A war-torn dieselpunk universe to explore
Welcome to the World of Carbon Grey
CARBON GREY is a brand-new Role-Playing Game based on the popular graphic novel series created by Hoang Nguyen, Khari Evans, Paul Gardner, and Kinson Loh. It is set in an alternate history that at first blush resembles World War One, but with drastic, noticeable differences: fantastic and often futuristic technologies, supernatural abilities, unearthly creatures, and unexplainable phenomena that will leave you guessing.
Become a wartime hero
Take on the role of an operative or pawn awakened from blissful unawareness to the fantastic forces secretly at play in the universe.
As one of twenty-four unique character archetypes, you’ll be gifted with talents and abilities you choose to make your presence unique and indispensable to uncovering – and perhaps stopping – the hidden machinations manipulating world events.
Navigate the treacherous water of nobility as a Sovereign or Free Lady. Silence opposition as a deadly Royal Operative or Reluctant Mentor. Own the battlefield as a Trench Fighter or rule the skies as a Dogfighter. Navigate the underworld as a Moonlighter or Master Spy. Or walk the edge of reality as a mystical Dharman Adept or sentient Fenris Wolf.
The return of the D6 System by West End Games
CARBON GREY is built on the time-tested legacy of the D6 System by seminal developer West End Games. With a history of role-playing games based on popular properties including STAR WARS, GHOSTBUSTERS, MEN IN BLACK, and THE DC UNIVERSE, this well-known and accessible RPG system will allow players to dive into the world of CARBON GREY quickly and easily. Taking full advantage of the unique and popular “Wild Die” feature, adventures in CARBON GREY will be as thrilling and cinematic as players dare to imagine.
FEATURES
THE MAGNETIC VARIANT—CLASSIC GAMEPLAY WITH A HINT OF GREY
Over the years, various versions of the D6 System have been developed by West End Games and its affiliates for different types of gameplay. The Carbon Grey Role-playing Game is the first to use the Magnetic Variant of these classic tabletop role-playing game rules (D6MV), rewinding the D6 system back to its classic roots and streamlining it for a modern audience.
Rules variations unique to the Magnetic Variant of the system include Genre Defined Attributes, Streamlined Skills, and Character Quirks and Obligations.
Space/time in Carbon Grey is bent—apply too much pressure and it will snap. We’ve added a special Wild Die to represent this element of chaos to the game—chaos that can cause Continuity Surges, Flux Effects, and more.
