Scorched - An Apocalyptic Science Fiction Roleplaying Game

ADD TO WISHLIST >

Bloat Games is excited to announce SCORCHED.

This game is based on the simple concept, "What if Luke never left Tatooine?"

It's definitely heavily Star Wars inspired with a side of Mad Max thrown in for good measure. And did we mention, it has Power Armors?

Scorched is a full stand-alone TTRPG, clocking in at 223 pages, but is also fully compatible with The Blackest Space and can be used as a supplement to that game, also.

Scorched is a game that utilizes the BoD game system created by Eric Bloat for The Blackest of Deaths RPG.

The BoD game system is based on the d20 OGL with updates and alternate rules, most-notably the Core Mechanic:  Roll 1d20 & 1d6 Simultaneously

When you attack, make a save, make a skill, etc. roll a d20 and a d6 and add any applicable modifiers to the d20 roll.

If you meet, or beat, the target Difficulty Check or Evade score you succeed.

On the d6, do not add modifiers unless specifically instructed and ignore a roll of 2, 3, 4 or 5. For a roll of 1 add a Hindrance and for a roll of 6 add a Benefit. 

Hindrance

Hindrance adds an additional challenge or difficulty that was not present before the attempt.

Example: A Security Officer is successful with their laser attack; however, the laser gun has jammed and it costs the Officer their next attack to fix it.

Benefit

Benefit adds an additional convenience that was not present before the attempt.

Example: An attacker using their laser gun misses the mark; however, as the opponent attempts to dodge the attack, they hit their head on a doorway.

Just fyi - the page numbers in the appendix seem off.
For instance: cybernetics is listed in the appendix as being on pg 111, but is found on pg 114.

Did a search of Rule System for "BoD" and found nothing.
Being an undefined TLA (3 letter acronym) that hasn't reached household name status, what the heck is it, do we need if for this, and a link to it would probably be a good idea, especially if we need it for this product.
Thanks

So, er, did you all intend for the preview file to be the full book with a "SAMPLE" watermark on it?

Because that's what it looks like.

I have a setting based question; if we assume the Scorched setting is fully in Blackest Space and allowed free use of all material from both games together; how does magic and psychic powers work for the mechanized races? The Apparatus and Cymyrs can use all the psychic and supernatural classes but the Robos get none of the magic classes. What makes the Robo not like the other mechanized races? Do they not have souls, for lack of a better term, that the Apparatus and Cymyrs have so the Robos wouldn't have the Blackest Space supernatural classes ether, or is it magic itself, that needs a biological user but not psionics, so the mechanical races from blackest space could not use the magic classes ether Robos potential Psions? I just want your gut instinct answer.

It is currently available in print from the Bloat Games webstore (for US customers) and from Lulu (for International customers). Sorry but I can't leave direct links because of Drivethru's policy but you should be able to find them easily with a quick Google. :)

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
