THE ZONE: Cursed Exclusion Area

Y
Yugo20

A deadly Zone of mutants, artifacts, and factions. You seek truth, treasure, or survival.


Author's Note: This world is inspired by the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series, Roadside Picnic, and Tarkovsky’s film Stalker. It blends post-apocalyptic survival with mystery, horror, and moral ambiguity. Radiation, anomalies, and mutant threats are ever-present. Suggested rules: incorporate exhaustion, madness, artifact effects, and custom hazards. Emissions can shift locations or spawn new dangers. Factions compete for control, and trust is rare. Expect a low-magic, high-lethality environment where knowledge and preparation matter more than brute strength.

Description

Once a sleepy borderland, now the unofficial gateway to the Zone. Patrolled by military and home to Rookie Village, it's the starting ground for most stalkers. Anomalies flicker in nearby fields, and danger hides beneath calm appearances.
