A downloadable game

LEVIATHAN is a biopunk TTRPG, focused on tactical combat, desperate survival, and the construction of a community in a baroque alien megastructure

Players take on the role of posthuman mercenaries operating out of a fledgling settlement in the depths of a vast, hostile wilderness. Survival depends not only on scavenging and foraging the supplies and technology to sustain your people, but seeking out and destroying the threats waiting at the peripheries of the human settlements - predatory flora and fauna, ruthless marauders, and the lethal mechanisms of the megastructure itself.


Features

Streamlined Tactical Combat: Battle the strange and hostile denizens of the megastructure in tactical combat. Roll your dice at the start of combat, then assign them to your actions; the higher the die spend, the greater the effect.

Diceless Narrative Gameplay: Decide what you're willing to wager, spend or sacrifice to get what you want. Achieve your aims with compromise, expend resources to get what you want, or invite complications to strengthen your resolve.

Born by Chance: Assemble your character from a randomly-rolled combination of Backgrounds and superhuman Traits, creating hundreds of potential combinations of abilities.

Build Your Home: Acquire resources and allies as you explore the depths of a vast alien megastructure, then invest them back into your Outpost to gain facilities and advantages for future expeditions.

Embrace Change: Your post-human genome reacts to fatal trauma with life saving transformations; space and time bends to restore you from a parallel timeline; the alien intelligence permeating the megastructure resurrects your failing flesh by blending it with machinery. Live, die, live again.
