In 2025, the TTRPG Embers of Humanity launched into the world making the kind of splash that many TTRPGS do. That is, not a lot. The thing is though, it's quite fun. And there's enough of us that really enjoy playing. So despite it never reaching the dizzying heights of success that some games do, a vast swathe of authors have continued tweaking and testing and playing and designing. We love this Weird take on the apocalypse and what comes next.

What is Embers of Humanity

Embers of Humanity is a community-focused hope-filled TTRPG about the end of the world. Play revolves around a small group of survivors who take charge of a settlement. These survivors head out into what’s left of the world in order to keep their community afloat. They may be gathering supplies, negotiating with others, battling against raiders or desperately trying to survive the deadly forces of nature. 

At the end of each session, the survivors return to their settlement. The choices they made influence the settlement’s growth. Will they build a thriving town or become just one more group of raiders, scavenging amongst the ruins of civilisation?

Who is this game for?

• Those already familiar with BRP & d100 systems will love how intuitive this system is.
• Players looking for a generic post-apocalyptic system that they can mould to their own setting.
• GM's that want to build a setting alongside the players as they play the game.
• OSR/NSR lovers looking for a new setting might just find that Embers scratches that itch.
