Fresh Decay

Fresh Decay is a quick start guide for The Decay: Survival Horror Roleplaying. It contains the full game, and everything you need to begin weaving horrific nightmares of your own. Here's what you'll find within these decrepit pages:

• The full rules for players and Guides (GMs)
• Simple, easy to learn gameplay
• Alternate rules to tweak the game
• 3 ready to use Horrors, and tools to make your own
• The ready-to-run found footage one shot scenario, Like Old Times
• Incredible illustrations by Enoch Duncan, Strega Wolf, and Roque Romero.
• Third party license so you can create your very own nightmares using The Decay

The Decay uses a decaying dice system inspired by Breathless, in which every roll your character makes brings you one step closer to being worm food. Your struggle to survive will bring the best and worst out of you, in your Saving Grace and Fatal Flaw.

No one-shot kills for player characters here. Your character will be taken down by inches as the Decay slowly consumes you from the inside out.

Guides get tools to help control the pacing and keep the story surprising with the Decay Level mechanic and Decay Events triggering off of player rolls.

Content Warnings: Graphic Images, Blood & Gore, Violence, Cannibalism, Spiders, Occultism, Loss of Agency, Death, Decay
