*** THE KICKSTARTER FOR THE CORE RULEBOOK IS NOW LIVE ***

This world is an error. A glitch. It has to be. This can’t be the way life was meant to be. 

It all went wrong somewhere. Probably when we let the hyper-corps take control. Now they control everything we consume. Everything we eat, drink, watch, or buy. They’re even  trying to control how we think. Sooner or later, they’ll finish the job. 

Unless you stop them.

Welcome to Terminal State. In this tabletop roleplaying game QuickStart, you and your friends take on the role of the protagonists of the story. Traversing the mean streets, executive boardrooms, and barren wastelands of a near-future corporate dystopian world. Who knows, maybe you’ll be the ones who change the fate of humanity.

Or, maybe you’ll just earn some credit and blow stuff up!
