EARTH: AFTER DEATH

The Wastelander’s Handbook is a player’s guide to creating a character and delving into the Wastelands of the New World in Earth: After Death, the spiritual successor to Gamma World. This novel d20-based system brings the advanced systems and crunch of 80s and 90s RPGs back in a digestible and easy-to-understand format, guaranteed to be Crystal Clear*!

Earth: After Death is an old-school roleplaying game designed and billed as the spiritual successor to TSR’s Gamma World. Combining the terror of classic dungeon crawling with modern quality of life improvements and a novel new d20-driven system, Earth: After Death is perfect for both old-school gamers and those wanting to experience more than what 5e has to offer.

Contains everything you need to run your first games including:

– 5 starting Strains of humanity, including Abandoned mutants, the eclectic Ghost machines, and just bog-standard humans.
– Full lists for weapons, armour, and exploration items like gas masks.
– A Level-Up system that uses Skill Points as well as intermittent Perks – just like Fallout!
– A new easy-to-use tracking system for resources like food and energy, as well as an abstract ammunition system that makes gunplay feel crunchy without the busywork.
– Over 100 mutations, rules of Stress and Rad accumulation, and bartering rules.
– Contains the Overseer’s Pamphlet to get GM’s prepped for running games and dolling out rewards.
– Rules for dungeon- and hex-crawling, including accounting for encumbrance, radiation, and more!
