Z-Day Zero Day

Z-Day Zero Day You’re behind the wheel of whatever still runs. The world ended in stages. You stayed on the road. ZDAY is a solo journaling RPG built as a novel engine. Each entry you choose one Work — Drive, Hold, Scavenge, or Chase — roll, write 1–5 lines or a full scene, then face the Horde. Track Route, Rig, and Ties. Calamities force mid-book crises. Omens and named finds become motifs. At Route 7 you choose how the story ends — or doesn’t. Optional Hexmaul compatibility when you want crunch. Default is pure journal; violence lives in the prose. Inside: 10 pages · core loop · Route/Rig/Ties · Horde, Weather, Calamity, Salvage, Omens · city & wilderness tables · medical, power, weapons · dreams, memory, mood · settlement · HexMaul bridge · endings & quick ref Need: d6, d8, d12, d20, d100 · paper or notes · 25–70 entries for a novella-to-novel spine
