In Force of Extinction, you and your friends play a desperate group of survivors, scavenging what remains as the world itself evolves around you, in this new TTRPG that can make you feel like THE HERO or just a smudge on the bottom of a MONSTER'S CLAW.
The world, as you know it, has ended. Welcome to the Evopocalypse.
No one knows what caused this catastrophic ecological disaster. But in its wake, humanity is on the brink of extinction. And planet Earth has never been more alive. Nature has claimed the globe, as cities overgrown with vicious plantlife now play hunting grounds to highly evolved predators and warped, colossal creatures with no memory of the animals they once were.
You and your fellow players are Survivors. Venturing out from desperate Settlements with limited tools and dwindling resources, you must navigate ruined cities and vastly changed landscapes, scavenging what remains of civilization as the world evolves about you. Plantlife will subsume you. The climate will destroy you. Predators will kill you.
But there is still hope. Together, you’ll explore the world you once knew, using your finely-honed survival skills and repurposed weapons (not to mention mysterious and unpredictable “resurrection” technology…) to hunt for the source of this disaster, even as it hunts you back.
Against the Force of Extinction, you have only one option: SURVIVE.
Force of Extinction is a new roleplaying game that encourages big choices and bigger swings against insurmountable odds. Quick to learn and built for role play and epic moments, this fast-paced action TTRPG features:
A d20 dice pool system with rolling-under mechanics!
8 distinct Survivor Archetypes to choose from!
A Build-a-Beast Workshop, to create your perfect predator!
Unique rules for building your group’s Settlement!
A crap load of roll tables!
And so much more!
Playtested by hundreds of players, and featured on actual play podcasts and a live show at Gen Con, the full print version of Force of Extinction brings this system to life in all its terrifying, explosive glory. By joining the BackerKit, you can get your hands on:
Physical and digital products, including regular and special edition books, dice sets, a GM screen, a Force of Extinction survivor backpack, a deck of unique monster cards, and more!
Stretch goals and achievements to keep the campaign going
Force of Extinction is designed for 2-6 players. One of these players will be the Game Master (GM), while each other player controls a Survivor.
With 8 Archetypes to choose from, each giving ever-increasing outlandish abilities as they rank up–along with templates for creating your own–the possibilities for playing your Survivor are limitless.
In this ruined, inhospitable world, your group of Survivors will need somewhere to hide and stay safe.
This is your Settlement. With a pool of Resources that can be drawn upon to fuel your success, the Settlement takes on a life of its own.
Each Settlement has three Resources. These are:
Provisions. This represents the supplies your settlement needs to survive, including equipment, tools, food and medicine.
Power. This represents the level of electricity or fuel your settlement has. It also represents the quality of the power equipment such as generators, etc.
Protection. This represents the security and defence of the settlement, including weapons, ammunition, and how well protected its population is.
Players can choose to spend the Resources of their Settlement to gain additional dice in their dice pool, or even more Resources to trigger an automatic success.
The dangers in Force of Extinction are many, wild, and varied. From fellow survivors to mutated fauna; from microscopic parasites that worm their way inside you, to behemoths that tower over the very landscape itself. Everything and anything can kill you…
The world is dangerous and the threat of death is real. Every living thing in Force of Extinction, both those controlled by the players and the GM, has just 3 Hit Points.
Our Build-a-Beast Workshop gives you the tools to build, customize, and run awesome adversaries for your Force of Extinction games!
Over the course of playtesting, we have encountered some truly terrifying creatures, and we have cataloged all these Adversaries, capturing their key traits and amazing art, into easy-to-use cards! Fuel random encounters by drawing a card from this Monster Deck, or use them for inspiration as you build your own terrifying creations.
This is a game built by Game Masters for Game Masters.
Regardless of your level of experience, running a tabletop roleplaying game can be a daunting prospect. Trust us, we’ve been there. The pressure to hold rules, characters, story threads, entire worlds, and more in your head can often feel overwhelming. But it doesn’t have to be.
Nor should it be.
We have a full chapter of the book dedicated to providing you the tools and advice that we’ve learned over the course of this game’s development, not simply as its designers, but as Game Masters ourselves.
All Component Images Are Digital Mockups and Subject To Change During and After The Campaign.
Backerkit's Pay Over Time option allows backers pledging $150 or more to split their payment into four monthly installments after our campaign ends.
How it works: When you pledge $150 or more, you'll see the Pay Over Time option at checkout. Once our campaign successfully funds, you'll be charged 25% of your total pledge monthly over four months. Your pledge is confirmed immediately, and you'll receive all rewards alongside other backers once fulfillment begins. This payment option makes it easier to support at higher tiers while managing your budget.
There's no interest or additional fees, just a more accessible way to get the tier you want! Look for the Pay Over Time option during checkout when pledging $150+.
Your card will not be charged until the end of the campaign.
Shipping and all applicable taxes are not included in your pledge, and will be charged after the campaign, closer to when we ship. This saves everyone time and money. Rewards to the EU, USA. Canada, Australia, UK, and China will not receive any customs charges.
A survey will go out after the campaign to set your shipping address, and you'll have time to provide that before it's time to ship.
We estimate that fulfillment will happen in early 2027.
Important: we are unable to ship to Russia, Ukraine, Afghanistan, Belarus, Iran, Iraq, Syria, South and Central America, and Turkey. Due to high rates of packages going missing in some countries, we will not re-send materials if they go missing to the following countries: Pakistan and Nigeria. Israel may have additional fees due to dangerous handling being imposed by couriers to the region.
ADD-ONS
Add-ons will also be available in the pledge manager after the campaign ends. You will have the opportunity to add extra of everything.
