The Devil's Run RPG core book will introduce our own innovative TriCore ruleset - a lightweight system that seeks to seamlessly integrate story and action whilst keeping the game focussed on the players.[PRBREAK][/PRBREAK] [ATTACH]83040[/ATTACH]The core book will not only greatly expand upon the factions that have already been introduced by the board games, but will also introduce several new ones. It will also delve further into the history of the setting, from the very Day of the Apocalypse to its current timeline, some twenty years later. Global affairs will also be explored, including a closer look at the new super powers that contend on the world stage.Rather than act as two separate entities that share the same setting, part of our aim is to also provide as much cross-platform support as possible for the Devil's Run board game. With your help, we are aiming to introduce a stunning range of 28mm character miniatures, but with the very same stretch goal, will also be unlocking their accompanying 20mm vehicles and stat cards. The RPG core book and any supplements we unlock will include sample board game stats for notable npcs, which means that play can easily flow between the two mediums - should you wish it to, of course. Please note, however, that there is absolutely no need to pick up either the miniatures or the board game in order to enjoy the zany mayhem of the Devil's Run RPG! As a pen-and-paper game of post-apocalyptic storytelling, the RPG can be used to provide endless entertainment all on its own.

Russia and much of China disappeared in the wake of the first strike launched by the United States, but their retaliatory bombardments razed the East Coast and most of the central states. Spared widescale nuclear devastation, the population centres of the West Coast were instead subjected to the horrors of the Revenat Virus: a deadly and virulent chemical that creates rage-feulled zombies out of the living.Blind luck or the hand of the devil himself saved San Francisco from a fate worse than death on the Day of the Apocalypse. Although the city suffered its own wounds as a result of that tumultuous day, it rapidly became a haven for any survivors that could survive the journey to the so-called "'safe zone." In the twenty years since, new factions that have risen from the ashes of the Old World have turned San Fran's streets into a hotly contested warzone as each vies for domination over the others.To meet the initial humanitarian obligations that they set themselves, the other countires of the world continue to send aid packages north of the Mexican wall that defines the Quarantine Zone. It is these air drops that most often send the factions into a frenzy of roaring engines and blazing guns as they seek to once again claim the prize of the Devil's Run.If you're a fan of George Miller movies and shows such as the Walking Dead, then you're sure to love everything the Devil's Run RPG has to offer! Although the Revenants from those first days following the Day of the Apocalypse have long since turned to dust, the virus itself still poses a deadly risk, and that is something that we very much intend to explore with the introduction of factions such as the Los Nigromantes, amongst others.
