     A.C.: AFTER COLLAPSE (sometimes referred to as A.C.) is a post-apocalyptic role-playing game set at least 50 years after worldwide civilization has come to a slow, bitter end.

    A.C. presents a detailed post-Collapse environment filled with opportunities  for adventure and discovery. Characters, known as "Survivors,"  cautiously comb through the dangerous ruins of once-great metropolises

    Whether  Survivors want to defend themselves from others or take what someone  else has, weapons are useful tools to have. Not everyone has access to  firearms or explosives, so they use what's available.

    Low-tech  weapons have their place. They can be used to inflict smaller amounts  of damage to opponents, allowing them to be disabled or driven away  instead of killed. Additionally, many types of low-tech weapons don't  need to be reloaded. The materials for those that do can often just be  picked up off the ground.

    A.C.: AFTER COLLAPSE uses a d20-based architecture. Features include: 

    • a craft-oriented Basic Skill system that allows Survivors and NPCs to make weapons and accessories to their own specifications;
    • a system of modifiers that adjust Accuracy, Damage, and Penetration to increase the lethality of well-made implements;
    • differentiation  between High Velocity (HV) Low Velocity (LV), and Energy (EN) attacks  to simulate the potential effectiveness of weapons and armor;
    • allocation of lethal and/or nonlethal damage based on skill level; and
    • the  use of Hard Points (HDPs) and Vigor Points (VGPs) to simulate the  toughness of Survivors and NPCs and their ability to resist lethal and  nonlethal damage.


    Recommended for ages 14+.
