Wastewalkers
A downloadable game
Step into the irradiated shoes of the last survivors in a world gone mad!
Inspired by Borderlands, Fallout, and Mad Max, Wastewalkers is a rules-bright, solo-friendly and OSR-inspired post-apocalyptic TTRPG where you and your fellow scavengers carve out a living in the ruins of civilization. Will you become a legend of the wastes, or just another sun-bleached skeleton? We play to find out.

↳ Do you know about TTRPGs ?! Great! Here’s the nifty core mechanic that’ll reel you right in:
You roll that trusty d20 and add little modifier and try to beat a target set by the GM—easy peasy lemon squeezy!
But wait, here's the twist! The GM reveals a handful of cards from the deck, and every time a black card pops up, the target score takes a little bump of +2!
If you roll like a champ and succeed, you can pocket a card for later—giving exciting bonuses down the line! But you must always favor picking a red card over a black one!
So, if you start stashing those cards away, watch out—the deck fills up with even more black cards, making your life tougher with each roll!
- Easy as pie rules! Our TOUGH, FAST, SMART, and HUMAN attributes are simpler to grasp than hot-wiring a Chaser!
- Print-and-play pamphlet! Just run off a copy for each survivor, and you're ready to explore the Wasteland faster than you can say "nuclear winter"!
- Solo play options! When your fellow wanderers are busy fighting off Blighted, our handy-dandy Solo Oracle keeps the adventure rolling!
- Mix-and-match with your favorite OSR beasties! Slap some radioactive paint on 'em, and they're ready for the Wasteland
So grab your shabby weapons, power up your engines, and get ready to ride into a world of danger and opportunity!
Making cool stuff like this is hard and honest work! So, we're making a low-key crowdfunding to help finance the future or Wastewalkers.
At 400 scraps, we can pay for our editor and the art we bought. At 700 scraps, we'll design a little adventure supplement for it! After that, we'll see!
Wastewalkers is hotter than a radioactive burgers! I haven't had this much fun since I found that two-headed goat in my backyard!
— Some rando
Finally, a game that lets me use my scraps as actual currency! Wastewalkers is the bee's knees... if bees were still a thing.
— Some other weird rando
Who needs pre-war fancies when you've got Wastewalkers? It's more addictive than Blighted blood, and twice as explosive!
— A fun bloke
It's the real atomic deal!

Before it was made free, I was sent a copy. I played it once or twice since and I am so happy this game exists. Rules Bright is an excellent descriptor of a wonderful game of exploration in a post apocalyptic world where your imagination- and the story driven mechanics- are the limit. Easy to set up, easy to play. 100% a good time.
Played this game with my kids and it was a great time! Everyone had a blast and we really enjoyed the system. Full experience and short review here:
