The cold is unrelenting. It’s been ten years since the end of the world. Cities depend on massive generators that provide heat, and machinery that excavates resources and grows food. Humans scramble to survive, relying on the pillars of Faith and Order to build societies that can keep residents alive despite the odds. You have skills to contribute to the city—but can you make the difficult choices needed for survival?
Frostpunk, the Tabletop Roleplaying Game, based on the award-winning Frostpunk video games, uses Catalyst’s new medium-weight roleplaying Dice Core system. Tests in the Dice Core system are rolled with three dice: one connected to the complexity of the action being attempted, one connected to the Skill being used, and a third from a linked Attribute. Players may gain Upgrades or Downgrades based on the situation, their gear, their tactics, or other elements. An Upgrade means moving a die one step higher—for example, exchanging a d6 for a d8. A Downgrade is the opposite, taking a die a step lower.
