LEVIATHAN

LEVIATHAN is a work-in-progress tabletop role-playing game of survival and community within an alien megastructure. Players take on the role of scavengers, hunters and mercenaries in a fledgling settlement  in the wilds of an endless machine-city , tasked not only with scavenging the supplies necessary to sustain and grow the population, but protecting their people from the threats that prey on posthumanity.

The gameplay of LEVIATHAN is focused on the three pillars of Exploration, Management, and Combat-

Exploration: Mapping the megastructure around the Settlement is a major task, allowing resources to be identified and utilised. Players send their characters out on missions to explore sectors of Leviathan, resolving threats and accruing Resources and Artefacts for the Management phase.

Management: The Settlement is grown through the accrual of Resources (food, clothing, medical supplies) and Artefacts (rare or unique technology). Resources can be stockpiled and traded for Spare Time for player characters, allowing them the chance for self-improvement, or converted into Upgrades for the Settlement's amenities and infrastructure.

Combat: When the time comes for violence, LEVIATHAN uses a simple yet robust combat engine adapted from the Menoetian Press game EREBUS. Player Characters use a combination of posthuman Traits and expendable Gear to face off against the threats in the belly of Leviathan: enraged megafauna, cryptic entities, and even other posthumans can all pose a lethal threat to the survival of the Player Characters and their Settlement.
