UNDERGROUND SCAR is a TTRPG zine in a state of ruin and mutation. An autopsy of analog play, where each episode functions as a lens focused on a fracture point within the hobby: mechanical, aesthetic, or philosophical.

🙏 Thank you so much!

Thanks for your questions.

Healing can occur during combat (see COMBAT > REGEN), or upon rebirth (see REBIRTH);

The main rewards are obtained by defeating each opponent.

i’m glad you like it, thanks!🙏

Yeah!👍

This causes another aberration to appear for you to face. Instead of rolling, you can choose. If you do, select the new aberration based on your current situation and the type of reward you want to obtain by defeating it. If you defeat it, it counts toward your goal of three. Hope this helped.

🙏 Thank you so much for your feedback, it means a lot to me.

Each Aberration defeated grants a fixed reward. However, if Entropy occurs, the next reward is random (it must be rolled on a d6).

I hope I was able to help.

Thank you so much! I hope you enjoy the game

Thank you so much, that means a lot to me

THE COLD IRON is a lethal, symbolic, and contemplative solo TTRPG. It plays like a condensed narrative — ideal for zine lovers, survival horror enthusiasts, dungeon crawlers, roguelike fans, grimdark OSR players, and designers interested in minimalist gameplay loops. Perfect for short, immersive, and introspective sessions.
