Rebels of the Outlaw Wastes is a gonzo retro-dystopian tabletop rpg, now available as a playtest PDF. You play misfit outlaws fighting fascist overlords in a dangerous but beautiful post-apocalyptic world. You create your own world with a single-page questionnaire, tilted towards bright, hopeful, and colorful rather than grimdark like most post-apoc settings. The rules are player-first and take inspo from contemporary systems like FitD and PbtA, but tailored for fast-paced and over-the-top storytelling. Character advancement uses STICKERS! As you complete achievements for different skills, you add badge stickers directly to your character sheet that add new uses and effects for the skill.
The playtest version is free to download here:

Rookwood Roots is live! 16 playable scenarios for use with The Curse of the House of Rookwood.
Check it out here: https://nerdypupgames.itch.io/rookwood-roots
A really good take on Silent Hill or No-End House style stories as a ttrpg. Makes great use of the Trophy/Ruled by Night system to create character-driven survival horror that can go horribly wrong, while also giving players a lot of tactical options in play that lead directly into narrative. Jam-packed with maps, points of interest, and eerie ephemera to fuel your incursion to the Island.
The physical book is now available on Indie Press Revolution!

Hello to all of the new folks discovering The Curse of the House of Rookwood. If you are looking for an example of play, please check out the actualplay podcast by fans of the game at Project Derailed. Set in Connecticut in the 1970s, their tale draws inspiration from Dark Shadows and other 70s horror.
