EACH MISERABLE DAY THAT PASSES, THE UNIVERSE INCHES CLOSER TO ITS INEVITABLE DEMISE

Vast Grimm is a stand-alone, art-filled, punk-fueled OSR role-playing game about the few humans remaining in a universe being consumed by growing parasitic würms.

Are you a MAnchiNe ravaged by war, pieced together with remnants of bots and the little flesh left of your body? Maybe you're a twisted biochemist shoving needles into your arms in hopes that this next fix will be the one that saves you and what’s left of humanity? Or perhaps you are a soul survivor, like a cockroach, doing whatever is necessary to stay alive even if it means the rest of your Legion must perish.

This is a game about survival, no matter how gruesome things get, humanity must survive. This book includes the core rules, classes, monsters, lore, and a starting adventure!

On the Pages:

A brief history – How The Six set out on a pilgrimage to the Primordial Mausoleum of THEY, in the year zer0. These truly devout disciples unleashed a plague of parasitic würms when they unsealed the ancient tomb. It has been 663 years since that day, and those who the würms infected have become known as The Grimm.
Locations across the ‘verse – A look at some of the places your Legion might explore while playing.
The Endings – Fatuma’s prophecies of how the universe will demise with rules on how these Torments will occur in gameplay.
8 Fast & Easy Steps to Character Creation – Rolling dice to determine everything about your character sure makes it feel like they will not live long. This includes 8 character classes like the MAnchiNe, Emo|Bot, and The Harvester. It also has charts for Irritating Idiosyncrasies, Misspent Youth, and Battle Scars to really give your character that extra level of filth.
Tributes – 20 pieces of technomagic that when used improperly can implode causing Cataclysmic Condemnations.
Pharmaceuticals – Because those who can’t physically escape often find other means.
Würms – 6 different würms to get infected by, wreaking havoc on your body and mind. Each includes a Parasitic Pain and Parasitic Pleasure chart to roll randomly on each day until you either die or the würm tires of your meat suit.
Optional Rules – For your Legion’s background, random starting ships, and devastating Cataclysmic Condemnations.
Monstrous Abominations – Nasty things to challenge your Legion’s fortitude.
Quick Rules – All you need to dive in and start playing.
