Disadvantage while transformed.
They can remain transformed for 10 minutes per level.
During the full moon, they may transform at will. It takes 1
full round to transform. If you hit 0 HP as a were-beast, you
transform back into a human. At 9th level all Werebeasts
may transform at will and stay transformed for as long as
they wish.
Were-beasts & Magic: Were-beasts regenerate too fast,
so, Rune-tattoos do not hold on their skin and they
cannot cast spells that way. They see themselves as the
guardians of the land and view magic as an unnatural
activity that could corrupt the land. Therefore, most
Were-beasts forbid magic use. However, they may use
magic weapons and items. If they need magic defenses
or assistance, Were-beasts will ask for aide from
Warlocks, Witches and Nature Mystics.
Were-beasts rarely develop psionic abilities, due to the
mental concentration required to maintain were-form.
However, an occasional Psion were-beast pops up and
usually ascend to leadership positions within their

Skills
Each Character receives their starting skills from their class
& profession at level 1. Unless noted, each skill starts with 1
rank and ranks cannot exceed the character's level. However,
bonuses from class, attributes, potions, items, etc. do not
count as ranks, they just give the character an additional
modifier. Example: A character with the First Aid skill, starts
with 1 rank. If they have First Aid +1, they have 1 rank in
First Aid and a +1 to all First Aid skill checks, in addition to
their attribute, item, etc. modifiers.

Each time your Character levels up, your Character gets 2

more Skill Points + INT Modifier to apply to previous skills or
to gain new ones. You may put 1 point into a previous skill's
rank or you may take a new skill at rank 1 for 1 point. NOTE:
Your Character can only choose 1 Fighting Skill: Brawling,
Martial Arts or Wrestling. Fighting Skills do not level or
acquire additional ranks.

When making a skill check, you roll d20 + Attribute Modifier

+ Skill Rank. EX: You want to use your Sleight of Hand skill
to pick a pocket, roll your d20 + Your DEX MOD + Sleight
Rank. Then compare the total of your roll vs the DC set by
the GM. If you tie or exceed the DC, you are successful. *See

numbers for skill checks.

MAGIC SPELLS
Magic spells are granted to spellcasters in the form of
invisible rune-tattoos, that glow when activated for a short
time. When a spellcaster learns a spell by leveling, they are
granted the spells and their appropriate tattoo for no cost.

SPELLCASTERS & SALT

All spellcasters have a natural disdain for salt. They may eat
it and even swim in salt water, but they do not like it.
Concentrated salt does a d4 damage to any spellcaster.
Anyone within a ring of salt, or standing in salt water, gains
a +2 to the Magic save stat and Toughness: Magic +1.

92
ACQUIRING RUNE-TATTOOS
Spellcasters will receive access to new spells and extra tattoos
as they level. As they adventure, they may find books, scrolls
or sages that may teach them knowledge that grants them
access to new spells and rune-tattoos. If you attempt to learn
a new spell, not granted by leveling, you must study for 1 day
per level of the spell and then roll an INT check. Add the
spell’s level to the roll and then subtract your level. If you
pass the check, you learn the spell and can use it once you get
the appropriate rune-tattoo. If you fail the check you do not
learn the spell and may not try to learn that spell again for a
d6 days.

When a spellcaster has a rune-tattoo completed for a spell

that is not learned by leveling, they are temporarily reduced to
0 Hit Points and must make a save against Death at
Disadvantage. If they fail the Death save they must roll on the
Failed Knowledge Table once for each level of the spell and pay
the price for being greedy and over stepping their bounds.
Pass or fail, the spellcaster will remain asleep for 2d6 hours
afterwards and awaken at full health with the rune-tattoo on
their body.

Additional Tattoos can be bought at any time as long as the

buyer can find the right rune-tattoo artist and has the money
to pay their fee! The average rune-tattoo costs $1000 per spell
level.

Non-spellcasters may acquire rune-tattoos at a much greater

risk. They can only be 1st level spells, they must first learn
the spell as a spellcaster does, they must have Arcana with at
least 5 ranks, require at least a 13 INT and they must save
against Death at Double Disadvantage (roll 3 dice and take the
worst)!! If they fail, they must roll on the Failed Knowledge
Table twice as much as the Mystic. Afterwards, they can use
1st level spells equal to their INT modifier per day. Higher
spells can be learned, but that knowledge is sealed in another
tome.

Ghosts cannot get rune-tattoos.

93
FAILED KNOWLEDGE TABLE (d10)
Roll Penalty
1 Gain 1 Madness point
2 Lose 1 point of Death save stat permanently
3 Lose 1 Move permanently

6 Lose d6 STR for d6 days
7 Sleep for an additional d20 hours
8 Lose ½ your base HP for d6 days
9 All Saving Throw attempts are done at Disadvantage
for d4 days.
10 Nothing unusual occurs

ACTIVATING A RUNE-TATTOO
Activating a rune-tattoo spell is as easy as the caster wants
it to be. The caster can simply will the spell to fire with a
series of magical words & phrases or wave their hands in a
divine way to cast the spell. It is the caster’s choice. Anytime
a spell is cast, the corresponding tattoo lights up and
becomes visible for 1 minute per level of the spell. The spell
also leaves behind an intangible, magic rune that hovers
above the ground for d6 minutes – your INT modifier (1
minimum). It can possibly be read by people with the Arcana
skill. They can determine the spell’s level (DC:10), the name
of the spell (DC:13), the caster’s level (DC:18) and magically
track the caster (DC:22 per 100’).

A spellcaster must have at least one hand free for

spellcasting or be able to speak. If any of these conditions
are not met, they will be unable to cast the spell.

Some spells require multiple rounds to cast. If a spellcaster

takes damage while casting a multiple round spell, they must
make an INT check, adding the amount of damage they took
to their roll. If they fail, the spell fails and is wasted.

94
MAGIC SAVING THROWS
When targeted by a spell, a character or monster may make
a save against Magic to negate the spell (unless noted in the
spell description). Making a saving throw against a damaging
spell prevents half of the damage (rounded up).

MAGIC SPELLS
These are the spells available to Spellcasters. If a spell
takes more than one round to cast it will be noted below.
• You may only have 1 magical Armor applied at a
time.
• Magical Armors will not activate on anyone wearing
anything but Light or no armor.
• You may dispel any spell you have cast as a free
action.
• Touch spells only effect a target if you touch their
skin or hair.
• Some spells have types (Light, Evil, Shadow, etc.).
They deal damage as that type, as well as Magic. Therefore,
if you have Immunity to Evil and are hit with an Evil Magic
spell, it will have no effect. If you have a Weakness to Light
and are hit by a Light Magic spell, it will do double damage.
• Each caster may control a HD worth of creatures via
a summoning spell or gate equal to their level + WIS
modifier.

EQUIPMENT
ARMOR CLASS (AC)
All Characters have a base Armor Class of 10 and gain their DEX
modifier. Example: Your Character has a base of 10 and gets a +1
for their DEX Bonus, giving them an 11 AC. You buy Padded Armor
that gives a +1 Armor Class bonus. You now have a 12 AC.

In addition to the above-mentioned bonuses, Characters can get

additional bonuses from wearing armor. See the equipment list in
for more details.

Armor Toughness absorbs physical damage equal to its Toughness

bonus. You may only wear one suit of armor at a time and use one
belt, shield & helmet. Armors with HP lose their special abilities
(Environmental, etc.) when they reach 0 HP until they are repaired.
However, they do maintain their Armor Class & Toughness
bonuses after reaching 0 HP.

FIELD BELTS
Field belts are special technology developed by C.A.R.E. for
their agents, police and soldiers. Each belt has a changeable
buckle that is the source of power and creates the field. It
takes an action to switch out the buckle. Only 1 Field Belt
can be active at a time. This technology is very expensive and
rare, but knock off versions have appeared in the black
market. They are much cheaper but are known to be less
effective and poorly crafted.

All official C.A.R.E belts are protected from EMPs.

POTIONS
Potions are one-time usage items that enhance a character or
creature. Most people have no idea where to find magic potions,
but if you know where to look, they are not too expensive. When
creating a potion with Alchemy, the creator must have at least 3
ranks in Alchemy and have the components (1/2 the cost of the
potion, rounded up). For creation, roll a d20 and add your
Alchemy skill and WIS modifier to your roll. A failed attempt
ruins the components. A natural 20 on the Alchemy check
creates double the number of potions.
Potions last 1 hour.

PLAYING THE GAME
HOUSE RULES
A quick note on house rules. It has been this author’s
experience that while house rules can create a unique and
more fun way to play a roleplaying game, that inconsistency
or constantly changing rules can make for a turbulent
gaming experience for the players.

It is okay to change or adapt the rules but remember the

changes that you have made so that the next time the same
scenario arises that you adjudicate in the same way as you
had done before. It is also okay to try a rule change and then
decide that it did not work and change it again. Just make
sure that you are communicating to your players as to why
the rules keep changing. This will keep everyone on the same
page.

GAME TERMS
ACTION
When a character’s turn in Initiative order comes up during
a round, they get to make an action. A player’s action can be
to attack, cast a spell, run away, hide, defend an ally, etc.
Some characters get more than one action in a round. If so,
they get their next action after every one else has used their
first action. Continue until all actions are resolved.
Free Action – A free action is quick action anyone can do
during another character’s action or at any time (warn
somebody verbally, speak 2 short sentences, drop an item,
cancel your spell, draw a weapon, etc.). Characters can do 2
Free Actions in a round. They may do more, but it uses an
action to do so.
Held Action – If it is your action and you wish to delay it,
you may wait and act before anyone with a lower Initiative.
However, for the rest of that encounter you act at that place
in the Initiative.

140
ADVANTAGE & DISADVANTAGE
A GM may decide that a particular course of action or task
has a higher or lower chance of success. They will ask a
player to roll an additional d20 when making a test - with
advantage the higher result is used and with disadvantage,
the lower.

House Rule: Game Masters may choose to have Advantage

and Disadvantage stack in certain situations by having
players roll multiple d20s and pick the highest number rolled
for Advantage and the lowest number rolled for
Disadvantage.

ATTACK BONUS
For Melee Attacks the Character adds their Strength modifier
and for Ranged Attacks the Character adds their Dexterity
modifier. They also add any attack appropriate bonus to the
attack.

BLINDNESS
If a Character finds themselves blinded, possibly by an
injury, or fighting in darkness without light, the Character
suffers a -4 penalty to all attack rolls, cannot make Spot
checks and moves at ½ Move.

CALLED SHOT
When declaring a range attack on a specific body part or
target, there is a -3 penalty for targeting a specific area.

CHARGE
You may use all of your actions in a turn to Charge an
opponent. You may charge your Move x10 in feet. You must
have a clear, strait path to the opponent. If there is anything
hindering the path (debris, oil, bodies, etc.) the attacker must
make a DEX check or trip on the way. The charger gains +3
to hit and gets double their STR modifier in damage. If the
charge roll hits and is at least 10 higher than the defender’s
AC, the defender is Knocked Back 10’.

141
COMBAT
When a character makes an attack, they roll a d20 and add
their appropriate bonuses to the roll. For a Melee attack
they add their STR modifier & their bonuses. For a Ranged
attack they add their DEX modifier & their bonuses. If the
attack roll exceeds the target’s Armor Class, the attack is
successful and they roll damage

COMBAT EXAMPLE
Traditional
Step 1: Game Master determines if either side of the fray is Surprised. The
characters that Surprise the other characters act first

Step 2: Each character rolls for Initiative and the GM rolls for the NPC’s Initiative.

Step 3: The highest Initiative acts first. Then the next highest acts, etc. until the
last party acts. If anyone has multiple actions, repeat this process until all
actions are exhausted.

Step 4: Without rolling a new Initiative, repeat Step 3 until conflict is resolved.

Optional – Ranged first

Step 1: Check for Surprise.

Step 2: Roll for Initiative.

Step 3: The party that won Initiative attacks with Ranged Weapons first.

Step 4: That part that won Initiative then attacks with Melee Weapons.

Step 5: The party that lost Initiative repeats Steps 3 & 4.

Step 6: Keeping the same Initiative, repeat Steps 3, 4 & 5 until combat is
resolved.

Optional – Group Initiative

Step 1: Check for Surprise.

Step 2: Each side team in the fight rolls each rolls once for Initiative, using the
highest modifier between them.

Step 3: The team with the highest initiative roll, acts.

Step 4: The team with the next highest initiative roll, acts.

Step 5: Repeat Step 4 until all combatants have had their turn to attack. This
counts as 1 combat round.

Step 6: After 4 combat rounds, have everyone re-roll initiative and repeat steps
3, 4 & 5 until combat is complete.

142
COVER
If you are standing behind something that offers protection
from attack, you gain a defensive bonus.
Cover Benefit Against Range
In a crowd +4 AC
9/10 +10 AC, but you cannot see the other
side.
Half +4 AC
Quarter +2 AC

CRITICAL
If a player making an attack rolls a natural 20, they double
the result of the damage dice they roll. If they roll a 1, they
suffer some kind of critical failure. Unless otherwise noted,
only living creatures can suffer critical damage. See p. 158
for Critical Tables.

DARKNESS
When an area is under Darkness, nobody can see anything
and are considered Blind. Some abilities allow a character
to see in Darkness.

DEATH/ OUT OF ACTION

If a character goes to below 1 HP they are considered
unconscious and Out of Action (see p. 16). They are not
dead, just removed from the action until healed or the action
ends and they are tended to. For a Character to be
considered dead they must have negative HP equal to their
CON score.

DEFENSIVE
As an Action you can help defend another player. You cannot
attack that round and the player you are defending gets +4
to AC, +1 to all saves and +1 to all skill rolls as long as you
are defending them. If the person you are defending is hit,
you have a 50% chance of splitting the damage with them.

143
DIFFICULTY CHECKS (DC)
Difficulty Checks are determined by d20 rolls. GMs can set
any DC she desires but here is a simple guideline for target
numbers before bonus:

EASY 10
MEDIUM 15
DIFFICULT 20
NEAR IMPOSSIBLE 25

NOTE: The roll of a Natural 20 is always a success and a

Natural 1 is always a failure, regardless of bonuses and
difficulty levels.

DROWNING/ BREATH
A character can hold their breath for 1 minute per point of
CON modifier (30 seconds minimum). When a character runs
out of air, they become unconscious and lose d6 HP per
round. All attacks made under water are at Disadvantage
unless they have Free Action or they live in the water.

ENCUMBRANCE
A character can carry a number of items equal to their STR
Attribute without issue. Carrying over this amount means
they are encumbered and all attribute tests are taken with
Disadvantage. The character can also only move to
somewhere nearby. Also, they simply cannot carry more than
double their STR.

ENVIORNMENTAL
Armor or force fields that are air tight and have their own
internal oxygen system or filter. While intact, the wearer is
immune to gas attacks and environmental hazards. The
armor also has a temperature control that makes the wearer
comfortable, no matter the temperature outside.

FALLING
When a character falls, they take damage if they fall more
than 10’. For every 10’ past the first 10’ they fall, they take
a d6 damage.

144
FEARLESS
The character or monster is immune to Fear and Terror.
They automatically pass all Courage saves and cannot be
Intimidated.

GRAB
A character may attempt to Grab someone with their set of
arms, a tentacle, etc. They make a Melee attack against the
target. If successful, the target may make a STR check
adding the STR modifier of the attacker to their roll. If they
pass the STR check they avoid the Grab. If they fail, they are
considered Grabbed. They lose all actions except speaking
and trying to break free. Once a round they may attempt to
break free with another STR check as above.

Anytime the Grabber takes damage the character being

grabbed may attempt a STR to escape, subtracting the
damage taken by the Grabber from their roll.

Grab Modifiers
Action Modifier
Target 1’+ Larger than you Target gains
Target has an extra set of limbs Advantage on
Target has 5+ More STR STR check
Target 1’+ Shorter than you Target gains
Target has 5+ less STR Disadvantage
on STR check
Target is twice your size or more Cannot Grab

IGNITED
Anything on fire is considered Ignited and takes 1 cumulative
point of additional damage at the beginning of each round
until extinguished (i.e. 1, then 2, then 3, etc.). If they come
into contact with any other beings while Ignited, the other
being must make a DEX check or be considered Ignited as
well. You may take an action to try to extinguish yourself or
someone else by making a DEX check.

145
IMMUNITY
Characters with Immunity to a certain type of damage do not
take any damage from that source and cannot be affected by
that source. Even if they gain Weakness to the same source,
the Immunity stands.

IMPROVISED WEAPONS
If you use an improvised weapon (broken bottle, a stick,
trash can lid, a handful of coins, etc.) you attack at -3, unless
you have training.

INITIATIVE
Initiative is rolled on a d6, adding in any bonus (from DEX
or otherwise), with the highest total winning initiative. If
there is a tie, the character with the highest DEX goes first.
If they are still tied, the character with the highest Move goes
first.
When rolling Initiative for an NPC unit the GM may roll once
for the whole team using the highest bonus for Initiative. The
GM decides what order they take their actions in.

INVISIBILITY
While invisible a character cannot be detected, except by
certain abilities (Radar, Earth Powers, etc.). If you act upon
a character while invisible, that character is now effectively
Blind when interacting with that character as long as they
are invisible.

KNOCKBACK
When a character is knocked back, they take an additional
point of damage for every 10’ they go. If they hit another solid
item or character, they take an additional d4 damage, as
does the object the struck.

146
LIGHT
Characters will often find themselves adventuring into dark
places. For that is important to remember that torches and
lanterns illuminate a 30’ radius. Flashlights produce a 40’
beam of light, cone shaped. Torches will burn for 1 hour,
Lanterns will burn for 24 hours on a full pint of oil, and
flashlights will work for 2 hours of full batteries.
LISTEN
Listen checks are made when a character attempts to identify
or notice a sound (a secret whisper, a far-off scream,
somebody trying to stealth by, etc.). A character adds their
WIS modifier to their check roll. The GM sets the DC.
MADNESS New
A dark, alien energy arrived on Earth thousands of years ago.
Its presence begun corrupting the living creatures of the
world with a maddening effect, that if strong enough, will kill
the host. This form of Madness is something metaphysical,
beyond any normal type of insanity or mental illness. Things
that would normally just spook a person, can now actually
corrupt and even kill them.

When you Step into the Void, encounter selected monsters

or fail a Courage save or Terror check, your mind may
become tainted by this Madness. For every point of Madness
you accumulate, you come closer to losing your mind.
Madness points are permanent, but they can be removed
through some Mystical means. If your Madness exceeds your
Wisdom score at any time, you are forever lost to the Void.
Some effects may turn you into a minion of the Void after you
are lost, but the soul & character are lost forever (see p. 149).

Player Characters are considered seasoned enough to ignore

basic encounters that would terrify a typical person (i.e.
finding a body part, a pool of blood, hearing a scary story,
etc.). However, some events and encounters can cause a
character to gain Madness points. However, NPCs that may
accompany or appear in a campaign may not be so tough.
The mere sight of a dead rat or a howl in the night may startle
them.

147
Madness Effects
As a character begins to gain Madness points, things begin to
happen to them. Their minds become corrupted by unknown,
terrifying forces. If an effect causes a character’s Madness to
decrease, then they lose the equivalent Madness effects.
Points
0-2 No ill effects.
3 The character occasionally will hear disembodied voices.
4 The character will occasionally see flashes of spirits and shadowy
movements.
5 -1 to the Mental save stat
6 Gain a phobia (roll on the Fear Table p.162)
7 Anxiety issues (-1 to all attack, save stats & skill checks) and inner
voices will occasionally tell you to harm yourself.

affects they receive & -1 to the Mental save stat.)
9 Gain a phobia (roll on the Fear Table p.162)
10 Dire Insomnia (-1 to all attributes) & the character can see ghosts.
11 Weakness: Light & they are at -1 to all attacks, save stats & skill
checks in the daylight.
12 Character’s eyes turn violet & they are at -2 to the Magic save stat.
13 Gain a phobia (roll on the Fear Table p.162)
14 Anti-Social. The character is at -3 to CHA.
15 Gain Dark Vision 60’ (or +20’) & -2 to the character’s highest save
stat. Select if a tie.
16 Amnesia. The character gains Disadvantage a non-physical skill at
random and they have Disadvantage on a Knowledge skill of their
choice.
17 The character rolls at Double Disadvantage when encountering
existing phobias.
18 Lose Fearless.
19 The character gains an ever present, purple aura. They can see the
invisible, gain Weakness: Magic and +2 to their Armor Class.
20 The character loses the ability to communicate with anyone at a
lower Madness level, or lower combined INT & WIS score.
21+ -2 to the character’s Mental save stat for each level beyond 20.

Ways to Remove Madness

-Magic items or potions
-Magic spells
-Special quests
-Ancient tomes
-Rare drugs
-Possibly a noble deed?

148
MADNESS - LOST TO THE VOID
When a character’s Madness score surpasses their Wisdom
score, they are forever Lost to the Void. You may roll on this
chart to see how they are lost.
Roll Madness Effect
1-5 The character becomes catatonic and is now an
empty vessel.
6-8 The character loses their mind and begins to
indiscriminately attack everything within sight.
9 The character begins to yell in random languages
forever.
10 The character begins to count at 1 and will never
stop.
11 The character turns into a purple silhouette that
permanently burns into the ground or nearby wall.
12 The character’s mind is replaced with the mind of
an alien entity. It has access to that character’s
knowledge and skill set.
13 The character just disappears and occasionally will
appear to the character with the highest Madness
score.
14 The character disappears screaming. That screams
faintly echoes in this area forever. The higher
Madness one has, the louder the scream is.
15 A large mass of purple tentacles appears and pulls
the character into the abyss.
16 The character’s cranium busts open and a
tentacled creature flies skyward (going through
walls and obstacles).
17 The character slowly fades to black. Everything
within 100’ takes a d6 Psionic damage.
18 The character slowly melts into a purple goo.
19 The character disappears into a purple portal below
them.
20 The character disintegrates into a purple energy,
blasting everything within 60’ area for 2d6 Magic
damage.

149
MELEE ATTACK
A Melee attack is any attack made in close combat. Such as
throwing a punch or swinging a sword. Doing a Ranged
attack in Melee is done at Disadvantage.
MOVEMENT
Standard Movement rates refer to a character’s ability to
move around on foot, in both combat and non-combat
rates. Characters start with a Move of 12 on land and 9
swimming, unless otherwise noted.
A character’s Move indicates the maximum feet x10 they
can move in a full round. The table below lists a Characters
movement rates under different conditions (i.e., a character
that has a Move of 15 can move a total of 150’ normally in a
round, 300’ while running, 30’ while crawling or 50’ and
still be able to make a normal attack).
If a character moves more than 1/3 of their move but does
not run, they may still attack at -4.
A character may move up to 1/3 of their Move, rounded up,
and still attack without penalty. If they Move more than
that, they have a -4 penalty to attack. may run and attack
at a penalty, losing ½ of their total attack bonuses (rounded
down), and they double any ROF penalties they incur.
Rate of Movement Movement Modifier
CRAWLING 1/5
CAREFUL/ BROKEN 1/2
TERRIAN
NORMAL Normal
RUNNING x2
COMBAT or CLIMBING 1/3
CHARGING Normal (See Charging)
Outdoor Movement rates refer to a character’s ability to walk
long distances in an outdoor setting. A hurried pace is 18
miles per day, a March is 9 miles per day and a stroll is 6
miles per day. A character adds their CON modifier (in miles)
to their Outdoor Movement.

150
OUTSMART
When successfully attacked or effected by an ability/spell of
a hostile character or creature, the character may attempt to
Outsmart their foe (before damage is rolled). Roll a d20 and
add your INT & WIS modifiers and Outsmart bonus to the
roll. If the Outsmart roll is equal to or greater than the attack
roll, then roll on the chart below. If the attack or effect had
no initial roll, then the attacker rolls and adds the
appropriate modifiers to their roll and compare. If
successful, the player with Outsmart then switches places in
Initiative with the attacker if they so choose. Outsmart does
not require an action. A character with Outsmart can use it
equal to their INT + WIS modifiers per day.

Outsmart Results Chart (d6)

Roll Result
1 The attack still hits but does ½ damage & is
half effective. Cannot put you at less than 1
HP.
2 The attack fails, but any area effect or effect
on others is unaffected.
3 The attack fails. The attacker must make a
DEX save or fall down.
4 The attack fails. The attacker is flummoxed
and they lose their next action.
5 The attack fails, but the attacker takes the hit
at ¼ damage (rounded up).
6 The attack fails, but the attacker takes the hit
at ½ damage (rounded up).

Example: Mark shoots at Marlon with a handgun. Mark rolls

a total of 15 against Marlon's 13 AC, so he would hit.
However, Marlon has Outsmart +1 and wishes to use one of
his daily attempts to negate the attack. Marlon rolls a 12. He
adds his +1 INT modifier, +2 WIS modifier and +1 Outsmart
bonus to the roll, ending up with a 16. Marlon's 16 beats
Mark's 15, so Marlon is successful and gets to roll a d6 to see
what happens. He rolls a 4, therefore the attack fails and
Mark becomes flummoxed by his miss and loses his next
action.
151
PRONE
If a Character attacks a Prone victim, the victim losses all
bonuses to Armor Class and suffers a -4 Armor Class
penalty.
RANGE ATTACKS
Range attacks are attacks that are made at distance by
throwing or shooting at a target or targets.

The set range for Range weapons is the ideal for success with
that weapon. You can attempt to shoot past the given range
at a penalty. Attacks under the range are rolled as normal.
Attacks from the maximum range to double range are rolled
at -6. Ranged attacks made at 5’ or closer are at
Disadvantage (or if it is within Reach). GMs may allow a
character to attempt an extremely long shot at a greater
negative modifier as long as the weapon can realistically
shoot that far.

If you draw a ranged weapon and attack in the same action,

your attack is at -3. If you shoot into a crowd of 3 or more
your attack is at -3.

RATE OF FIRE (ROF)

When firing an automatic or energy weapon that has a ROF
more than 1 you can choose to shoot once or to shoot
multiple rounds up to, or equal to, the ROF at once. If you
shoot once, roll your attack as normal. If you unload more
than one shot at once you must roll to attack with each shot.
The first shot is at -2 to attack, the second is at -4, the third
is at -6 and any beyond that are at -8.

REACH
Weapons or creatures with reach may be used to attack
further than normal. A basic melee attack can only be
delivered to someone adjacent to your character. Reach
weapons can attack characters that are further away equal
to the weapon’s listed reach.

RELOADING
Reloading a weapon takes a single action, unless otherwise
noted.
152
SEIZE THE MOMENT
Some characters have the ability to seize the moment in
combat by taking advantage of an opponent’s mistakes.
They can take those mistakes and turn them into an extra
action. A character with Seize the Moment may immediately
use bonus attack against an opponent that does one of the
actions below within your Reach. You can only Seize the
Moment once a day for each point you have in it.
• Cast or casting a spell in melee
• Critical Fumble
• End the Round Stunned
• End Your Turn with Them Unaware of You
• Fall/ Trip
• Get Knocked Back
• Run Away from You (Make a Run Move)
• Shoot a Gun or Bow in melee

SICKENED
When a character becomes sickened, they are at -3 to all
attacks & skill checks. They are also at Disadvantage on all
saving throws and Move at ½ speed.

SPOT
Spot checks are made to see if you notice a visual occurrence
near you (someone hiding, notice someone in a disguise,
traps, something unusual, etc.). A character adds their WIS
modifier to their check roll. The GM sets the DC.

STUN
When a character is stunned, they lose all actions, drop all
items in hand, lose their DEX bonus and are at -4 Armor
Class until the effect wears off.

SURPRISE ATTACK
Any attack made on a character that they are unaware of is
a Surprise Attack. Those attacks add a d4 damage to the
attack. Once hit by an attack further attacks by that
character are not considered a Surprise Attack, even if made
unaware. Surprise Attack only effects living creatures,
unless otherwise noted.
153
THROWN WEAPONS
Each weapon has a listed range, but you can throw it further
by taking a negative attack modifier. You receive a -2 to hit
for each extra 10’ thrown. A high STR can increase the range
of thrown weapons. You add 10’ to the range of a thrown
weapon for each STR modifier a character has.
TOUGHNESS
Toughness is a form of Damage Reduction against Physical
and Energy-based damage. Only specified Toughness can
protect one against Magic or Psychic based damage. If a
character has a Toughness of +2, that means that when they
take damage from an attack, the first 2 points of damage are
negated. If a character has specific Toughness & general
Toughness, they stack. (i.e. A character with Toughness +2 &
Toughness: Fire +3 gets hit with a 6 damage fireball, they
would take 1 point of damage.)
TIME & TURNS
There are 2 units of measurement to track time in DP&D:
1. Moments/ Rounds
2. Minutes/ Turns
Moments, often referred to as rounds are used during combat
and times of danger. Minutes, often referred to as turns are
used during non-time sensitive times of adventuring and
roleplaying.
Understand the Game Master may speed up or slowdown in-
game time as she deems necessary for the story of the
adventure she is running.
TRIPPING
You may try to trip someone that is next to your character or
within range of a Reach weapon. Make an attack against your
target. If you hit, the target makes a DEX check adding your
STR modifier to their roll. If they pass, nothing happens. If
they fail, they become tripped and are Prone until their next
action.
If you try to trip some more than 6” + taller than you, you
roll your attack at Disadvantage & the target rolls their DEX
check at Advantage.

154
TWO-HANDED WEAPONS
Two-Handed Weapons require the usage of both hands. A
minimum STR of 13 is required to properly wield a two-handed
weapon. If someone attacks with one and has a STR below 13 they
receive -X to their attack. X is equal to the points their STR is
below 13. Characters with 13+ STR that wield a two-handed
weapon deal additional damage equal to their STR modifier.
UNARMED ATTACKS (Hand to Hand)
Unarmed attacks are attacks made without a weapon (excluding
brass knuckles and such). Any unarmed punch or kick does d4 +
STR modifier in damage (unless otherwise noted). If a character
does not have a Fighting skill or a fighting type class, they are at -
2 on all unarmed attacks and do ½ the damage rounded down.
UNTRAINED ARMOR PENALTY
If a character wears a piece of armor that they are not trained to
use, they lose any DEX bonus they have and are at – 3 to Stealth
and -1 to all attack and other skill rolls due to the discomforting
feeling. If they cast a spell, they must make an INT check roll
adding the level of the spell. If they fail the spell fails. This
excludes Padded Armor.
UNTRAINED WEAPON ATTACKS
If someone makes an attack with a weapon that they are not
trained to use by their class (Light, Medium, Heavy or Ranged)
they attack at -4.
USAGE DICE (Optional)
Any item listed in the equipment section is considered frail,
consumable or limited item. When that item is used the next
turn it’s Usage die is rolled.
If the roll is 1-3 then the usage die is downgraded to the next
lower die in the following chain:
d20 > d12 > d10 > d8 > d6 > d4
When you roll a 1-2 on a d4 the item no longer works or the
character has no more of the item left.
WEAKNESS
When you take damage from the source you have a weakness to,
you take double the damage. Apply Toughness before doubling
damage.

155
XP & LEVELING UP
In the original fantasy RPG, Experience Points or XP was
awarded for slaying monsters and gathering treasure.
Survive This! games use a leveling system that takes the
focus off of combat and rewards Characters for in 5 different
ways: Session Survival, Encounter XP, Exceptional
Roleplaying, Discretionary and Hero XP.

Session Survival, is the first way earn XP. 1 XP is given

simply for completing or “Surviving” an entire gaming
session. Even if your Character does not get much
accomplished during the gaming session, this XP is still
earned.

Encounter XP can be earned up to 3 times in one gaming

session. 1 Encounter XP is earned by being involved in a
combat scenario. If there are 3 separate combat scenarios in
one gaming session, then 3 XP is earned. If there are 5
separate combat scenarios, still only 3 XP is earned as that
is the max. NOTE: Encounter XP is rewarded regardless if
you win or lose.

Exceptional Roleplaying XP can be earned 1 time per

session for 1 XP. This XP is given for a player that goes above
and beyond in the department of roleplaying.

Hero XP is XP that is given to a player who performs a

selfless act of valor. This act must be something that is above
and beyond the goal of the session. Unlike the other types of
XP that can be earned, Hero XP can only be earned by 1
player, per gaming session, and if nothing hero-like is done,
then no player earns the Hero XP by any player.

Discretionary XP can be earned up to twice a gaming

session for a maximum total of 2 XP awarded at the GM’s
discretion. This can be given for things like solving a difficult
puzzle, overcoming the odds or achieving something due to
luck.

156
Maximum XP per session:
Session Survival: 1 XP per player
Encounter: 3 XP per player
Exceptional Roleplaying: 1 XP per player
Discretionary: 2 XP per player
Vigilante: 1 XP for 1 player
NOTE: Using this method, all Character Classes level at the
same pace.

Optional
For groups that are very heavy into roleplaying and not as
much into combat, it is recommended to give 1 XP per 1 hour
of gameplay. This takes the emphasis off combat-driven play
and still rewards players for playing the game the way they
enjoy it and allows their Characters to progress at a much
more normal rate.

Courage Saves vs. Terror Checks
Courage Saves: Courage saves are rolled when a
character's morale is challenged or when a character
encounters a dangerous obstacle or for the first time. Every
time a Character fails a Courage save, they receive a
cumulative +1 to all future Courage saves against the same
adversary or occurrence. Failed Courage checks require
rolls on the Failed Courage/Terror Effect table on p. 161.
For every point of the Courage save stat, a Character has
above 12, they get a +1 to Terror checks.

Terror Checks: Target DCs on Terror checks are listed on

each creature or monster. The first time you encounter a
monster, roll a d20 adding your level and any bonuses. If a
Character fails (rolls below the Terror DC), they must roll on
the Failed Courage/ Terror chart and then the next time
they encounter the monster they must roll again, but gain a
+1 accumulative bonus to your roll.

Things that may trigger a Courage save:

GMs may assign modifiers if the encounters are less or more
gruesome as normal.
-Encountering a gruesome murder scene.
-Seeing several mutilated animals.
-Seeing a torture chamber.
-Seeing a friend or loved one die.
-Witnessing or being tortured.
-Hearing an extremely spooky sound.
-Being grabbed by an invisible entity.

CULTS, ORGANIZATIONS & INTERESTING
PLACES OF THE MODERN WORLD
Organizations and cults exist all over the world, hoping to
expand their influence or to protect the planet from the
influence of others. These are some of the major
organizations that operate outside of the public eye.
Additionally, several places of note will be listed below.

166
C.A.R.E
C.A.R.E (Conservers of the Ancient Realm of Earth) is a global
organization that defends the Earth from unwanted alien
influence, and those that wish to cause harm to the world
with the use magic & psychic powers. Their activity is secret
to most of the people of the world, but many countries have
top secret, unofficial, government agencies that work with
C.A.R.E., or similar agencies. C.A.R.E.’s member nations are
all of North America, South America, most of the Caribbean,
most of Europe, Israel, most of Africa, India, most of SE Asia,
Australia, New Zealand, South Korea and Japan.

The origins of C.A.R.E can be traced back to the ancient

world. Ancient Egypt, Greece, Persia, Rome and other
civilizations each developed a secret society that fought
against supernatural and occult corruption, influence and
invasion. Overtime, many of those groups began to work
together as alien threats and the voice of long forgotten
beings began to stir. The leading groups in Southern Europe,
North Africa and the Middle East joined together during the
reign of Caesar Augustus, helping usher in the era of the Pax
Romana. This organization has changed its name and
methods several times in the past 2000 years. It became
known as C.A.R.E when they moved their headquarters from
Switzerland to England in 1870. Their primary base is
located in a well-protected nature preserve in Lincolnshire,
south of Grimsby.

C.A.R.E has large and small, safe houses and offices all over
the world. They work with the F.B.I, C.I.A, MI-6, ASIS and
other groups, but remain a secret to 99.9% of the world. They
also have a few other large bases and facilities. C.A.R.E. is
run by a council of members and have a rotating leader.

167
The World Council – The ruling council that contains 1
member from each country in C.A.R.E., 1 member from a few

distinguished former C.A.R.E. Special Agent turned lawyer,
known for saving the world from a shape-changing alien
takeover attempt in the 80’s. She is the daughter of famous
Ethiopian linguist and writer, Dr. Saba, and the legendary
Italian actor Fredo Viti. The Director has a vote on the World
Council.

large Fey community. Is also home to a large survival bunker
below the offices and barns.

170
Noted C.A.R.E. Officials

current head of C.A.R.E. Although he is in his late 70’s, he is
a grim and tough leader that commands respect. Has limited
veto powers for the World Council.

Special Agent Sarah “Shahrazad” Pedrad – The leader of

the special C.A.R.E unit known as The Erasers (a team of
experts sent out to wipe out threats and to cover up their
very existence). Agent Pedrad is known as Shahrazad
because of her ability to tell stories that enthrall all that
listen, in addition to her Middle Eastern heritage. She is also
a Psion of great power.

Jarvis Shain- Powerful Mystic/ Necromancer and former

villain that now works for C.A.R.E. teaching Mystics how to
defend against evil magic and Necromancy.

Wisdom Hope Wyler – Doppelganger spy that teaches

subterfuge and hand to hand combat at the C.A.R.E.
Academy. She is obsessed with music and often appears as
different rock, punk and pop stars.

171
0rganizations
The world is filled with groups, small and large, that try to
exert some influence the affairs of man. Below are some of
the larger groups that may be encountered by players.

Attendants of the Dawn – A powerful group of mystics and

casters that have devoted their lives to defending the Earth
from outside threats. They will loosely work with C.A.R.E.,
but they are distrustful of C.A.R.E.’s interactions with
several alien forces. The Attendants of the Dawn have
hidden bases all over the world, they call them Libraries.
Their main Library is located in the Canadian North Woods.

The Council of the Midnight Lakes – Located in the Benza

forest of Romania, this is the home to the world’s governing
body of vampires, well most of them. The Council dictates
policies and enforces millennia old rules.

The Coven of the Fragile Shell – An ancient coven of

witches & casters that have guarded the Earth against
paranormal threats for 1000s years. They are very magical
and are attuned to nature, to the point of banning machines
and modern technology in their compounds. The Coven
works with C.A.R.E. but are weary of their association with
the Greys and Pleiadeans. All of the Coven members are
female and must have magic or psionic abilities. The Coven
is led by three powerful witches: The Grand Protector Yanna
(an ancient Celtic Druidess), Shattuck the Queen of Luck
(British-Punjabi Psion) and Boran the Spirit Blight (ancient
Persian Witch and mother of Agent Pedrad).

The Ever-Reaching Wall – The Chinese equivalent to

C.A.R.E. They protect China and Chinese all over the world
from paranormal threats. They are extremely secretive and
rarely work with any agency outside of the Red Dam.

172
The Gears of the Highest Power – A new cult that believes
that human augmentation is the best way to become like a
god. New members have to pay or earn their way up the
ranks of this cult, which is based on augmentations. They
have bases in Austria, Bolivia, Montana and New Zealand.

Gonajloth’s Endbringers – A heinous, criminal organization

bent on the exploitation and eventual destruction of the
Earth, Gonajloth’s Endbringers are a group of similar
minded Earthlings and aliens. Gonajloth is a mystic that
claims to have been born in Assyria in 740 BCE, but the
earliest record of his presence is from World War I. He claims
that he has been traveling through other dimensions
gathering knowledge and followers to attack Earth. The
Endbringers have been upping their terroristic attacks as of
late.

The Grey Shuck- A growing religious cult that owns several

thousand acres in Western Illinois along the Mississippi
River. They have a compound in the town of Dullwater and
they are known for being quiet, wearing grey clothing and
selling the most delicious corn in the Midwest. They secretly
abduct transients and those that meddle to closely in their
affairs, turning them into mindless slaves that work the
fields and to be sacrifices for their secret master. See p. 211.

The Lost Wind of the al-Hazred – A mysterious, worldwide

organization of scholars, mystics and madmen, bent on the
discovery of lost, ancient knowledge. Within the organization
there is a schism on whether to use the knowledge they gain
to conquer the world, or to destroy the world. They are
considered a threat to the safety of the world by all countries
and members of C.A.R.E. The Lost Wind has a secret,
underground base of operations in the Southern Arabian
Peninsula. Many powerful Mystics, Academics and Arcane
Thieves are members.

The Papacy – The Papacy in Rome has influence all over the
planet. They have agents in the field looking for relics and
seeking out alien threats to defeat.

173
The Poisoned Sica – The oldest group of assassins on Earth.
Tracing their heritage can be traced back to ancient Rome,
but they claim that they are even older. The Poisoned Sica
claim international neutrality, due to the fact that they will
take payment to assassinate anyone, even their own
members. All members of The Poisoned Sica are considered
highly wanted criminals by every law enforcement agency in
the world.

The Probers – Against the will of their brethren, the Greys,

The Probers have been abducting humans for various,
unknown nefarious means. The whereabouts of these
terrifying aliens on Earth are currently unknown.

Protectors of the Kaaba – The Middle Eastern equivalent to

C.A.R.E. Once a member of C.A.R.E. that left the
organization in 1970’s, the Protectors of the Kaaba defend
the Middle-East, part of Africa, Pakistan, Indonesia and
Muslims of the world from paranormal threats. Their
headquarters are found in Saudi Arabia, with major offices
in Egypt, Pakistan, Indonesia, Iraq and Iran.

The Red Dam – The Russian equivalent of C.A.R.E. They

protect Russia and Russians all over the world from
paranormal threats. Red Dam agents work all over the world,
but are not on good terms with C.A.R.E., because of their
poor record of sharing information with others. The Red Dam
works closely with The Ever-Reaching Wall.

Threads of Confusion – Little is known about this secret

group that seeks to create anarchy and confusion within
other organizations. C.A.R.E. is seeking more information
about this group, but has not had much luck thus far. It is
rumored that the group is run by Doppelgangers.

174
Jari-Ka Circles
Jari-Ka are rarely created, but when they are, they are
molded for a purpose and are immediately fitted into their
Circle. Jari-Ka rarely leave their Circle, or strike out on their
own, due to the great cost of maintaining their immortality.
The Jari-Ka wraps require a very secretive and expensive
recipe of plants and enchantments. This recipe is known to
each Jari-Ka Circle and they will do anything to keep it
secret. The various Circles are global organizations that
attempt to spread their influence and weaken their enemies.

Due to the expense of keeping a Jari-Ka “alive” and the rarity

of magic & psionics to drain, each Circle keeps their Jari-Ka
population low. Usually less than 60 exist in each Circle,
although they employee thousands.

Global Jari-Ka Circles

The Circle of the Frozen Sky
The Drawing Night
The Forever Circle
The Salt Crusted Circle
The Silver Ore Circle

175
The Circle of the Frozen Sky
This Circle started in Ancient China by a small breakaway group
from The Forever Circle. They are known as masters of prophecy
and astrology, using their influence to alter destinies they see as
incorrect, forcing their will upon other people and nations. They
act more like a religious cult, often shunning, or accusing non-
believers or heinous atrocities.
The Circle of the Frozen Sky and The Forever Circle are bitter
enemies. They will not even meet in the same location unless it is
a most dire emergency.
Alignment: Usually Law or Righteous.
Languages: Jari-Ka and Mandarin Chinese
Circle Bonuses: +2 to Initiative, Astrology skill at +3, Toughness:
Cold & Ice +5, occasional flashes of clairvoyance
Paths: The Circle of the Frozen Sky can be any Path, except Caress
of the Void. Members will rarely will Step into the Void.
Headquarters: Beijing
Strongholds: The Circle of the Frozen Sky has domain over East
and Southern Asia. Irkutsk, Katmandu, Manila, Singapore, Tokyo,
Ulaanbaatar, Xi’an
Leader: Grand Sky Revealer Ti Shu (at least 3000 years old Jari-
Ka)

The Drawing Night

The most feared and dangerous of the Jari-Ka Circles, The
Drawing Night are driven by the gathering of power and the

The Forever Circle was the first Circle, beginning in Ancient Egypt
around 3000 BCE. They began as a shadowy group that protected

mountain, searching for various minerals and a fabled long-lost
civilization.
Members of this circle tend to be more adventurous and curious
than most Jari-Ka Circles. The Salt Crusted Circle does exert

Vampire Lineages
Vampires have existed alongside mankind for at least the past
10,000 years, and possibly further back into pre-history. All
Vampire Lineages can be traced back to tribe of humans from the
Lake Van region (modern day, SE Turkey), known as The
Gogulrath. Legends tell that these humans discovered something,
or someone, that made them grow stronger, crave blood and fear
the daylight. They easily conquered the surrounding peoples,
slaughtering the majority of the captives and altering some to
become new members of their spreading empire.

After taking much of the mountainous & forested areas of the

region, avoiding the coverless open deserts to the south, the
Vampires were savagely defeated after crossing the modern
Caucasus Mountains by a civilization of humans that were said to
transform into wolves and bears at night. These beasts pursued
the remaining Vampires across the lands, destroying them on
sight. Only a few Vampires escaped to various regions of the
planet, where they formed each the Vampire Lineages. These
Lineages have unique structures and rules that have been honored
by their members for millennia. All of the Lineages agree upon a
general set of rules, known as The Pax Sanguis, in Jerusalem in
50 CE. There they agreed to keep the Vampire population low, to
avoid over human depopulation, drawing attention from Were-
beasts and to keep their names in the realm of fear and legend.
They also agreed to try to keep to the shadows, no open conquests
would be allowed. Lastly, they made a truce among the Lineages,
so that they do not wipe each other out and to focus on greater
enemies. This agreement prevents all out conflict among Lineages,
though Vampires are allowed to fight and kill each other if they are
warranted, and it occurs out of sight of the ingmatka (humans with
no supernatural powers, or a crowd of humans).

Each Lineage has one member on The Council of the Blood Lakes,
which holds court in Geneva, Switzerland, determining the future
of the Vampire people and settles Lineage disputes. Members are
free to travel to any stronghold city of other Lineages, but they
must seek permission before doing business there, if they plan on
killing anyone or if they plan on turning another into a vampire.

Breathstalkers are a Lineage composed of mostly assassins,

The Cumbersome Evermore
The most unusual of the Lineages, The Cumbersome Evermore is
comprised of mostly former members of other Lineages. All the
members of The Cumbersome Evermore are repentant Vampires
that seek to cure their ancient curse, or to at least, find a way to
redeem their kind for their past crimes against humanity. These
Vampires tend to feed on only the worst of dregs of humanity or
on newly created synthetic blood known as Q-64. They retain a
spot on The Council of the Blood Lakes, because many other
Vampires hope that they are successful in their search for a cure.

The most devious and underhanded of all Lineages, the Diplomacy
of Thorns are considered by most other Lineages as a necessary
nuisance. They are able to infiltrate and manipulate local and
national governments to the benefit of Vampire kind. The
Diplomacy of Thorns will aid other Lineages, but they usually take
a steep price or ask for a future favor. Sometimes they require
favors or items that initially make no sense, but later wind up
being far more valuable than previously judged. They are closely
allied with The Gogulrath.

Dirt
This Lineage follows a natural path, attempting to fill the vampiric
emptiness by trying to rejoin nature, or at least guard it against
its destruction by unnatural forces. Dirt followers tend to shun
civilization and big cities, but may occasionally visit them for good
reasons. Most members live in small communes in the
countryside. However, others may live deep in the wilderness, and
a small minority work in cities for corporations or environmental
groups.

in true fashion. Though not allied, Were-beasts have some respect
for Dirt members.

immortality with an anything goes attitude about unlife. They wish
to taste the blood of a variety of humans, exotic creatures and
especially the supernatural. They partake in giant parties and
infamous, week long orgies. Members tend to live a life style of
opulence. This opulence usually wears off after a few centuries,
causing many members to leave for other Lineages after some
time.

Were-beasts are cursed humans that have existed for over
10,000 years. Although they existed in almost every human
culture, their origin is still a mystery.

and live a life attuned to nature. Were-beasts are less
organized than Vampire Lineages and Jari-Ka Circles, but do
work within loosely organized groups known as Fangkin.

Places of Note
Aushthorn Forest – Small track of woodlands that is off
limits to all non-magical or non-Fey humanoids. Located in
Germany’s Black Forest, Aushthorn is a nature preserve of
monsters, magical creatures and flora of a bygone era. It is
guarded by Wild Elves and few outsiders are allowed within.
Lately, some rogue werewolves have been terrorizing the
area.

The Black Patches – In 826 CE, several large spacecrafts

landed in seven isolated locations around the world. The
ships stayed for 6 months and were studied by the secret
organizations of the world at the time. The ships never
moved, never, knowingly attempted communication and
were seemingly impenetrable. After 6 months, the all ships
lifted up and flew away. The areas each took on an altered
appearance and when examined, it was apparent that the
aliens had changed these lands in various ways. They were
all dangerous zones filled with mutated creatures, that were
once the denizens of the lands. All of these areas are
considered off-limits and are owned by various governments
or organizations. For an unknown reason, nothing from
within the zones has attempted to expand outward.
Here is a basic review of the seven Black Patches:
1. The Black Glass Forest – Located in the middle of
Antarctica, this is the smallest patch of all of the
patches (only about 1000 acres). The entire patch is
covered by an odd, alien vegetation that looks like trees
and vines made out of black and grey crystals. It is
inhabited by many odd creatures, including huge
spiders made of ice. The surrounding Antarctic air has
no effect on this zone (it has a moderate yearly climate).
2. Pacific Dead Waters – Located in a patch of 2500
acres in the Southern Pacific Ocean, far south of New
Zealand. This patch of water has absolutely no life and
none will enter this zone. Anything alive that enters the
zone is considered Sickened for as long as they are
within, loses any ability to heal and loses a d6 HP per
hour. Water from this zone is prized in black markets.
192
3. The Garden of Allah – Named by the Muslim mystic
that first explored it after the aliens left, the Garden of
Allah is a large 300,000-acre jungle of amazing beauty
located in Central Africa. This jungle was transformed
into a primordial land of long extinct, giant flora and
fauna, mixed with alien vegetation. The aliens actually
warped time in this zone, mixing several Earth’s by-
gone eras together. Dinosaurs and other pre-historic
creatures roam this land, along with unusual alien
beasts. Most of them are docile, but some of the
denizens are aggressive maneaters. A race of large
gorilla-like beasts, the Eklamol, live in the center of the
zone, guarding a series of ancient runes. A tribe of
Elves claimed the southern edge in 922 CE and have
defended the land and its creatures ever since.
C.A.R.E. rarely allows any intrusions into this pristine
jungle, maintaining nature preserves as a buffer,
around the non-southern edges of the zone.
4. The Bezna Forest – This infamous forest is located in
Northern Romania, parts of the Southern Ukraine and
a small portion of Moldva. It is a dark and terrifying
350,000 acres filled with undead and monsters.
Several different kingdoms claim portions of this
cursed land, including the Council of the Midnight
Lakes, a tribe of werewolves, a tribe of werebears, an
independent vampire kingdom, an ambitious
necromancer and a handful of small, but hardy human
kingdoms. Outsiders are looked upon with great
suspicion throughout the Benza Forest.
5. The Lost Land – This bizarre section of the Amazon
jungle in Northern Brazil, known as the Lost Land, is
a vast 400,000-acre area that is unknown to the
general public. It is surrounded by a government
animal sanctuary that is off-limits to the public. Within
the Lost Land is a world that was ravaged by the alien
visit. It is a twisted, desolate land of madness that is
ruled over by demonic forces and a race of
cannibalistic humanoids, known as the Ayamuk. The
Lost Land often has massive dimensional shifts, that
changes the terrain, climate and vegetation in large or

193
 small areas, for hours, days or months. All the while, the
demonic forces and the Ayamuk remain unchanged. Vast
riches, magical items, herbs that grant immortality,
among other dream items are rumored to be located
within the zone, tempting those few that learn of its
existence to explore it. The demons and Ayamuk love to
feed on the flesh of those ill-fated explorers.
6. Icthiqouina, Home of the Gods – A large, rocky island,
located just north of the Queen Elizabeth Islands in
Northern Canada, was known to the native population
for centuries as Icthiqouina, the Home of the Gods. The
island is a large mountain that has a 11,000’ summit
that levels out into a large 30,000-acre plateau. Atop the
plateau sits a massive, maze-like structure of incredible
alien beauty. It looks like it was carved out of ice, but the
material appears to be unbreakable, or alterable. Within
are wandering, alien creatures that have unusual,
grotesque features that make those that see them go
mad. The zone is also known for its time reversing effect
for those that enter! However, the longer one stays on the
island, the more their mind and psyche are destroyed.
7. Strugyana – This beautiful, 8000-acre forest located just
East of the Yana River in Siberia, is a land of hidden
danger. The land appears the picture of tranquility, but
any that enter this zone without knowledge of its perils
will quickly meet a horrible end. One may step into a
beautiful meadow and be instantly gelatinized. A jaunt
down a woodland path may result in spontaneous
combustion. For a thousand years, scholars of the
unknown have been drawn to this zone. Many notable
mystics and Psions have written that the secrets of
immortality, enlightenment, alchemy and omniscience
lay within the zone.
A small clan of Ice Elves live here and are knowledgeable
of the zone’s dangers. Some Psions and spellcasters
claim they can navigate the zone without trouble, and
will sneak parties into Strugyana, for a price.
The Red Dam heavily guard this area.

194
The Forbidden Reserve – A massive area of forest and
swampland located in Northeastern Siberia. It was created
by an international treaty in the 18th century as a place of
refuge for displaced and persecuted beings. It is home to
many races of creatures, monsters and animals. It is
protected by magical barriers, illusions and keen-eyed, Elven
archers. The central area is under an ancient spell that
makes it warmer during the winter, allowing for agriculture
and warmer forests. The city of Pedratkol is within the central
area. It is known for a large, diverse humanoid population
and its beautiful mixture of 18th century Russian
architecture and magical enchantment. Pedratkol is a city of
peace, with large gardens, prestigious schools, crystal music
halls and is home to the Rzyo Academy, the world’s foremost
rune-tattoo training center.

Several ancient ruins of unknown cultures have been
discovered, but kept a secret to the general populace.

Aral Sea Region: (Kazakhstan) Large ruins of a race that

seems to have been 10’ tall. They seem to date to thousands
of years before Mesopotamia.

Atlantis: A huge sunken city sets at the bottom of the

Atlantic near Bermuda. Its origins are unknown, but some
think it may have been Atlantis or a Greek settlement.

Ebon Pyramid: Massive pyramid that sets on an isolated

island in the Indian Ocean, between Australia and Heard
Island. The pyramid is etched from black rock and is covered
with alien writings that even the Pleiadeans are unfamiliar
with. Thus far, nobody has been able to open it.

195
Madagascar: (Northern Coast) Human sized ruins that may
be Phoenician in origin. Many of the writings tell of a war
between humans and a merfolk race from the Indian Ocean.

Mu: 3 settlements discovered on islands in Polynesia. The

cities seem to be the ruins of Chinese settlements from the
2nd century CE! This gives some credence to the idea of Mu
(a super island civilization in the Pacific that parallels
Atlantis).

Pendleton’s Portcullis: A prison for ghosts and incorporeal

entities named for a famous ghost hunter. It is located in
Central Australia and has a small ghost hunting academy
there.

Rusev’s Gulag: A notorious prison camp of the Red Dam. It

has normal human prisoners and many supernatural
creatures within its walls. The prisoners are forced into hard
labor and often die before they have any hope of release.

Ryndgramash Forest – A large forest and rock field that

stretches across Northern Norway, Sweden and Finland. It is
home to many trolls and other magical creatures. It does not
have, or need, much security, due to its extreme remoteness
and haunted reputation. Hemrokkol the Snowbringer rules
the Troll Kingdom from the Icebrawn Throne.

Pacific Northwest – Known for its heavy Bigfoot and fairy

activity. It was once a center of supernatural activity, but is
still recovering from a destructive war between Vampires and
Were-beasts that occurred in the 1990’s.

196
Worldweb of the Athens Three – Known to many as the A-
Web, the Worldweb of the Athens Three is a global network
of trading bazaars that deal in mundane, mystical and alien
goods. Almost every major city in the world has an
underground bazaar located in a secret, well-guarded
location. Almost anything can be found in the A-Web, but
they do not deal in slavery (although they will try to free any
enslaved parties they encounter), body parts, exploitation of
sentient beings and other things considered heinous by most
civilizations.
The A-Web was created during the Pax Romana in Rome,
Alexandria, Athens, Ephesus and many other places in 105
CE. It was formed by three Imperishable women that have
been working together for a few centuries. Although all three
are wealthy beyond words, they donate millions each year to
good causes and have created many charities throughout
history.
Founders of the A-Web
-Nefili, “Athena’s Daughter”: She is a 2600-year-old Greek
Psion of great power, the group’s leader, and perhaps the wisest
person on the planet. She lives on her own private island in
Greece. She has a library of antiquities that rivals any of the
world’s greatest universities.
-Thesan the Finder: A 2200-year-old Etruscan Arcane Thief,
known for her great talent to discover lost objects. She was once
a famous archeologist that had her own tv show on PBS that
taught young people about antiquity and lost worlds. She faked
her death for the show, because she grew tired of living a public
life. She lives in London and represents the A-Web on the World
Council.
-Zandana the Everbeauty, aka “Coins”: A 1900+ year old
Mystic and master of economics. She was born in Zanzibar to a
native princess and a Persian nobleman. As a teen, on a trip to
North Africa, their family’s ship was captured by pirates and
Zandana was sold into slavery. Luckily, she was purchased and
freed by Thesan and Nefili. She was unaware of her
Imperishable status when she met them. They saw her great
potential as a mathematical genius, and knew her great beauty
would be a great draw for the bazaars. She is called “Coins” by
her close friends and lives atop a large skyscraper in the top 4
floors.

197
Notable A-Web Locations
Athens I: The oldest bazaars, Athens has the best selection
of artifacts on Earth.
The London Dungeon: By far the bazaar with the most
potions and it has a large, underworld theater.
Moscow Dawn: The largest bazaar in a country controlled by
the Red Dam. Restricted to sell approved items, this bazaar
has been shrinking every year.
New York City Under: The largest bazaar on Earth can be
found well below NYC. It has immense variety and it draws

have to know who to ask. As of late, the owners have been
eyeing expansion into other South American countries.

The Death Well: One of the most difficult markets to find,

the Death Well is a chamber of horrors that deals in slaves,
body parts, assassin contracts, government secrets, stolen
goods and much worse. Owned by a Doppelganger
Necromancer, known as Y’hi Frir, the Infinite Well, The Death
Well moves every few months, but is always in a place of
corruption, political unrest, rebellion or war. It is currently
just north of Damascus.

198
Hell Hole Club: A secret night club/ market that changes its
location weekly. They offer a plethora of drugs and liquors,
legal and those that are banned, and are known for sex

armed, fleet of floating yachts that have been converted into
market for alternative & often illegal medicines, drugs and
procedures. For a high price, one can find access to bionic
augmentations, alien implants, reconstructive surgery,
smuggled plant and animal life. One ship, the Red-tailed
Mermaid, is an infamous pleasure boat for those rich clients
to recover from their procedures upon. It sails in the Indian
and Pacific Oceans, from The Rea Sea to Manila.

199
Adventure Seeds
Abandoned Asylum
A popular spot just out of town, the Abandoned Asylum,
draws bored kids, horny teens, paranormal investigators and
thrill seekers alike. The Abandoned Asylum, once known as
the Windward Heights Hospital, has stood since the early
1800’s as many things; a hospital, a metal asylum, a
sanitarium, an orphanage and now a symbol of haunted
decay. The last patient died there in 1944 and the doors were
shut for the last time. Since then, it has been left to be
destroyed vandalized by kids. Although guarded by security,
the willing found ways to get in, and rumors quickly spread
that the asylum was haunted by the ghosts of dead children
and tortured patients.
Possible Scenarios:
• Can your group break into and spend a night the night
there?
• Deep within the sub-basement of the asylum there is
rumored to be some very damning, medical papers
that would fetch a large bounty from certain people.
• A séance on the roof sounds like a great idea.
• A Death Metal band is hosting a concert in the old
morgue in the basement. What could possibly go
wrong?
• A serial killer is stalking the trespassers and security
guards at night.
• A wild beast is hunting those that dare trespass.
• You are sent in as security for The Ghost Gals TV
show, as they film an episode.

201
The Body Stacker
Along the shores of the Pacific Ocean, on some of the most
beautiful beaches in the world, someone, or something, has
been leaving grizzly totems of death. Every 28 days several
large pillars of severed body parts have been left at various
coastal locations. The parts are always built in a tall
column, composed of many different people’s limbs and
heads.

Possible Scenarios
• Who, or what, is doing this? Why are they doing this? How are
they doing this?
• Who are the victims? Do they have anything in common? Is
there a pattern to their placement?
• Cult activity and magic usage in the desecrated areas is
much higher than usual, but decreased after the totems are
found.
• There has been a large uptick in the amount of missing
people reported in Northern California, Coastal Oregon and
Coastal Washington area. An in-depth investigation will
reveal that the majority of the victims have been cult
members or those with mystic powers. This knowledge is not
known to the general public, but is common knowledge to
paranormal and governmental investigation teams. Does
something have it out for casters?
• A famous shock tv reporter, Jason Myers, has brought his
media circus to the latest site. During his investigation, his
chief producer, Melody Magnuson, has disappeared. A cryptic
note and one of her fingers were sent to the local authorities.
• Those that see the body totems may make an Arcana DC: 22
check. If they pass, they can tell that the totems are
configured in the shape of a ward against Outsiders.
• Those that are able to investigate the skin of those on the
totem, and make an Arcana DC: 28 check, will notice that
many of the body parts are covered in Rune Tattoos.
Although invisible, these tattoos leave mystical traces that
experienced spellcasters can detect.
• Rumors abound of a secret organization that is hunting
mystics. It is said that they seek to strike terror into the
hearts of the lower leveled casters, so that they may walk
away from the arcane arts and return to a normal life. Others
say that these totems are being created to ward off a powerful
entity from the Pacific shores.

202
The Truth of the Body Stacker
Several years ago, a group of were-beasts split away from the
Silver Vice, the most anti-magic were-beast Fangkin, to create
their own group that is hellbent on removing the influence of
the mystic arts from the Pacific shores. Initially, the group,
taking up the name Charm Splinters, worked with the local
Fangkins to repel magic and destroy relics. However, the
Charm Splinters’ leader, a were-bear known as Caveheart
Urnsmash, became more violent and would often torture
mystics and antique dealers of little power. Soon after,
Caveheart began killing more mystics, leaving their heads on
tree branches and fence posts as a warning to other
spellcasters to flee the area immediately. The Silver Vice and
the Everclear Fangkins called for Caveheart to cease his
activities or they would call a hunt for his head, but this
threat magnified his lust for magic blood and his killings
increased.

For the last few years, the organized Fangkins have worked
hand in hand with other the local authorities to hunt down
Caveheart Urnsmash and the Charm Splinters, but they have
had little success. The group is very secretive and seems to
move quite often. The Charm Splinters have a small, but loyal,
group of non-paranormal followers that resupply them and
gather information on cults and mystics as well. Caveheart
has officially declared any nature-based mystic, or caster, that
only uses magic in defense of the woods and sea is free from
persecution as long as they stay out of the Charm Splinters
way.

Caveheart Urnsmasher began his crusade against magic when

he started having violent, water-soaked nightmares of a
gargantuan, alien entity coming a shore somewhere in the
Pacific Northwest. This monstrous beast was led by an army of
cultists and spellcasters, as they laid waste to city after city.
Caveheart took these dreams as a vision of an upcoming
apocalypse that would destroy man, were-beast and all the
animals on Earth. He knew it was his destiny to squash the
activity of the cultists and casters in the area. However, his

204
creative lust for murder was ignited by his wife, Dr. Thorneyes
Mahamat, a werewolf archeologist, that shares her husband’s
bloodlust. However, she thought a little showmanship may
spread the terror, so she suggested that Caveheart arrange the
victims in the forms of great totems. She claims that these
totems also act as a system of wards that will repel the
creature in her husband’s dreams as long as they continue to
kill its harbingers and allies. Thorneyes hopes that the less
worshipers it has, the less powerful it will be?

The Charm Splinters: This group, only recognized as a

criminal organization by the other Fangkins, is a close-knit
unit of were-beasts, warriors and scholars that work
throughout Northern California, Western Oregon, Western
Washington and the Canadian Pacific Coast. The membership
share the goals of its leader, repelling all casters out of the
area, by any violent means necessary, and to prevent the
unknown alien entity from assaulting the West Coast. It is
estimated that the Charm Splinters have 100+ members (20 or
so were-beasts) and maybe 500+ associates. Charm Splinters
are forbidden from using magic items or weapons. They
destroy them in secret passages that lead to the volcanic tubes
on the coast.

Melody Magnuson: The TV producer captured by The Charm

Splinters, Melody Magnuson, was close to uncovering the
secret of the group. She had just discovered the secret
histories of were-beast Fangkins and personally saw
Caveheart kill a young mystic in battle. She was captured and
brutally interrogated by the group, spilling all she knew
immediately. Sadly, Caveheart’s sadistic nature led to him
ripping off one her fingers. Thorneyes would send the finger
and an intentionally cryptic note to her news channel, with
hopes only to confuse them. Melody is currently being held in
a cage in a cave near the California/ Oregon border (the next
totem stack will be in a few days, just south of Brookings,
OR). Think her channel would pay handsomely for her return?

205
Dr. Thorneyes Mahamat
Born Taaj Mahamat, a refugee from Chad & the Sudan that
escaped into Egypt as a young child. She excelled at writing
and history as a child, enrolling at Stanford at the age of
16. There, she would split time at Stanford and the
University of Oregon, studying Native American history and
culture. Gaining her doctorate at just 20, she took a
teaching position at a small college, south of Portland, OR,
that specializes in Native American culture and history.
There she took the name “Thorneyes”, an old nickname she
acquired in Chad because of her serpentine green eyes.
Though quick tempered, Dr. Mahamat would not begin to
show any homicidal tendencies until she met her future
husband at protest in Portland. There a peaceful
demonstration was turned chaotic by a group of local
youths that breached a police barricade, starting a full
street riot. Caveheart Urnsmasher led the riot that resulted
in the deaths of 4 civilians and 6 peace officers. Dr.
Mahamat saw Caveheart’s murderous actions on the streets
that day, but she felt compelled to aid him in her fury. The
two instantly fell in love and have worked together ever
since. She is convinced that her husband’s dreams are a
portent of an upcoming apocalypse that only they can stop.

207
Caveheart Urnsmasher
Caveheart Urnsmasher grew up in the ranks of Silver Vice
Fangkin. Turned as a young child, due to his tenacity, he
has spent his life fighting against the influence of mystics
on his coastal homeland. Caveheart became a powerful
warrior, but always carried an animosity against authority.
He would often go too far in his training, harming allies and
enemies alike, giving him a great glee in hurting others, and
eventually ending their lives.

Caveheart formed the Charm Splinters as a mobile hunting

pack that would quickly take out magical, vampiric and
other problems. The group was vicious and went well
beyond their orders, but they were always successful, so
they were given leeway from the other Fangkins. Eventually,
their excessive body count and collateral damage, led to the
Were-beast Fangkins to expel the Charm Splinters from
their ranks.

As Caveheart kills the mystically inclined, his dreams

become clearer. He sees the finish line, and is compelled to
build more elaborate totems and to erase the influence of
casters from his lands. Maybe then his were-brothers will
see his foresight and welcome him back into fold.

Cemetery Investigation
You and your team are sent to do a night investigation of a local
cemetery that has a reputation for the supernatural. After
spending the day setting up your gear and tents, you build a fire
and set down to relax as the sun goes down. After a few minutes,
the sound of eerie moans cascade among the headstones. At first
it is quite off putting, but soon the moans get louder and dark
silhouettes can be seen shambling up the hill towards you.
Possible Scenarios:
• It begins to pour down rain out of nowhere. The rain is so
heavy and acidic, it pushes the group to an old, abandoned
building that used to serve as a crematorium and
caretaker’s storage site. As the moans and silhouettes come
closer, the group must find a way into the building and
must hold off a small horde of zombies.
• While investigating the graveyard, one of your group (or an
NPC) discovers a box of small cans. The labels have worn
away and they look like beer cans. They decide to crack it
open, but instead of beer, they get a face of green gas. They
instantly turn green and mindlessly attack everyone in
sight.
• During the investigation, someone notices an odd, old grave
that is isolated in a shady corner. Upon further inspection
the grave is covered in many arcane symbols and various
Latin words. If read, a flash of blue light shoots from the
base of the tombstone. Afterwards, nothing unusual
happens for an hour or so. As the group finishes up building
the campfire, they hear the moans and are attacked by a
group of zombies. The only nearby structure is a small
church.
• The group discovers an old, metal door in the side of a hill.
Upon entering they discover a WW II-era shelter that looks
like it was ransacked many years ago. Further inspection
reveals a lab full of destroyed equipment and bones
scattered about. If they try to leave, the group discovers the
door has been closed and blocked. There are several
zombies or ghosts in the bunker.
• Séance will reveal several ghosts in the cemetery.

210
The Grey Shuck
The Grey Shuck are growing religious cult that owns several
thousand acres in Western Illinois along the Mississippi
River. They have a compound in the town of Dullwater that
is off limits to anyone that is not a member. Unknown to the
general public, they are well armed and worship an
unearthly entity known as Xaqonipes. Publicly they are
known for being devout, being quiet, wearing grey clothing
and selling the most delicious corn in the Midwest.

They secretly abduct transients and those that meddle to

closely in their affairs, turning them into mindless slaves that
work the fields and to be sacrifices for their secret master.
They are led by Darius Shuck, a 60-year-old millionaire that
runs the church and the corn business. He always wears a
grey suit and drives a grey van with blacked out windows.
Those in the cult follow him blindly as he represents
Xaqonipes’ will.

tentacles. It may try to Absorb a living being with less than
10% of their starting HP. Absorbing a living, humanoid target
counts as a sacrifice. Those Absorbed cannot move or do
anything, but speak and take a d8 Magic damage each round
until Xaqonipes manifests out of our reality. Leaving this
dimension will release any Absorb that are still alive.

Possible Scenarios:
• Your team is sent into one the Grey Shuck’s town to
gather information.
• Your party happens upon a Grey Shuck town after a
breakdown.
• A member of your family has disappeared in a Grey
Shuck town, or they have voluntarily joined the cult.

The Glob
A meteor falls from the sky and crashes into a large barn on a farm about
10 miles outside of a major US city. The area has been quarantined and
your team has been sent in to investigate.

You arrive at the farm shortly after midnight and are escorted to the barn.
The barn has a large hole in the roof, with a pulsating, glowing green light
shining through it.

Those that enter the barn see a massive, green globule that pulsates and
throbs. Within it you can see a few cows, a rusty old pick up and a few
chickens floating around the green glob. The Glob pulsates and smells of
death. It just sets there slowly growing, absorbing the rest of the contents
of the barn. It begins to slowly move once it eats the barn, or it takes 10
damage. It begins to move towards a nearby power plant, via power lines.
Can the party stop it?

The Glob (Ooze)

The Glob just feeds, grows and moves. It is attracted to large amounts
of energy (power plants, electric lines, generators, etc.). If it feeds on a
large enough power source, the Glob will split into another d4 copies of
itself.

and psionic damage. Physical range attacks bounce off the Glob. It also
has no mind to be affected by psionics. It does not breathe. It ignores
terrain, can climb up any surface and floats. Weakness – extreme cold
will slow it to 0 move, but does no damage. Magic does normal damage.

213
Haunted House
Your group is sent to a reported, haunted house for one of
many varying reasons. The house is on an isolated
backroad, in the outskirts of a major city, on a 30-acre plot
of forest land along the shores of a beautiful lake or river.
The house is dark and menacing, with almost no visible,
outside lights. It seems moderately maintained, but does
not appear to be the safest, or sturdiest, of locations.

Possible Scenarios for your investigation: (d20)

1. Perform a normal paranormal investigation of a noted
ghost hot spot. It turns out to be nothing.
2. Confirm a haunting, and possibly clear the house via
exorcism or some other means.
3. Conduct an investigation of what locals consider an
obvious hoax. The site has a long history of exposed
frauds.
4. Recover the cameras and gear of a ghost hunting group
that disappeared in the house a few weeks earlier. The
owners are way too frightened to return to the house.
Their locally famous Ghost-Toaster van still sits in the
drive way.
5. Find a Native American relic of great value, or
importance, rumored to be hidden within the basement.
6. Find a tome of magic within a hidden library in the
house.
7. There is rumored to be a portal to another dimension
hidden within an antique mirror somewhere in the
house.
8. Follow a Ghost TV Show as they investigate and film an
episode or documentary. Your team will be the true
experts behind the scenes, while actors will perform for
the cameras.
9. Capture a ghost on film, while investigating the legend
of the ghost’s murder. Maybe you can solve the murder
as well?
10.Last year a family was murdered in the house. The new
owners have began reporting eerie encounters,
including physical manifestations of spirits and
damaged property. Investigate overnight and report
214
 back to the family.
11.Large, hairy humanoids have been throwing rocks at
the house, after screaming for several hours. Investigate
and track them.
12.Slimy creatures from the nearby water have been
damaging the docks and terrorizing the family dogs.
Investigate and run these creatures off of the land.
13.Search the home of a recently departed Necromancer for
a secret laboratory and library. The mystic worked at
the local university hospital, where they would steal
corpses for experiments.
14.The house is not really haunted, it is just full of traps
and something that is worth hiding.
15.You are sent to an abandoned, haunted house to
investigate some local animal mutilations, only to
discover that the house is being squatted by a pack of
wild were-beasts.
16.The house is occupied by a cult that is not open to
outsiders. It has a history of possession and poltergeist
activity. I bet the basement will have some sort of portal
and wiggly tentacles in it.
17.The house also has a large graveyard on the property.
Many rumors abound about zombies and various other
undead controlling the land.
18.Your group is challenged to spend the night in the
haunted house for a large cash prize. Unbeknownst to
the group, there is a psion there attempting to drive all
of the group into Madness.
19.A new paranormal tv show has offered a large money
prize to anyone that can catch clear paranormal activity
on film. This house could be the perfect place to get that
footage. However, you have competition.
20.The previous owner of the house disappeared and their
heirs are freaked out by the massive amounts of dolls in
the house (literally thousands). The family hires you to
search the house for clues to the whereabouts of the
missing relative. See Charlotte’s Haunted Dolls below.

Charlotte’s Haunted Dolls
Within this haunted house, each room has dozens of dolls on display,
even in the kitchen and bathrooms. The dolls range from vintage,
porcelain, China dolls to hand sewn children’s play toys, and everything
between. All of the dolls give off an odd aura each character notices, but
they cannot pinpoint the cause of the odd sensation or why it is
happening. Those with Knowledge: Psychic Phenomenon can make a
DC: 22 check to determine that there is a powerful, psychic force within
the house.
The house was owned by a shut-in named Charlotte that spent her life
collecting, writing about and creating dolls. She was also heavily
involved in paranormal research. She has recently disappeared without
a trace. Maybe she is somewhere in the house or on the property?
As the party progresses through the house, they should be occasionally
assailed by the Ornamental Dolls, and then the Tall Dollies, before
eventually discovering Charlotte herself.

All Dolls are immune to mind-affecting effects, Madness, Poisons,

Stuns, being Sickened, Diseases & Critical Hits.

would be victims. These dolls are very small, standing less than 3’ tall.

Serial Killer in the Forest
You and your friends have decided to spend the weekend
camping at one of the most beautiful recreational places in
your area. This forest draws tourists from all over the
country to the area, and the money they spend in the area is
important to the local economy. Beyond the beauty, you
have been drawn by the legends of little monsters, lake
serpents and bigfoot only add to the drawing power of the
area. Other legends are not so well touted by locals to
visitors. The Forest Killer is one such legend. Well known in
town, but rarely mentioned in the news, The Forest Killer is
a major part of local lore. Starting in the 1960's several
campers in the southern part of the forest were found hacked
up in a most gruesome way. Every few years a rash of
murders and disappearances will plague the area, reminding
the town that the killer is still out there.
Possible Scenarios:
• A Blood Cult has been working out of the forest and
needs to collect occasional sacrifices. They have
magical masks that power them.
• A group of mental patients escaped their metal boxes
and roam the woods looking for victims.
• A solitary maniac is responsible for the deaths.
• Aliens that were abandoned their brethren lurk the
woods seeking human flesh.
• A Native American brave performed a dark ritual 200
years ago in hopes of defending the woods from the
Europeans.
• A Savage Bigfoot clan claims dominion of the area.

The Forest Killer

The Forest Killer will not attack anyone under 18 years old.
He will attempt to scare them away and has even been known
to grab them. He will always seem to give his potential
victims a chance to run away. Most of them he lets go, but
occasionally he will relentlessly follow a victim and kill them
in the most horrible of ways.
The killer's real name is Makwa, a teenage, Shawnee warrior
whose parents were killed by settlers in the early 1800's.

218
While left alone in the woods, he discovered a cave that
contained a large, black, flint club and a mud caked mask.
Upon dawning the mask, he became possessed by a
woodland spirit and became compelled to guard the woods
and lake from those of pure evil. This spirit will freely perform
evil deeds upon evil to enact its will. Makwa stands 7', wears
a mud-covered mask, is caked in mud and wields a flint club.
He cannot leave the forest or lake area.

knocked off, it returns Makwa to his human form (8 HP) with
no powers for 1 minute (it will reform or reappear on his face
after that time).

219
Watch the Skies
You are part of a group that sets up on a mountain several
miles outside of Area 51 to observe the skies above the
base. While setting up your camp and scientific gear, you
notice that a few other groups are also setting up on other
nearby ridges and hills. In the far distance, two black SUVs
can be seen on an off-limits mound, parked facing you and
the other curious groups. Looks like it will be a busy night.
Before the night is over, your group wishes to do the
following:
• Finish setting up the tents and equipment before
sundown.
• Take some mineral & plant samples from the area.
• Confirm if this spot has a good vantage point for
future stakeouts.
• Catch some video of some good UFO activity.
• Watch for activity on the ground at the base.
• Fix up some burgers on the grill.

Extended, if unrealistic, goals

• Find some physical evidence of a UFO.
• Catch some distinct UFO footage above the site.
• Catch an alien on film.
• Attract a UFO to land and communicate with the
group.
• Capture a UFO or an Alien.

220
While taking part in the evening activates, the following
events may occur: (d8)
1. Nothing much happens. It is a clear, starry night and
you do not see even a single plane or shooting star.
2. The still night turns into a torrential downpour,
causing flash flooding. Your camp is ruined, but you
make it out in one piece. However, the neighboring
camp fares far worse than you. Their screams mix
with the sound of thunder as the storm progresses.
3. You get some good aerial footage of some unknown
lights above the base.
4. Members of another research group have snuck into
your camp to sabotage your efforts.
5. Government officials pull into a neighboring camp
and arrest the group and burn their camp.
Afterwards, two of their trucks speed toward your
camp.
6. A mysterious man approaches your camp from the
desert. He looks exhausted, is dressed in dusty
survival gear and looks like he has been in the wilds
for several days. He falls at the edge of camp with a
beat-up laptop in this hand. He says “When Jose was
6 years old, his little sister, Leila, was half is age. If
Jose is 40 years old today, how old is Leila?” and then
passes out. *His laptop password is Leila37 (37 is the
answer to the riddle). His laptop has tons of classified
information and videos of UFOs and aliens.
7. Your group has a secret plan to sabotage another
group of investigators on a neighboring hill.
8. During a thunderstorm you see a small, saucer-
shaped vehicle fly over the base, heading towards
your base. The vehicle looks to be in trouble as it
spins through the air and crashes into the desert just
past your camp. As it smashes into the desert soil, it
slides hundreds of feet into a rock out-cropping.
From each side of your hill, you see the headlights of
off-road vehicles come on and start to head toward
the crash. See The Crash below.

221
The Crash
Hard rain pelts the metal surface of the craft as it slams
into the rocks, causing a large, jagged gash to rip open in
its side. A blistering steam spews forth from the gash, filling
the area around the craft with a warm, thin mist (Spot
checks and range attacks into the steam are done at -2).

-Anyone that approaches within 40’ may make a Spot DC:

18 check to notice a quick darting movement within the
ship. Right before the first person gets to the ship, a 3’ tall,
space-suited creature jumps from the hole. It falls to the
ground and crawls toward the first person. The suit is a
pale teal, with a metallic helmet that has a small antenna
jutting from the top. On its chest is a huge 3-fingered claw
mark that is drenched in a slimy, green substance. The
creature suddenly makes an odd, gurgling noise and
suddenly stops crawling.

-If anybody attempts to remove the creature’s helmet, it

comes off quite easily to reveal a round, hairless, orange
head with three glowing eyes and a circular mouth. It says
something unintelligible and points a shaking finger toward
the craft before slumping over to die.

-Anyone that stand next to the craft, or peeps in, will be

Surprise Attacked by the Trumoporr. The creature will
attack until it feels unthreatened or until it is well
outnumbered.

-While encounter goes on, the other teams will arrive, as

will the team from the military base shortly after the others.
The military team will try to apprehend the aliens, as well
as the investigators.

-Feel free to power up the Trumoporr, or increase their

numbers for balance.

222
Trumoporr (Beast)
This alien creature is the size of a large dog, with a thinner,
monkey-type body. It moves on all fours, but attacks from a
bipedal position. Its head is small, with no visible eyes and
a large, jagged toothed maw. It has long arms with sharp
talons on its prehensile hands. Its skin is almost
transparent when it moves, and a light silver when it
attacks. It makes a sparking, electric sound as it moves and
attacks.
