T3h rules

-=Whiteout=-

 

Environmental Effects-

Whiteout takes place in an arctic setting, therefore during unfavorable conditions the DM may chose to implement special rolls based on temperature and intensity of the environment.

Prolonged exposure to the cold elements may warrant a higher DC Rating, all are used at the DM's discretion.

 

Special Enemies-

-Thing Beasts

The main antagonists are based on John Carpenters 1982 Film, "The Thing"

The Thing is an alien entity which can invade and assimilate control of any living organism through exposure on a cellular level. Thing beasts can assume many shapes and forms, and can imitate many forms of life perfectly. The main goal a Thing-Beast strives for is to turn its opponents against one another by raising suspicions that their own team-members may be Thing-Beasts. The only way to ensure the defeat of any thing beast is to burn it. Good.

 

Infeection-

Players throught the game will be exposed to The Thing, and their infection levels will raise based on the amount of negative exposure they experience. For example, Player vs SKitter-THing Beast, A player is ambushed and the skitter-thing beast rolls a successful attack. Based on the intensity of the attack the player will receive damage to their Hits and/or Wounds, in addition to a rise (+XXX%) to their infection level.

 

At the start of the game all Players begin with an infection level of 000%, If at any point that Infection level rises above 080%, the player is considered to be infected, with a chance to reverse their condition. Should a player rise to a 100% infection level, they can no longer reverse their condition back to [humanity].

 

The DM keeps track of the infection levels, keeping them hidden from all players in game (to dissuade metagaming and to promote a feeling of uncertainty among the party). If at any point a player achieves a 080% - 100% infection level, the DM will choose a time and place to reveal the infection of that player, at which point the player may choose to continue playing as a Thing-Beast or just call it quits and let the DM assume control of that entity.

 

Firearms-

Firearms play a special role in the game, as they are the most reliable source of attack. All Firearms have a finite source of ammunition and each uses a specific ammunition type.Firearms have unique fire-types and settings. Firearms and ammunition are kept track of by the DM and the player cards should the DM choose to use that method.

 

Firearms are successful on any 4+ roll, anything below that is a failure.
