[Dark One]

What's this?
This is my very first RTD game, based on "Roadside Picnic" of Strugacki brothers and S.T.A.L.K.E.R game series. A post apocalyptic, sandbox RTD where players assume roles of stalkers. Take all neccessary equipment and try to survive in Chernobyl Exclusion Zone. Discover strange phenomena, artifacts - objects of unknown properties or hunt for mutants.

You are the first few stalkers in the zone. You can be a criminal hiding in a place where law won't reach you, a lone wanderer exploring the Zone, scientist discovering Zone's misteries, a mercenary for hire, a military stalker or a person just trying to make good money - but no matter who you are, the Zone is unforgiving and deadly.

After each day (12 turns or so), your character would become hungry, thirsty and drowsy. These still apply to some mutants. Colours are indicating the need for each of them.

Green - slight need.
Yellow - medium need.
Red - instense need.

Getting them to stage of intensive need is a good step for roll penalties or reducing your stats, starting from -1 roll at medium and ending with -2 at intense. Stats would drop depending on roll outcomes for certain actions Recovering needs food and water, and resets hunger and thirst counter.

At each stage, stats are giving additional bonuses to outcomes of base rolls.

1-2 - Life saving, additional roll.
3-4 - Slightly improves outcome.
5-6 - Improves outcome.
7-8 - Adds a special ability that overcomes rolls, always giving a 5. Can be used once in a few rolls.

To raise a stat or skill you must roll a 3 consecutive base rolls, with outcome of 3 or higher. Then you must recover, rest or generally have a time to think about your progress. Sometimes random stat is raised during recovery.

Spoiler: Timeskip bonuses/penalties (click to show/hide)

Bonuses or penalties are given when player misses his turn or GM don't update for some time. This also prevents GM from being a lazy bastard from time to time.

Players for skipping turns receive:

2 turns = -1 to all rolls.
4 turns = -2 to all rolls.
6 turns = -3 to all rolls.
8 turns = -3 to all rolls and -1 to random stat (getting lower in two next turns before cold storage).
Above 10 turns = player is moved to cold storage.

GM for skipping turns give:

1 turn = +1 to all rolls
3 turns = +2 to all rolls
6 turns = +3 to all rolls
9 turns = +3 to all rolls and +1 to chosen stat (getting higher in next turns).

Stalker:

You are the first few stalkers in the zone. You can be a criminal hiding in a place where law won't reach you, a lone wanderer exploring the Zone, scientist discovering Zone's misteries, a mercenary for hire, a military stalker or a person just trying to make good money - but no matter who you are, the Zone is unforgiving and deadly.

Above answers should give enough information about general setting, though it would differ from game series in some places. Proper plot would be posted at the beginning of first turn. RTD would start when two more players join or after a few days since this post.

Welcome in The Zone

The Chernobyl Exclusion Zone - an exclusion zone taking area of 30 kilometres. Abandoned since the disaster, the power plant and nearby cities - Chernobyl and Prypiat - as well as many smaller villages were left to decay in radioactive waste. Many years after the disaster some of these places are still highly radiated, while in places where the radiation have ceased - nature came back to claim what humanity took from her.

Tranquility of this place was disturbed only by a guided tour from time to time, or by scientists and their research, but for most people it was a place that should remain untouched after 1986. Until now. A cyber attack aimed at State Agency of Ukraine on Exclusion Zone ended with leak of footage material and scientific research. Experiments on human, animals and plants, strange phenomena and objects of unusual properties - secrets of The Zone were published. Media all over the world were boiling up with leaked material. The Agency did it's best to remove all the information, but it was too late. People, called later stalkers entered The Zone to face the unknown. Last effort of the Agency was to increase military protection over the zone and eliminate everyone trying to enter it.

They couldn't stop all the stalkers. This is where your story begins...

Turn 1
Late Spring

It's dusk time. The Sun slowly rises upon the horizon.

Ronald Roman

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

You lived a boring, though quite successful life. Somehow you couldn't stand other people, always trying to find a place where you could be alone. When you've heard about The Zone, you decided to start a life of a stalker immediately.

[3] You haven't checked all the information about possible dangers in zone, so you've taken only your basic survival kit - some warm clothes, a tent, 2 days food rations and a knife. You forgot to buy a geiger counter though.

[4] After a really long travel to Belarus, you've finally reached the borders of exclusion zone. You heard rumors about soldiers guarding posts all around the border of zone, but cautiously trudging through forest you couldn't see anyone. Even animals avoided this place. Silence was broken only by wind and ruslte of tree leaves. You managed to find a hole in a fence going around the border and easily go through. You have entered the Zone.

Lorence "Lucky" Jackson

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

You always won in every gambling games that you've played. Poker, roulette, blackjack - all of them were easy as pie with your extreme luck. Gambling for 6 years, your fortune was growing bigger and bigger. Everybody knew that when "Lucky" joined the table, the game was over. During one of your trips around the world, you've stopped in Ukraine. Looking for some place to gamble, you've found some shady types - Ukrainian mafia. Winning with them was easy - getting rid of them not so. They've broken into a house that you just bought and kidnapped you.

[5] Darkness, you have something on your head, tied around your neck. You feel that you have your hands and legs tied. You have troubles breathing. Desperately trying to free yourself brings nothing. Suddenly a flash - you see two mobsters, one holds a cloth sack that was removed from your head. In relief you take a deep breath and hear:

- Consider yourself lucky that boss decided to let you go, instead of throwing you into a barrel filled with acid. - says one of the mobsters.
- Well, not so lucky, as you are in The Zone!

They untie your limbs and walk away laughing, leaving you alone.

[4] Mobsters really meant that you're free now. They even left you some food, first aid kit, a hunting knife and, surprisingly, a geiger counter!

Anna Iveson

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

You were living in a happy family with your parents and beloved sister Miriel. At least before the leak from Agency, when she became a stalker. Day after day, you were waiting impatiently until she came back home. Once she hasn't returned, and then - disappeared for weeks. You decided to take money parents stored for your future college and take a trip to the exclusion zone.

[5] You took everything that you needed: casual and camouflage clothes, radioactive protection suit, survival and first aid kits, a hunting knife and 10 days food reserves. Additionally, you've managed to find a map of exclusion zone!

[1] You were merrily wandering a forest and easily sneaked past a military post. You wandered a meadow closed to a river. You've noticed a beautiful bird flying nearby. It had a reddish belly, black head and gray-black back. Haplessly you followed it... and then a sudden flash. The light was almost blinding, you heard something land on the ground. When you open your eyes, you see a charred bird corpse. An anomaly, and it's invisible!

New anomaly type have been discovered!

Nardo Polo

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Addicted to drugs and homeless you were wandering a really long time, picking up any available job. You've wandered far away to the Ukraine, where a strange man hired you to get something from other side of a tall fence. You don't exactly remember what was it that he wanted, but it seemed a good offer.

[1] In a rush you leave all your short sword sheathes and survival gear in a safe spot, taking only the rags you have on, some drugs, and a first prize marble tournament badge.

[6] You quickly climb up the fence and easily get to the other side. Wandering a forest and running up a grassy hill you stumble upon an irregurarly shaped, strange glowing object of crystaline structure. You take it and decide to go back to the man that hired you. But which way? You've already forgotten how to get back!

New artifact type was discovered!

Nix

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

You were a famous hunter in a mountain village you lived in, but with animals getting scarce and nearby forests cut down, you were left with nothing. No game to hunt - no money. The forest was cut down to make place for a new industrial city. Even thinking about living near such place made you mad. When the Agency leak appeared in media, you decided to go into a place where you could truly live a life of huntsman - no rules and restictions, and harsh conditions made it a challenge that you were looking for!

[2] You take your leather and fur suit with you, but looking anywhere, you can't find your trusty hunting knife. You decided to go without it.

[1] You got to exclusion zone in a few days. Following a road, a sudden military transport passes by and stops close to a strange building. Soldiers unload a truck with prisoners and lead them inside the building. Luckily they haven't spotted you yet.

Dustan Hache

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

You have worked for a big corporation until a crisis came. You have lost your job, family have turned back from you and your debt started to grow really quick. Now your debitors want their money back. Agency leak showed in media gave them an idea - send him into the Zone and wait until he gets back rich. If he brings nothing - eliminate him.

[6] You take your clothes, Geiger counter, Swiss army knife, two day's rations and a M1911 with two clips of ammo. Debitors provided you with an additional first aid kit. The M1911 seems to be a bit damaged, but still working.

[2] Wandering a Belarussian forest you try to get past a military outpost, but suddenly one of the soldiers spots you and raises alarm. You rush inside The Zone trying to find a hideout.

((GM note: Forgot to mention HP and Fatigue points in sheets. Adding them now.))

[Dustan Hache]

Keep moving, and keep to cover. The military types don't want anybody coming in for more reasons than one, and being forced to smuggle stuff out of the zone is going to be hellish unless I find a safe extraction point, and a way of contacting my "Employers".
