Era: Survival 8th Anniversary Definitive Edition Rulebook

Era: Survival is a survival horror Tabletop RPG set in the midst of the zombie apocalypse. Gaia was once home to an upright, developing civilization. But once the Infection spread and the undead started walking the planet, humanity collapsed. Fight for (or against) any of the thirteen remaining factions that still inhabit this world, each with their own philosophy of how to survive the apocalypse. Or, start your own band of survivors to take on this dead world under your own terms.

This 310 page full-color Definitive Edition Rulebook is the culmination of everything we learned through years of playing the game. Updated and expanded with new lore, mechanics, and clarification on frequently asked-about rules, this edition of Era: Survival is guaranteed to leave you on the edge of your seat.

Era: Survival runs on the critically acclaimed Era D10 ruleset, a versatile “dice pool” based system with rules adapted to the cruel world of Gaia. The game’s unique Karma system rewards good or evil karma based on your actions’ outcomes. Your karma affects how you interact with NPCs, the type of loot you find, and many other aspects of your survival. This results in all your decisions feeling more tense and consequential, even the smallest mistakes can spell life or death. However, the ruleset is easy to get into and keeps the story in the spotlight while ensuring the combat and other mechanics are smooth and engaging.

In this rulebook you will find: 

Even more of the stories of Gaia, a step-by-step guide to character creation with numerous examples, a list of weapons, equipment and vehicles that you may encounter, premade characters, advice for GMs and over 30 sample sessions.

It also contains the Infected Manual (100 biomorphs for new abilities),
Tales From The Outlands, which offers an introduction to lands beyond,
Encounters En Route, which gives 100 encounter options during travel,
and Settlements and People, which gives you every detail about 30 new and unique settlements!

The Era: Survival Definitive Edition Rulebook (and a few dice!) are all that is required for anyone to play the game, with separate Karma Cards highly recommended, but not strictly necessary. With a vast array of expansions and source books available there is always more, should you want to dive deeper into the world of Era: Survival.
