Discover Cataclysm

Something ended the world as we knew it. No one agrees on what, or why — only that it's called the Cataclysm. What's left are seven fractured regions, each shaped by its own scars, its own survivors, and its own rules for staying alive.

Cataclysm is a tabletop RPG built for the table, the couch, or the road — a narrative you and your group craft together, one campaign at a time.

Ok, so how do I play?

We understand that collectively crafting a robust narrative through role-play takes real time and effort — so whether you're stepping in as a Game Master or building your first character as a Player, Cataclysm is built to teach you as you go.

Digitally

Compatible with Android, iOS, Mac, and Windows, our digital products have everything you need to start playing any campaign — anywhere, anytime.

Physically

Love that classic tabletop feel? We've got you covered. Our kits include beautiful books, dice, covers, and tokens of luxury quality — without the luxury price tag.

Cataclysm Game Kit — $35.00

Includes everything you need to start crafting your post-apocalyptic world: gamebook, dice, cover, character tokens, Fate Points, and pit-roller.
