Road Rage

Welcome to Road Rage!

Road Rage is a game where you play as a convoy of savage, supercharged animal-humanoids, each one burning with the Rage of the road, racing and rampaging across an endless, toxic wasteland.

In Road Rage, you and your friends will craft a collaborative story of insane action, impossible stunts, and ultraviolence, with a hint of the fantastically otherworldly.

What Is This?

This is Road Rage: a tabletop role-playing game where mutant misfits, wasteland warriors, and grease-streaked survivors team up to tear across the scorched earth in search of fuel, fame, and a shot at freedom.

You’ll raid rusted-out settlements, hijack rumbling convoys, and pull off harebrained stunts with nothing but grit, guts, and a half-tanked V8. Every madcap venture puts you one skid closer to your Final Destination: that last big score, bitter revenge, long-lost redemption, or just a quiet spot to die with a full tank and a clean conscience.

Powered by the Story Road Engine, a fast-paced d6/4 dice pool system, every session is a wild ride where your Rage (a high-octane fail-forward game mechanic) fuels everything from high-speed chases to brutal showdowns.

How To Play

This is just a taste of the core action resolution powering Road Rage, the first game built on the Daggerwood Games Story Road Engine. 

"Does this enable players and Road Masters alike, to be as creative and free in their storytelling as their imagination can take them?". -- Yes! In fact, a story-first ruleset was our primary design goal.

How does Road Rage stack up as an immersive Tabletop Roleplaying Game system?
The game has been built with the very clear goal of supporting thematic and dramatic collaborative storytelling and through many playtest sessions, we've honed the ruleset to support that style of play.
