Get Ready for We're in Danger

We're in Danger is a tabletop roleplaying game that pits would-be survivors against life-threatening Dangers. The game takes inspiration from an array of sources, and aims to create the tense and immediate experiences of horror and disaster stories. The term Danger describes the deadly villains, hazards, and situations players must overcome. 

We’re In Danger is scenario-based and focuses on high intensity one-shots using a unique d6 dice pool system. Think of a scenario as a movie, a short story, an arc of your favorite comic, or a video game. A scenario is self-contained and centers on the plight of characters whose odds of survival are bleak.

However, like any successful movie or video game, sequels are always an option. If you want a longer campaign, you might play a franchise. In a franchise, you run multiple, linked scenarios that include surviving characters and deadlier variations of similar Dangers.

We’re in Danger casts you in the role of an average person, but someone capable of using their ingenuity and skill to rise to the occasion. You excel in some areas, falter in others, and possess a natural instinct to survive even the most horrific situations.

Character creation takes only a minute or two, and allows for all sorts of concepts. No bloated skill lists and no tome of overly situational talents and spells. The game distills your character to a handful of features that will all come into play, and could be the different between a glorious death and well-earned survival.

We're in Danger has been in active development for years, and an early access version of the game is available on itch.io. This BackerKit campaign is to fund a print-run of the game, custom art, and improved graphic design and layout. With your help, we'll also look to add more premade scenarios and extra tools to support GMs.
