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

You gain the ability to comprehend and verbally communicate with beasts for the duration. The knowledge and awareness of many beasts is limited by their intelligence, but at a minimum, beasts can give you information about nearby locations and monsters, including whatever they can perceive or have perceived within the past day. You might be able to persuade a beast to perform a small favor for you, at the DM's discretion.
