The Lost Bay Preorders

Strong Vibes. Playable character classes are called Vibes and are inspired by ’90s urban and horror archetypes. There’s ten to choose from, like Splinter, Firestarter, Scanner, or Screamer. Vibes are granted specific powers and starting gear.

Lore light and flavor heavy. The lore of The Lost Bay is spread throughout the ruleset, tables, and game procedures. You’ll discover it as you create your character and play. You can customize the setting or dive headfirst into the pre-existing world.

Open and play. The core ruleset is spread over four pages and built around a unique mechanic: roll a pool of d6s and keep the highest result. 6 is a success, a 5 is a success with complications. Whether you’re a veteran or novice, you’ll need only fifteen minutes to familiarize yourself with it.

Deadly combat. Combats are fast and epic, particularly if you use one of your Powers. Powers always succeed, but might trigger Scars.

Solo compatible. The ruleset, setting, and procedures have been designed from the outset to support both  solo and ensemble play.

Vast. The Lost Bay implied setting is divided into seven Districts. For each District (Mall Nation, the Waterfront, Trashland, Sleep Country, Sinking Marshes, the Eye and the Desert), you’ll get a specific bestiary, pregenerated mini pointcrawl, detailed locations, and additional location generation procedures. 

Weird is cool. The Lost Bay is story driven and focused on exploration and character growth in an urban dark fantasy world.
