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.
