Ruthless: Survive, Betray, Escape

In the far flung future the iron fist of justice is harsh and swift, but the death penalty is no longer used.  Criminals convicted of capital crimes are sentenced to "Survival,"  where they are dropped off on a hostile planet and given a chance to survive.  Very few make it out alive, but escape means freedom and the fulfillment of their sentence.  

You Are Criminals...

Inspired by films such as Pitch Black and Predators, players will take on the role of convicted criminals that have to work together to escape a hostile environment.  

You Are Being Hunted...

Use the included tables to determine who or what is hunting your group in this hostile environment.  Inspired by familiar film creatures, aliens or monsters, these dangerous adversaries are constantly hunting your group down.  Fighting is foolish, so you must make your way to the extraction point.

You Can Work Together, Or Betray Each Other...

Players can roll together for actions and take the highest roll, but the highest roller can then choose to betray the others at the worst time for their own benefit.  Teamwork is tough when you can't trust that you all have each other's backs.  Will you work together to escape, or just try to get yourself out alive?
