Back to Realities
Your World Has Been Deleted 2nd Ed.
In DevelopmentYour World Has Been Deleted 2nd Ed. is a surreal survival horror TTRPG set among the remains of realities in the process of being erased.
Your world has already been discarded. The people you knew no longer exist. No one is coming for you. No one will ever remember you again, because those who could have remembered disappeared with everything else. There is no shared history to return to, and no authority left to acknowledge that you were ever there.
What remains is not a world, but its remains: recognizable spaces without reliable continuity, objects that still have presence without always obeying their purpose, and memories returning incomplete, like fragments dragged through an archive already closing itself.
Somewhere inside that deterioration, an Exit may exist. You will not know clearly where it is, whether the signs pointing toward it are true, or what remains on the other side. Your only certainty is that searching for it is the last option available: the only hope you can still hold onto before the deletion finishes closing.
V.O.I.D. System
Uncertain, dangerous or scene-changing actions are resolved through the V.O.I.D. system.
Each roll uses two twelve-sided dice: one Stable Die and one Unstable Die. The Unstable result is subtracted from the Stable result, and the final value is read on a scale from −12 to +12.
That scale defines two things at once.
Magnitude shows whether the action reaches enough force to take effect. Direction shows how it manifests: toward stability or toward instability.
A positive result means a stable intervention: the action is imposed with enough control, precision or coherence.
A negative result means an unstable intervention: the action may still work, but it leaves a Consequence, alters the scene or pushes reality toward deeper deterioration.
In V.O.I.D., failure is not always the worst outcome. Sometimes the dangerous part is getting exactly what you wanted on the wrong side of the scale.
The Clock
Every Event begins with a Clock made of twelve dice placed at the center of the table. Each die represents one remaining hour before the final collapse of the discarded reality.
As time is consumed, dice are removed from the Clock. Some hours are lost through the progression of the Event, movement, decisions, threats or environmental decay. Others are lost through severe unstable results within the V.O.I.D. system.
If a roll falls too deep into the unstable side, reality does not only respond in the scene: it also loses time.
From −7 to −9, the Clock loses one hour.
From −10 to −11, it loses two hours.
At −12 or less, the Event reaches catastrophic collapse.
Removed dice may become Remnants: traces of consumed time that still remain on the table and can affect certain rules. Lost time does not vanish cleanly. It remains there, used, broken and still tempting.
The Clock makes pressure visible. It is not an abstract countdown. It sits on the table, shrinks in front of everyone and reminds the group that every intervention happens inside a world that is ending.
Functional Memories
Functional Memories are fragments of a previous life returning as procedures, tools and supplies.
A medical professional may manifest emergency resources. A technician may restore function to damaged systems. A field worker may prepare shelter, food or routes forward. An investigator may recover meaning from incomplete records.
These memories do not solve the Event by themselves.
They make action possible while action is still possible.
For the Director
The Director prepares the Event, maintains the Clock and manages the information the Survivors are able to perceive. During the Event, the only dice are rolled by the Survivors. The Director never rolls for the world, the threats or the entities.
Anomalous entities are not controlled by the Director; they act on their own. Once introduced, they advance according to their patterns, impulses and rules. The Director observes their presence, interprets their signs and applies the corresponding protocol when an aggression, an unstable response or an Event condition requires it.
Their margin lies in preparation, pacing, consequences and restricted access. At the table, they conduct the collapse. Within the document, their function remains partially classified.
Restricted note: access incomplete:
The Director’s authorized function is Event conduction.
Their secondary function is █████████████████████.
Assigned entities must █████████████████████.
Subject survival remains █████████████████████.
If an Exit is reached, all records must be preserved for █████████████████████.
The world is already lost.
The Director preserves the procedure until the Survivors exhaust their options.
