Cepheus Atom

The bombs fell. Nations wielded varied and monstrous weapons against one another. Fires clouds of poison and worse have swept the world. Now only the savage Wastes remain: haunted by mutants deranged robots and genegineered monstrosities. But from the fire heroes and villains rise: tribals survivors mutants all the warped remnants of Humanity. Armed with primitive weapons pre-Collapse artifacts and afflicted by strange mutations they set forth to conquer the wastes or at least to survive them. By spear and laser they shall prevail - or die a horrible death.Cepheus Atom is a lightweight role-playing game where players assume the roles of survivors exploring a sci-fantasy post-apocalyptic world. This is as some people call it a gonzo apocalypse - expect sentient mutant animals and plants! death-ray guns and wild mutations rather than the grimmer darkness of a more realistic apocalypse. The rules are designed for fast beer and pretzels play where players roll dice and blow up stuff between bites of pizza and sips of soft drink all while enjoying an evening with friends.All you need to play are this booklet a few six-sided dice writing supplies and your wild imagination.
