Walk softly. It is listening.
The city is drowned in alien growth, the electricity is dead, and your Refuge is down to its last few Reloads. Somewhere in the Thicket there's a cache, and the people across the ring road want it too.
The Refuge
Choose a Home, from a campsite to a shopping mall. Recruit survivors from who they were before: a paramedic, a waitress, a soldier, an office worker. Arm them with what still works.
The Raid
Alternating activations in initiative order, creatures included. Every shot makes Noise; Noise brings the Din; the Din brings things out of the growth. Every magazine comes out of your stores.
The Blight
It roots in your survivors and gives them Gifts, and Marks. At twelve, they Turn. The Seasons turn too, and each one asks something new of the Refuge.
