Apocalypse Keys Rpg (GDR)

What do you get when you throw Mike Mignola’s Hellboy, Powered by the Apocalypse (PbtA) rules, and complicated queer relationships into a design blender? The surprisingly delicious answer is Rae Nedjadi’s Apocalypse Keys, a slick and stylish vehicle for telling stories wherein diverting the apocalypse may require the player-controlled Omen Class Monsters to embrace the facet of themselves everyone fears most. The playbooks (a sort of pre-built character class typical to other PbtA games) at the heart of each character focus on the barely understood powers and emotional connections between the outcasts who have formed a sort of found family within the occult secret organization known as Division. Who covers your back as you wade through the depths of hell? Who do you trust to pull you back from the brink of oblivion?
