SCRAPPERS

Scrappers: play in a post-apocalyptic wasteland with weapons cobbled-together out of scrap and refuse. Guns and Ammo have long since been used up, and warriors and survivors have to make do with ancient refined metals. 

This game is a proof-of-concept for a rewarding system for tracking resources, weapon durability, and maybe even Ammo by relegating Resource Loss to a end-of-day metagame that rewards EXP at the cost of needing to make frequent repairs. You can change out parts of weapons to improve them, but if you use a part so much that it breaks, you get a little extra experience as you build on the collective story of your Theseus’ Tool. I’d love feedback if you playtest this or hack it into other systems, which you’re welcome to do.
