⚠️ Twilight: 2000 – 4th Edition is a tactical survival RPG using step dice. Roll one die for your attribute and one for your skill; each 6+ is a success, and extra successes can mean more damage, faster work, better positioning, or other special results.

💥 “They gave us vaccine cases, flamethrowers, and a route upriver. Said it was simple: stick the clean ones, burn the dead ones, keep the boat moving. Said the hard part would be telling infected from clean. Not in the least. Hard is knowing exactly who’s clean and still leaving them behind because the boat’s taking rounds, bingo fuel, and Thrashers already in the water.”

🔥 THRASHERS: BLACK RIVER

THE RIVER RUNS BLACK.

In the alternative-history year 2000, the Cold War went hot, World War III is still burning, and the nuclear exchange has not happened yet — but everyone can feel the world sliding toward something worse.

Roads are broken, fuel is scarce, and rivers have become lifelines again: routes for trade, refugees, soldiers, raiders, and worse. Somewhere upriver, at Kestrel Research Station, a classified military program called HARDSPINE failed. It was meant to create stronger, faster, more aggressive soldiers. Instead, it created the Thrashers: infected human beings driven into violent, animalistic frenzy.

You are part of a desperate riverine mission sent into the containment zone with vaccine samples, limited fuel, portable flamethrowers, and a battered boat that may be your only way in or out. Your orders are direct: inoculate the uninfected, burn the infected dead, recover what intelligence you can, and keep the outbreak from spreading downriver.

But simple orders do not survive starving refugees, contaminated villages, panicked soldiers, bad intel, broken radios, and command openly debating whether a B-52 strike with MK-77 firebombs is the only way left to contain the river.

This is not a cartoon zombie game. The Thrashers were people. Some still look like people. Some may have been people you were sent to save.

🚤 WHAT TO EXPECT

Every session begins in motion: a burning dock, a screaming radio call, a refugee boat in the fog, a failing engine, a contaminated checkpoint, or Thrashers already in the reeds.

Your boat is your lifeline, your weapon platform, your shelter, and maybe your coffin. The question is not just whether you can reach Kestrel Research Station — it is what you will become before you get there.

Expect tactical survival horror, river travel under pressure, desperate rescues, hard triage decisions, limited fuel, flamethrowers, moral injury, infected violence, military paranoia, and the constant threat that command may decide the whole river is easier to burn than save.

⚙️ SYSTEM OVERVIEW

Twilight: 2000 – 4th Edition is a grounded survival RPG built for tactical danger, scarce resources, and hard choices. It uses Free League’s step-dice system: when the outcome is uncertain, you usually roll one die for your attribute and one die for your skill, with every 6 or higher counting as a success.

The rules support firefights, travel, scavenging, vehicle action, negotiation, injury, stress, and survival pressure without requiring previous experience. New players are welcome, pre-generated characters are available, and the rules will be taught during play.
