In Undead Paradise, health is tracked via memories.

If you lose your memories, you lose your free will, reverting back into a feral zombie.

Deep underground, at the lowest point of a ginormous dungeon, is the trapped city of Safety.

For generations, the humble people of Safety have survived cut off from the rest of the world. They harvest trees for wood, mine the tunnels for stone, and farm wheat and poultry for sustenance. Why are they down here?

According to some, the surface world is no more, destroyed in an apocalypse. Some claim that a great demon kidnapped their ancestors, and that they must conquer the dungeon to escape. And some claim that their never was a surface, existence is contained within the caves and the dungeon.

Every year, a festival is held. It is the one time of year when anyone who wishes to leave Safety and attempt the dungeon, may be permitted to do so. But once you leave, you cannot return until you have reached the fabled surface. Every day, people pass by the enormous doors that lead up to the dungeon, reminded by the words inscribed across its arch; "One Way Out".

TTRPG Design Notes:
Decided to swap out the Distortion effect from Undead Paradise and replace it with a Hallucination instead.

When a PC falls victim to the Hallucination effect, an Element from one of their Core Memories manifests as a hallucination. The PC spends their time interacting with it until they are snapped out, or the hallucination falls.

How do I design leveling up in a character-driven ttrpg?

In Undead Paradise, each milestone reached in a character’s journey merits them leveling up. Each Recent Memory created during gameplay translates to 50 Experience Points. During moments of Downtime and debriefing at the end of sessions, there will be opportunities to form Recent Memories with other Player Characters and NPCs.

With the Player-facing side of the rulebook mostly complete, I can expand upon the Game Master side of Undead Paradise. This includes the various creatures and their statblocks.

Below is an example of a Terraformer creature; the Orbrey.
Terraformer creatures have a TN of 9, and the habitat ability.

How do Undead die in Undead Paradise?

Death in Undead Paradise occurs when the Character loses their sentience and reverts back to a feral zombie. This is referred to as “Going Feral”.

If a PC depletes all their Core Memory Elements, they become unconscious and have three attempts at maintaining sentience. If they fail the three attempts, all Core Memories are erased and the PC is declared Feral and will reawaken in one hour as a hostile undead.

Similarly, if an adversarial reawakened undead has all of their health depleted, resulting in their death, they begin to turn Feral. Unless their body is properly disposed of within the following hour after death, they will reanimate as a Feral Zombie. Therefore it is advised to take careful consideration when engaging in combat against other undead lest an outbreak occurs.

I want to talk about the factions in my Undead Paradise.

With free will comes the inevitable conflict of ideas. Communities, each with differing opinions on how to live in this new undead existence, will form. How the PCs interact with these factions are up to them.

1. Scholar’s Coalition - working towards rebuilding civilisation to pre-apocalypse conditions.

2. Hellspawn - an anarchic cluster of gangs, based in the Wastelands, who subscribe to the beliefs that their reawakening has freed them from damnation, and absolved them of any previous sins/consequences.

3. Lichen Ward - Religion devoted to nurturing the mutation’s cultivation.

4. Remedy - Organisation dedicated to researching a cure against the mutation and a way to revert zombification.

5. Bunkerborn - reawakened zombies who dwell within underground bunkers and strongholds. They see the surface world as toxic.

6. Unity - tribe of nomadic explorers attempting to reconnect the world and revitalise lost culture and community.
