STALKER: The Zone RPG
Not to be confused with STALKER: The RPG or STALKER: The Other RPG.
Start[edit | edit source]
STALKER: The Zone RPG is a PNP Roleplaying game based on the Dark Heresy and Black Crusade systems currently being developed by an assortment of Neckbeards from /tg/.
This game will include such features such as:
- Career-less system unlike Dark Heresy but with relatively free advancements mimicing Black Crusade
- Starting kits to "specialize" your character, ranging from a regular soldier, medic, mechanic, etc.
- A "Quick Inventory" system integrated into protective vests, where you can only use the inventory you have equipped on your vest, like a Molle system
- A system for working out radioactive areas, a modified version of Corruption Points
- Bleeding, which unlike earlier discussions and ideas will not be about "losing X amount of Wounds every Y turns", but will be a status effect with inherent modifiers, including narrative ones (predators smelling blood, etc.)
- Empty/full magazines, as you may have 150 bullets, but only 2 magazines to fill them up with. Keep those empty magazines!
- Weapon degradation that isn't a giant pain in the butt to keep track of.

Survival: Ailments and Needs[edit | edit source]
All ailment effects rely on what's been coined the Expanded Exhaustion system. Things like Hunger, Sleep, etc all take a toll on your body when not dealt with. Normally, you would have Fatigue points equal to your Toughness bonus. But since that is too limiting for all the varying effects, it has been expanded to (pending) your Strength + Willpower + Toughness scores combined. (Ex. 30 STR + 26 WIL + 38 TOU = 94 Stamina)Each ailment has 5 tiers, each increasing the penalty to all your rolls as well as giving you exhaustion. You can take up to as much exhaustion as your Stamina score- when maxed, your character dies.(Ex. A Player is inflicted with Bleeding Tier 1, which gives 3 Exhaustion- which is therefore also -3 to all rolls.)
- Bleeding When an attacker rolls damage, on a 9 or a 10- the victim in inflicted with a tier of bleeding. This ailments stacks and will not recover until dealt with (bandaged, etc).
- Cut, 3 Exhaustion
- Light Bleeding, 6 Exhaustion
- Mild Bleeding, 9 Exhaustion
- Severe Bleeding, 12 Exhaustion
- Dying, 15 Exhaustion, Blood Loss
Anomalies[edit | edit source]
(Possible mechanics of Anomalies) When a player enters an area with an anomaly nearby, there are essentially 3 steps to resolving what happens. There is Detection, Escape and Effect. Player A walks down a hallway, GM first calls for a Detection check. Depending on the anomaly, the stat used to detecting one will change- but most will use Perception as the majority are visible. Having a Sensor or a bolt or any type of tool used to aid in detection will have a bonus listed with it. That bonus is added to the respective stat, and combined- must succeed the detection roll. If passed, the anomaly is spotted and can be avoided. If failed, there may be (depending on anomaly) one last ditch to get out of the way/dodge/hang on for dear life before the annoying or deadly results come into play. This usually depends on a Dodge or Agility test to escape getting hurt. If the player succeeds that save, then they escape unharmed. And finally, if the player fails both the Detection and Escape rolls- they are subject to the anomaly's effects. Most likely damage or instant death.
- Burner Burner anomalies can be hard to spot in their dormant state as the only visible clue is a mirage blurring the surrounding area. When triggered the anomaly will shoot out a large column of flame, burning brightly for a few seconds, after which it becomes dormant until provoked again.
Detection: -20 to detect while dormant. If successfully detected with a thrown object, will turn active and grant a +60 to detection rolls for the next few seconds.
Escape: Can only effect what is within it's 1 meter area, becomes active when person enters it's range. Grants no escape rolls.
Effect: Inflicts 1d10 damage, roll location. This damage can only be reduced by CBRN and Toughness bonus. Must immediately make 2 durability rolls for armor.
