Free RPG Day? Here’s One With Zombies

Today’s Free RPG Day, and while we don’t have anything brand-new to show you, we do have a game you can run tonight:

🧟‍♂️ The Blighted North A survival horror TTRPG set in the snowy collapse of Canada, full of undead, improvised gear, and dark humor. Built for the Never51 jam, free to play, and made to fall apart in all the best ways.

Download it here: 👉 questludica.itch.io/the-blighted-north-quickstart

We’re running it today too. Let us know how your table survives.

And for those watching the Nodes: MENTARIS is still compiling. Check our website for a free exclusive content preview.

Thank you @indiepressrevolution and everyone who got me to 10 reblogs!

The System Rewards Introductions. Here's ours.

MENTARIS: STAY HUMAN A narrative RPG from QUEST LUDICA coming soon to Kickstarter.

The world didn’t end. It was reorganized. Every breath is measured. Every thought ranked. Obedience is rewarded. Deviance is erased.

You are not a chosen one. You are a risk factor.

This isn’t a setting of ancient prophecies. This is a world built on algorithmic control, faith collapse, and quiet rebellion. Every choice you make is noticed. Some get you erased. Others change everything.

We’re building something we haven’t seen before. Not a sandbox. A system. Designed to break you. Or prove you still exist.

Stay human. Stay unseen.

Family came to London. We stepped away.

But work never fully stops.

While MENTARIS—our dystopian sci-fi TTRPG—edges closer to Kickstarter, we built something lighter (barely):

🧟‍♂️ The Blighted North

A survival horror tabletop RPG made for the Never51 jam.

Set in a collapsed Canadian wilderness where the dead won’t stay dead, and your best weapon might be complaining.

🧟‍♂️ I made a thing and it's free and it's ridiculous 🍁

THE BLIGHTED NORTH - a survival horror RPG about what happens when America tries to annex Canada and accidentally creates the most polite zombie apocalypse in history.

The vibes:

Zombies who queue politely

"Sorry" after every bite

Tim Hortons as fortress settlements

Hockey equipment as armor

Geese who are STILL the most dangerous creatures even when undead

Dark humor that doesn't make light of real trauma

The mechanics:

BRP/d100 system (like Call of Cthulhu but Canadian)

Pre-made characters ready to play

4-6 hour scenario with actual moral choices

Rules for surviving when being polite might get you killed

Made for Never51 Game Jam exploring territorial expansion gone catastrophically wrong.

It's completely free because indie creators deserve nice things.

The world didn’t burn. It restructured.

Now, in the sealed Nodes, MENTARIS governs every breath, every thought, every deviation.

Citizens are scored. Deviants disappear.

MENTARIS: STAY HUMAN is our debut tabletop RPG - a narrative system built on moral weight, defiance, and the machinery of control.

Kickstarter soon.

Follow if you believe remembering to be human is an act of rebellion.
