What's that? Secretly breaking out Embers of Humanity at #ChaosiumCon? Us? Never. We promise there's no way you'd catch us playing and advertising non-sanctioned games guv.

We are preparing Embers of Humanity for Print on Demand!

This entails a touch up of some of the rules, an overhaul of the layout as well as the bulking out of the Settlement section to contain the full rules.

We can't wait to see how Embers grows.

Cover reveal!

The talented @colinrichardsart.bsky.social put together the art for our manual, and it's turned out wonderfully.

Stay tuned, Embers of Humanity's manual drops on @drivethrurpg.com this week!

The Weird: Electronics no longer work, time is relative, and bubbles of Weird cover the world, containing inexplicable phenomenons and dangerous creatures.

The Settlement: Build out a new home. Starting from nothing, build a house, a village, and maybe even a thriving town.
January 30, 2025 at 11:44 AM
The System: powered by BRP, Embers is a d100 roll under system, with a classic GM role and is best for 2-6 players.

The Setting: One day, the world just ended. Civilisation is gone and humanity has nearly vanished. Play as a Survivor, rebuilding from the embers.
January 30, 2025 at 11:44 AM
We're gearing up for the launch of the 1.0 on Drivethru at the start of February!

Designed to provides players and GM's with a clear and easy to use rules system, Embers should feel familiar to experienced tables, while accessible to new players.

Embers of Humanity is a hope-punk post-apocalyptic #ttrpg about regular people surviving the end of the world.

The apocalypse is never fully explained. One day the world just sort of ended. Communities were abandoned by the institutions that were meant to protect them.

Would you survive the end?
