AnarchyA Hardcore Post-Apoc Shooting and Killing RPG Based on Feudal Anarchy

In the distant future of 2004 the administration of the court-appointed and deeply unpopular President Shrub found itself in dire political straits (collapse of the financial sector, three quagmired wars in the Middle East, the infamous Peckerwood scandal). Wingnuts funded by the billionaire Cocke brothers make good on Operation Patriot, a series of organized destabilizations made to scare the country 'straight.' In the resulting chaos, most major cities and strategic sites are destroyed by dirty bombs, suitcase nukes, biochemical/mutagen agents, bank over-draft surcharges and suburban rioters demanding a return to convenience.

Then some even crazier shit happened for decades. And now Road Warrior.

Attributes and Characteristics AttributesPlayers roll 3d6 in order to determine their seven starting characteristics. Characters are limited to a maximum

of 18 in any given characteristic.

Strength (STR)STR is the character's physical strength: the ability to lift; put damage behind a blow; carry weight etc.

Intelligence (INT)A characters ability to analyze information and memorize instructions. It is a useful Characteristic for characters interested in becoming accomplished sorcerers and masters of lore.

Will (WIL)The ability to mentally endure hardship. Also works as a folk wisdom and a measure of the powers of perception.

Dexterity (DEX)A characters agility, coordination and speed of reaction, Dexterity aids him in many physical actions, including combat.

Size (SIZ)How tall and/or bulky your character is.

Constitution (CON)This characteristic measures a character's physical hardiness, health and endurance.

Charisma (CHA)Charisma is a combination of status and reputation--and the confidence and skill-set of leading that flows from this.

Hit PointsThese determine how much damage the character can sustain before reaching unconsciousness or death. A character's starting hit points is determined by adding SIZ and CON together and dividing by two (round up).

Damage BonusWhen calculating damage in melee combat, the attacker adds their damage bonus to their damage die. The table below displays the damage bonuses for the average of STR+SIZ score. Do not add this bonus to ranged damage.Damage Bonus

No starting skill can be beyond 75 percent.4. Make a Hand of Fate roll. All rolls on 1d100.5.

EntryThis represents the conditions necessary to enter the vocation and will have varying conditions. Entry may be automatic, for instance if conditions for a specific class background, attribute minimum or a previous Vocation that points to as an exit. In other cases a percentage roll will be required to start a vocation.

Failing an entry roll means that a character can try another eligible vocation or stay in their current vocation.

SkillsThese represent the skills learned during the four years. Some listings will give you a choice between certain skills. Roll dice to determine how much to add to the base amount on the skill list. All skills are cumulative over the course of a characters travel down the vocation path.

If you a skill roll gives you a chance to roll for an Advanced Skill, congratulations you have gained access to that skill and can now add your bonus to the base.

Exit Roll and VocationAfter finishing up the previous rolls and choices representing how your character lived through the last three years, now you have to see if he/she can continue in the character generation process. Roll percentile dice to avoid being forced to leave.

If successful choose your next Vocation based on the following listing. Reroll on the same Vocation listings if you stay in the same Vocation for the three-year period. If unsuccessful, the generation process is complete, and your character is finished.

Bonus Skills and In-Game AdvancementNote that after character generation the scripted vocations stop and advancement follows the in-game Skill and

Social Advancement rules (see Section XXX). The character is now allowed to roll a d10 four times to add percentage points to any basic skill they like or any advanced skill they learned during character generation.

Food and DrinkGrade D Food, $.10/day. Edible but 10% chance of illness per day. Preserved Rations, $.50/dayClean Plant Foods, $2/day. Difficult to find and expensive are vegetables, grains, fruits and tubers relatively free of radiation and mutagens (meat typically being too high on the food chain). Three days of straight eating add 1 to CON as long as diet is kept up. A solid week of eating such a diet adds an additional point to CON (and thus one Hit Point).MRE, $5. A century old but still edible. Eating one per day will produce the same effect as Clean Plants but they are portable and preserved. Corn Liquor, jug $.50
