Description

Cast Away is the definitive tabletop survival RPG. Its Diminishing Dice mechanics reflect the ever-worsening condition of survivors in the aftermath of a disaster—without tracking Hit Points or burdensome injury tables. Death is permanent, therefore, we've created a Haunting system that keeps players engaged long after their characters pass away. Cast Away contains a modular set of guidelines and is easily adapted to any setting, environment, or circumstance. 

Your purchase includes:

- Survivor's & Navigator's Guide
- Drop-in Survival Scenario
- Printer Friendly Character Sheets
- 3 BONUS Adventures

Bonus Adventures:

Brain Food - A zombie apocalypse

Ground Control - A space odyssey

Cursed Crystal - A fantasy escape

Third Party Expansion:

Death City - Advanced rules + zombie campaign

What do you need to play?

Cast Away is a tabletop RPG. You'll need:
2+ Players & at least one set of Polyhedral Dice (minus the d20)
