I'll admit I leaned pretty hard on the storytelling ability of the players. I might do a supplement that gives each part of the remnant a different mechanical power, but I was pretty pressed to get under the word count.

Difficulty here is more about how much failure hurts than how likely you are to succeed. I wanted to make something diceless that you could teach quickly and play in the dark, so it's pretty abstract.

You might want to try this variant: 

• Moderator states the difficulty, splits that many stones between their hands.
• Player splits the same number of stones between their hands
• Both moderator and player say which hand the other should reveal. If the player reveals more stones, they succeed. If they reveal less stones, they fail, and lose all stones in their hands.

Thanks for checking this out! It's my first time posting an RPG, and I don't really have a group I was able to playtest this with, so any feedback is appreciated.

A lot of dollar stores have bags of plastic glow-in-the-dark stones for around $3-5. I'll admit it isn't the most common material to find. Mechanically you could use anything and play in the light, but I thought playing in the dark was neat thematically.

Originally I had hard attribute bonuses for each group of remnants, but I decided to make their abilities softer and more story-based.

It's dark in the wasteland, making the Chyrek ability a bit OP, but the Chyrek become vulnerable any time people are nearby, who might have infrared equipment or artificial lamps. They make good scouts, but need to keep hidden in settlements.

And yeah, this is an RPG that expects plenty of character death, the world is over, some people are just late.
