The wretched survivors cling to and venerate the barely recalled vestiges of civilization’s glorious past, with none so important as the almighty gas-guzzling internal combustion engine.

Start Your Engines with Quick Character Creation Powered by polymorph with Slick & Simple Resolution Mechanics Furiously Fun Over the Top Vehicular Action Make Characters Fast At character creation, each player selects one die (d4, d6, d8, or d10) to represent their character, and narrates actions to the Mechanic of Carnage (MC). The MC may then request rolls against a chart of moves. Players roll their one die, comparing the outcome against the success numbers listed for each move type (a SHIFT roll, for example, succeeds on rolling a 2 or 3). Success numbers vary across move types, which means different die sizes are more likely to meet with different forms of success. Do you think you're ready for this high speed, action packed, thrill ride? Than shut up and drive! Polymorph Thunder Road Vendetta RPG is powered by polymorph — which is a compact yet comprehensive rules framework for roleplaying. It’s designed to provide the full experience of a crunchy RPG, but with minimal setup and prep. Sorry, there isn’t really any math — we did all that work for you! In a polymorph game, each player only ever uses a specific polyhedral die: a d4, a d6, a d8, or a d10. Each die represents a different “way to play” or a different “role” that they have in the group. Whenever a player asks “can I do something”, they roll their die and with a quick glance at their character sheet to know if they succeed. There is NEVER any math involved when resolving actions (no modifiers, no masters)! Depending on the game world and what kind of character that you are playing — you may roll with advantage or disadvantage (or not need to roll at all); and the MC (the person running the game) never rolls dice. The MC has tools to control the flow of game, and resources like the players to ensure that game play is fast, fair, and fun - without needing to memorize a million rules.
