Earth Has Fallen:
On the morning of June 14, 1968, a group of hippies fled to the mountains of Colorado to wait for doomsday, as the meteor, Icarus, neared Earth. Prophet Don, the leader of the doomsday cult, reported that after the meteor stuck the planet, California would slide into the ocean, the land would be plagued with horrible earthquakes, and society as we knew it would collapse. Don was correct.
You are a Survivor, one of a handful of children born from The Children of the Flowers, living in the mountainside town of Eldorado Springs, Colorado. Since Icarus's landing, the planet has seen wars, massive earthquakes, and the atmosphere poison itself. Not in Eldorado Springs though, it's safe here, it's always been safe here. Things are said to live out in The Periphery, the space around the town that none of these problems seem to cross over into, but it's fine here. It's always fine here. Rumor is the atmosphere is starting to clear up, but the people who leave into The Periphery don't always come back. What are you going to do about it?
Phanta is a rules-lite and easy to work with RPG system, designed for fast decisive actions, and lasting relationships, both with the other Survivors you find yourself with, and the other folks in Eldorado Springs. All you need to play is 2-6 players, a copy of the rules, your Survivor's playbook, and a handful of d6s.
The Playbooks and Pop Culture Quick Reference guide are both marked as Demos just so players can more easily download them without needing to purchase the full game, but don't contain significant game text within them.
Phanta now officially supports Role, and I have a basic character sheet up there if you'd like to use it.
Phanta was made as part of the Record Collection 2k21 Jam and is based on the song Phanta by Le Tigre (off their incredible 1999 debut self titled album).
If you'd like a review copy of this game, shoot me a message on twitter (@Keganexe) or email me at Phanta@keganexe.com.
Print copies are here! You can reach me either of the above ways to get one, or purchase through itch (which is a little clunky but we will make it work!)
I made a new game, Star Heist, that uses a heavily modded version of the Phanta rulest to run! If you're interested you can get it here, you can play Phanta inside of an Adam Bell game, Stat Heist here.
