I started the draft, drew the cover art, and have a vision to combine my favorite bits of these two awesome games into a standalone project.

Some of you may remember a few months back that'd I'd been approached by a local charity to run a TTRPG design workshop with kids with mental health issues. Over 9 sessions, we put together a survival horror game. They printed it so people in the community could access it for free!

In Black Rock Mesa PCs, and solo characters, will make rolls when they act. GMs will draw cards to reveal the risk. More actions, more cards are drawn, more risk until it becomes perilous. Final rolls are made to resolve the scene. Shuffle, and begin again.
