We ran a Zone 17 crowdfunding campaign a year ago. We pulled the plug on it a few days in when appeared that we were going to fall a bit short of our goal. We’re reworking the funding campaign to create one that is better, stronger, and faster. We also took the time to update the books, improve the art, and integrate some of the amazing ideas that we left on the cutting room floor. Our next campaign will attach “Version 1.1” to the material. We think you’re worth it.

Zone 17 play has two scales — Agent Scale, to manage personal role-playing and gun-fu combat and Battle Scale, to manage combat between vehicles, such as tanks and mecha. Mmmm. Mecha. Players can design their own vehicles, to specialize in cargo hauling, racing, or combat as desired.

Zone 17 uses puzzles to resolve role-playing efforts and other challenging tasks. Combat resolution uses Evade, Dodge, and Juke values to avoid hostile fire and Resilience values to mitigate effects. Armor works like real armor. Trauma and Havoc are products of hit severity and weapon class. Real physics. Who’d have thought?

Zone 17’s game system is novel. No hit points. No armor classes. It’s a whole new game system. If you’re up to learning it, great! On the other hand, some people don’t like to learn new things. That’s cool. There are plenty of other games whose settings and game engines haven’t changed much since the 1970s. Your fun is valid. You play any way you want.

Characters have roles. Scavengers battle with other scavengers and mutants over wasteland resources. Suits navigate the labyrinthian mega-corp political maneuvers. Soldiers drive high-tech armored vehicles across contested landscapes. Solos traverse back alleys to complete underworld gigs for which others haven’t the stomach.

Zone 17 is One Small Step Game’s new role-playing game. The game takes place 60 years in the future amidst the ruins of a failed superpower. Some of the places that characters find themselves are dystopian. Other places are horrifying wastelands. The game even has some cyberpunk game elements. You can drive technicals (DIY combat vehicles) and do battle with scavengers amidst city ruins. You can hunt genetically engineered super humans or humanoid robots inside of high-tech cities of steel and glass. You can design and field a combat mecha to escort goods across hostile territory.
