The Plague
A story roleplaying game about a nationwide flu outbreak that wipes out much of the population overnight. Characters shelter indoors while waiting for the CDC to issue an all-clear, managing dwindling resources, isolation, fear, and suspicion. The game uses vignettes, interrogations, interludes, and ensemble scenes to develop the story. It requires no preparation and uses a deck of poker cards and tokens to track drama points. It is designed for three or more players and uses GMless protocols such as scene-framing and shared authority.
