Dead Horizon. A Homebrew Sandbox Post Apocalyptic One Shot. ======================================================================================= POST-APOCALYPTIC D&D COMPLETE CUSTOM HOMEBREW ONE-SHOT ======================================================================================= Greetings! My name is Charlie! I have been a player and D M of tabletop games now for about with 10 years now. I am a lover of the D&D experience. I’ve hosted a few campaigns and multiple one shots. My latest development is a completely custom game in a world i have been building over the past few months. It is now in a playable state! It takes place in a post-apocalyptic world, which I’m finally ready to bring to the table. I’m looking for players to join a homebrew one-shot set in a harsh, survival-focused wasteland. This is designed as a single session one shot, however, if the group enjoys it, I’m open to turning it into a weekly or bi-weekly campaign. This setting is mostly homebrew, with some core mechanics loosely based on 5e 2014, that I have reskinned and modified. The session will be focused survival, combat, and resource mechanics. Characters will have to worry with hunger and thirst as well as the infection. The wasteland is unforgiving and filled with infected creatures, other survivors, mutated wildlife, and deadly environmental hazards. The biggest threat are hordes of the undead known as Greyskins along with he more terrifying undead creatures that are known as Eclipses. This is a total fight for survival. The world is a sandbox with an overarching storyline, however, the possibilities are in fact endless and will be based on player actions completely. ======================================================================================= 🌍 STORYLINE 🌍 ======================================================================================= The year is 2049. The world has fallen after a catastrophic viral outbreak known as the great collapse. Cities lie in ruins, the environment has turned to nothing more than a wasteland. Survivors are few and scattered and can never be trusted. Survival is constant, resources are scarce, and every decision will create an impact. The story shapes on how the party plays and the possibilities are endless. Expect tactical combat, moral dilemmas, and resource management all in a complete sandbox. ======================================================================================= ⚔️ CLASSES ⚔️ ======================================================================================= Survivor: Adaptable all-rounder; balanced in combat, exploration, and scavenging.
