Do you have what it takes to survive the Rise?

The Apocalypse the Risen Campaign Setting thrusts you into the role of a resolute survivor, forging through the ashes of humanity on an Earth besieged by demons and the dead—known as Risen. 25 years after the collapse of society, humankind and their new allies now fight back, staggered and beaten but never broken.
Demons and the risen are not the only horrors of the world. Malevolent spirits, mutated abominations, and perhaps the worst monsters of all—desperate men and women willing to do anything to survive—all populate a landscape fraught with peril. But all is not lost. Colonies have formed as the living struggle to rebuild a semblance of the world before The Rise, establishing trade and creating alliances.
Is it the survival of your Colony that drives you onward in the hunt for precious resources? Or perhaps hatred for the evils walking the Earth that fuels your righteous anger seeking redemption?
Whether you are a Maverick dependent on your keen eye and uncanny reflexes, or a Splicer reliant on your ingenuity and ability to bridge magic and technology, there is one thing for certain. Those of Darkness watch… And they wait.

The Apocalypse the Risen kickstarter is live now, awaiting intrepid backers!

We are less than $250 away from funding after just 48 hours of the Kickstarter opening! If you're thinking about backing, now would be the time as we have a lot of great stretch goals coming up.

As a side note, we will be running two different all new adventures for Apocalypse the Risen at PaizoCon 2017, so if you want to get familiar with our setting before joining us for our sessions at PaizoCon definitely get our free downloads and tell us what you think!

And we just hit 100% funding as I was writing the previous post! Apocalypse the Risen will now be published, so please jump on as a backer to get those stretch goals moving!

If you do back it, or even if you don't but really dig the setting, please do shout it at the top of your lungs so we can keep enriching this world and deliver more content via those stretch goals.

Thank you all!

Definitely has a different take than the standard D&D/PF type setting; guessing there'd be some sorta sidebar on advice like how to crossover both worlds and stuff? ;)

You got it! Apocalypse the Risen is a stand-alone campaign setting, but technically the races, classes, monsters, etc would be able to crossover to any other campaign setting, as they are fully compatible with either system.


Here's the latest Kickstarter update! We are previewing the next couple of stretch goals, along with some art and hints of a special event coming up for backers. Get in on the fun now, there are still 3 days left to back us!

Apocalypse the Risen Kickstarter Update #15
