(Kickstarter) #ZineQuest2025 - Rustwater

Rustwater is a realm where the Four Curses destroyed the comfortable life of humans, along with their centuries-old written knowledge — reducing them from an apex species to prey struggling to survive.

Water, both as a power source and transport, dominates the landscape. The corroding hulks of humankind’s Relic Age, roughly a hundred years before your story begins, stain its waters and give this place its name.

This is the foreground where players will weave their own story amidst decay, oddity — and for the courageous — perhaps even hope.

Rustwater isn’t a happy world… but the characters could make it a better one.
