Degenesis is an end time - pen - & - paper role-playing game by Christian Gunther and Marko Djurdjevic, that (the new edition since its October 2014 Rebirth Edition is installed) of Sixmorevodka. Originally, Degenesis (supported by the Odyssey project ) was developed as a fan project and free role-playing game under the name Endzeit and later published by Sighpress-Verlag.
background
The designers refer to the Degenesis genre as "Primal Punk". Primal Punk is intended to describe a background world in which humanity is at its end and fighting an eschatological struggle for survival. The world was nearly destroyed by the impact of asteroids and a multitude of armed conflicts. With the asteroids, an extraterrestrial material called primer came to earth, which causes various mutations, for example from humans to the new species Homo Degenesis . There are 13 different cults that war, work together, or are neutral to each other. The player characters are essentially shaped by the choice of a cult.
regulate
In terms of rules, the system is based on several attributes (mind, flexibility, body, charisma, psyche). There are also skills, these have at least the value of the associated attribute, and the level of the skill is added. With two 10-sided dice , the value must be thrown under a test. It is worth mentioning that the game master does not determine difficulties by deducting the total value, but specifies a level of difficulty which must be rolled over at the same time. This makes the samples more intuitive and faster. It is important that players specialize in a few skills, otherwise the tests rarely succeed. In general, as little as possible should be rolled. Experience points are collected separately in all attributes. There are also free experience points that can be freely distributed. Character creation runs more freely than in other systems, a character is defined by culture, concept and cult, which enables many possible combinations.
