The 100 RPG

Welcome to a post-nuclear world...

"It's been ninety-seven years since a nuclear apocalypse killed everyone on Earth, leaving the planet simmering in radiation. Fortunately, there were survivors. Twelve nations had operational space stations at the time of the bombs."

"There is now only the Ark, one station forged from the many."

For generations, the Ark has carried the last remnants of humanity. Life aboard the station is harsh, overcrowded, and ruled by brutal necessity. Every resource is rationed. Every law exists to preserve oxygen, food, and order for as long as possible. On the Ark, survival matters more than mercy, and every citizen grows up understanding one terrifying truth: if you are over eighteen years old, any crime—violent or minor—is punishable by death by exposure to space, known simply as floating.

"We're told the Earth needs another hundred years to become survivable again. Four more space-locked generations, and man can go home, back to the ground. The ground, that's the dream. This is reality."

"Reality sucks."

The truth is far worse than most people realize.

The Ark is dying.

This is the secret the Council desperately hides from the population. Life support systems are failing. Oxygen reserves are collapsing. In only a few months, every man, woman, and child aboard the Ark will suffocate unless a solution is found. Humanity is running out of time.

So the Council makes an impossible decision.

One hundred prisoners—individuals arrested before their eighteenth birthdays and originally destined for future execution but have had their executions stayed past their eighteenth birthdays—are instead chosen for a different kind of death sentence. They are loaded onto an experimental dropship and sent to Earth to determine if the planet can sustain human life again. Officially, they are criminals. Delinquents. Disposable bodies sent to die so the Ark can survive.

Unofficially, they are humanity's last hope.

Some of the 100 are violent offenders. Some stole medicine, food, or supplies simply trying to survive the Ark's unforgiving class system. Some broke laws that never should have existed in the first place. Others were sacrificed to political convenience, corrup
