Please, I’m just a silly autistic little beast. Do you have games abt nuclear radiation or reactors? While I do prefer things like walking sims, exploration games and horror, I am curious what you could recommend! Just not anything with radioactive zombies or ghouls pls <3 I like more realistic approaches if that’s alright! Or something on the silly end like Turnip Boy Commits Tax Fraud

THEME: Nuclear Radiation

Hello friend! This is more about apocalyptic games than Nuclear games, probably because the first thing people think of when they hear of radiation is the apocalypse. But there's some fun concepts being explored here nevertheless!

Nuclear Knights, by Gormengeist.

Nuclear Knights is a narrative-heavy action TTRPG about adventurers in a world thousands of years after a catastrophic magical nuclear war, where things have wrapped back around to high-magic pulp fantasy. Fight monsters, lead settlements, win battles of wit and worthiness, command the forgotten powers and mysterious ways- uncover what was lost, become something new.

Designed from the ground up to be as evocative of epic pulp fantasy during play as possible, the mechanics are easy to learn without sacrificing depth. Nuclear Knights attempts to be a marriage of classical dungeoneering and bold, modern collaborative storytelling.

This is a game where the radiation is more magical in nature, causing interesting, strange and esoteric mutations that you can contribute to as you play. As a dungeoneering game, there’s a lot of different pieces to help put your character together: classes, disciplines, homelands, titles and gods! Expect a lot of fun enemies and weird cursed loot.

Extinction Punk, by Extinction Punk.

Extinction Punk is a table-top role-playing game (TTRPG) that blends elements of science fiction and science fantasy to envision a future where humanity fails to stop a man-made extinction event such as a climate cataclysm, a nuclear holocaust, or a biological war.

Players of Extinction Punk get to explore the ruins of an Earth that is no longer under humanity’s control and encounter the (not necessarily) human civilizations that rise from the ashes. Together with the person organizing the game (the Game Master, or GM for short), the players create characters that will fight for survival while searching for powerful artefacts or useful mutations.

This is a Powered by the Apocalypse game, which means it’s going to favour story over mechanics. This means that players have quite a bit more control over world creation, so if you don’t want zombies, you don’t have to have them! This game has more mutation themes and options than basic Apocalypse World, and character playbook themes include Ancient Archivist, Bunker Baby, Hardly Human, and more!

Wastoid, by Jason Tocci.

Wastoid is a gonzo, post-apocalyptic, sci-fi RPG, inspired by games like Fallout, Mutant Crawl Classics, and Gamma World. (Especially Fallout! But not so much that Microsoft should sue.)

This game is still in the early development stage: the rules and character creation are bare-bones. However, Jason Tocci has created some insanely popular games and game systems in the past, so this game is probably going to be a huge hit once it’s fully released.

Wastoid uses the Knave rules as designed by Ben Milton, with various inspirations from Mausritter, The Black Hack, and other games. The preview is still a pretty heavy document, with 42 pages of character options, game rules, faction management and advice on running a game that’s fun for everyone. If you like a retro, pulp-action take on nuclear fallout, this might be the game for you.

However, if you want a gonzo-apocalyptic rpg that’s a bit more fully released, I’d recommend checking out Omega Soup, by Dice Doctor Games.

Games I’ve recommended in the past

Furry space adventure game in the style of Star Fox or Albedo Anthropomorphics

A far future weird scifi survival action game in a universe of dead gos and dying suns, where you play as a post human on a desert moon of saturn. Thinking about hacking Backpack and Dream for this one.

Block 82 – A Mausritter Adventure Setting

Garm's new adventure setting is one for Mausritter! It revolves around a theater, where cultured mice scrabble and scavenge just out of sight of human society. Read it here:

→ Read it on 2-Minute Tabletop

Mausritter is a “sword-and-whiskers” roleplaying game. You play mice in a huge, dangerous world. It’s got a lovely card-based inventory system, quick character creation, and interesting magic. And best of all, the digital version is pay-what-you-want! You can pick it up for yourself here: https://losing-games.itch.io/mausritter In the middle of a human city, there sits a century-old theater. Years of renovations have left holes and hidden places, and these are the places that a group called the Theater Mice call home. From their secret perches in the rafters they watch the human’s films, learning about the wider world from them... Read more: https://2minutetabletop.com/block-82-mausritter-adventure/

We'd love to branch out to other settings and rule sets every now and then, especially these "sword and whiskers" sorts. What do you think, and are there any in particular that we should check out? Please let us know!
