4 - The Survival Tabletop Roleplaying Game

Game Jam Edition - Winner: Most Innovative (Ludum Praxi 2025)

"To wait for luck is the same as waiting for death." - Ancient Japanese proverb

4 is a survival TTRPG in which there is no way to succeed, only survive as long as you can! 

The system's core rule is a simple one:

DON'T ROLL UNDER 4!

Players use a standard set of polyhedral roleplaying dice and start the game using a D20 - But beware... for each time they fail they descend to the next highest value dice, increasing the odds of failure each time, until ultimately they have rolled their last.

The end is never the end!

When a player is eliminated they still have an opportunity to lend their aid one final time before departing the mortal realm, but will it be enough?

4 is a system designed for one shot or single adventure game nights. It's mechanic lends itself well to any scenario in which the players have to overcome the odds or a last person standing situation. In this version we have provided 8 suggested hooks/scenarios for you to enjoy in a variety of settings. 

Our game also features a rapid character creation, which after answering a few simple questions you will be ready to roll!

Roll well my friends and good luck!
