Survival Challenge!

About the adventure

Survival Challenge is an anthological survival-adventure game, which is intended to be played with the same players, using different characters for each adventure. The first adventure will be a classic "washed ashore" on a deserted island, where these non-survivalists must figure out how to survive. They must constantly deal with the threat of dehydration, starvation, sleep deprivation, weather events, wild animals, dangerous plants, and hostile natives. Being rescued is a matter of statistical probability, starting in the range of 0.5%, or 1-in-200, and going up increasingly as each month passes. The landscape is brutal, so not all characters, both NPCs & PCs, will make it. The goal is to stay alive and get rescued as quickly as possible, increasing your chances by building large bonfires, spelling out SOS for aerial recon, repairing emergency beacons, etc. Once the adventure concludes, another is selected, like a plane crash in the Andes Mountains or cast out to sea on a raft. The new adventure will use new PCs, but the hope is that players stick around to enjoy adventure after adventure. In the event that a PC dies, what happens is up to the player, they can either enter "spectator" mode, take over any surviving NPCs in the group, or possibly make a new character with less Character Points than the group. The game uses GURPS, a system with great thorough rules on all kinds of things, like the penalties for Missed Sleep, challenges of starting fires, and how Fatigue & Injuries hamper the body as it wears down. It has brutal rules that mirror reality, including slow HP regeneration, a need for Food, Water, & Sleep, and other survival staples, like tool maintence/construction, injury patching, encumbrance, etc. If you'd like to play this game at a different day or time, please feel free to message me!
