Roll Dice. Flip Cards. Escape Fate.

Work together in a race against time to escape a dying sun.

Sun Rot is a GM-led, rules light, cooperative adventure, perfect for newcomers to narrative gaming.

Players build a multi-character party from four classes, while a GM drives the game’s tension and tempo.

Roll a die to see if you can complete your desired action and if successful, flip a card to find out your fate. Unlike typical TTRPGs where you min/max stats to guarantee your ideal outcome, the cards decide if it’s a heroic or disastrous end.

  • Sun Rot has opened doors of creativity that I never knew existed inside of me.

    — Joey Royale, Get Haunted Industries

  • This game rocks, tons of fun, easy to learn, and deeply customizable to your group of players.

    — Austin Klingenberg, Hobbyist and Grimdark Enthusiast

  • I was surprised how quickly the game “clicked” as so many RPG and tabletop games have a higher bar to entry. The first session I ran was with two people who have had no prior gaming experience, and it was an absolute blast.

“As a shop focused on independent wargaming, we've hosted a lot of events introducing people to new games. The response to Sun Rot was genuinely unprecedented, attracting not only a huge crowd for its demo game, but keeping everyone excited and engaged from the start to well past the posted end time. We hit our closing time before the enthusiasm had died down and continued the gameday into afterhours.

It’s a gorgeously presented and cleverly conceived game, with a fantastic sense of style and a rules light format with enough twists to keep things interesting for experienced players, while being extremely approachable and, more importantly, compelling to the uninitiated.”— Trace Cabot, Owner LA Wargames
