Arctic Post 7

Creepy. Christmas… Cheerful Clones?!

A one-page tabletop role-playing game about ordinary people facing impossible festive horrors. Your mission is simple, investigate the disappearance of a group of scientists at Arctic Post 7.

What is Arctic Post 7?

Arctic Post 7 is a rules-lite game focused on Stress and immediate consequence. You and your group take on the roles of a rescue crew, searching for answers as to the whereabouts of the crew of a scientific mission in the deep polar north. What you find there is, if you pardon the pun, chilling—a group of friendly, identical, and unnervingly cheerful clones.

This game is perfect for:

• One-Shot Horror: Dive into a terrifying scenario in under an hour.
• Minimal Prep: Everything you need is on a single page.
• Atmosphere: Focus on tension and roleplaying rather than complex rules.
• High Risk: Every choice carries the threat of trauma and failure.

Features

• 1d6 Core Mechanic: Simple and fast resolution. Roll a 4+ to succeed.
• Rules-Lite and Plot-Lite: Take the premise and make it your own. Players, or the GM if you have one, guide the narrative to make the story unique.
• Track your character's mental state. Reaching max Stress means your character is Shaken. Further Stress can Break your character.
• Specialty vs. Fear: Success relies on using your one Specialty, but the looming threat of your character's deepest Fear can quickly push them past their breaking point.
• Instant Character Creation: Ready to play in minutes.

Are you ready to face the cheerful clones? Are you ready to risk becoming one yourself?
