PunkApocalyptic: The RPG

Selected Option:

Let's F@cking Do This!

The rich and powerful hid themselves in massive, fortified cities and left the rest of the world devastated. Those left behind now struggle to find the resources they need to survive in a world gone mad. Life is cheap in a landscape dominated by vicious gangs, dangerous mutants, and predatory monsters spawned by the strange chemicals and radiation released in the last days. Welcome to the Wasteland. Welcome to PunkApocalyptic: The RPG!

Based on the world introduced in PunkApocalyptic by Bad Roll Games, this book gives you everything you need to explore, fight, and, maybe, survive in the Wasteland. You and your friends create mercenaries and go on missions, sometimes for people who need your help and other times for scum who have resources you just can’t find anywhere else. You’ll fight mutants, battle cultists, get in a shooting war with the V Reich bastards, all while crossing a toxic landscape haunted by the wreckage of the past.

A complete roleplaying game, PunkApocalyptic: The RPG uses a modified version of Shadow of the Demon Lord’s game system, which focuses on short campaigns, flexible character development, and a streamlined set of rules anyone can learn and use. You want to play a builder and spend your time creating all sorts of weird technology, a mutant armed with psychic powers, or an unhinged psychopath who just loves to kill? This book has you covered. 

A wild, irreverent take on roleplaying games, PunkApocalyptic’s nasty tone reflects the horrors of the world and sets the stage for the awesome adventures you and your friends will have exploring the Wasteland. 

WARNING: This book uses naughty language, explores adult concepts, and shows a boob or three. For this reason, PunkApocalyptic: The RPG might not be appropriate for everyone and is intended for immature audiences of 16 years and older.

It is lighter than 5e, the core is a light D20+d6. But there are a lot of meta to track, HP, grit, bullets, mutant points, psionic points and more.

this is the best post apoc game i have ever played. i have played most of the big names out there, and even dug deep and reprinted some of the old fallout IP and stitched them into books... nothing has been as simple and effective as this game.

the lack of specific rules, but enough backbone to have anything happen... is amazing. most of the time, crafting and scavanging is a 'lets get pizza while this player does his solo thing' and in this its smooth as buttcheeks.

can't recommend this enough. enough tools to make a deep detailed world, and with a rules lite approach you are free to craft your stories or be able to improv on the fly with the players like none other.

I just picked up this game. It looks like a blast I was looking for a character sheet on roll20 for it, but I didn't see one. Did I miss it or does it not exist?

Hi! Since we are really busy (family, jobs, etc.), can it be played with only a GM and one player? Or like SotDL as a group...

Any chance we could get an updated character sheet that (A) is fillable, (B) has space to include attribute values and not just mods, (C) accurately reflects the rulebook which doesn't mention anything about a "Pts" parameter for armor and does not seem to utilize a "Luck" stat? I'm excited to start a campaign with my group next week but the current character sheet is a bit of a mess.

Fun fact (related to p.72): "Schiesser" would be the one who shoots. "Scheisser" is the one who shits. :)

Sometimes you can't help, but love when they give an honest description of the game.

Intended for immature audiences of 16 years and older. If you didn't read this line than you missed half of the point of this book... which is to take the absurd and have fun with it.

Funny, but oddly enough seems a little lacking in mutations or 'minor' mutations. Still it is an interesting read and what I expect for an RPG selling for $20.

The heavy background colour and texture makes this book a real pain to read. Just awful and extremely disappointing. I’ll take the financial loss ’cause I’m not gonna bother. When will rpg makers learn that a clean, legible layout is not too good for us?

For another opinion I did not find the background colour & texture to be bothering at all, did not even incur to me that someone would before I read your comment.
For my personal opinion it is actually a suitable, invoking the proper feel, for the game.

A fine example of not being able to always please everyone.

Besides the game seems to be of similar excellent quality as SotDL and thus can hardly be called a financial loss.

Agree. Background texture / text contrast is horrible My eyes start bleeding after 5 minutes of reading. This needs to be fixed.

Could the background color be done as a layer in an update to the PDF? As with the original poster, it's giving me trouble reading it. Done that way, it could be displayed or removed as needed. Sure, you can't please everyone, but this might go a long way in that direction.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
