The Hive Unbound RPG

A grim, post-apocalyptic setting with elements of survival horror and techno-thriller intrigue. The tone is tense, with moments of eerie quiet punctuated by frantic action.

The year is 2142, after decades of unchecked biotech research and climate upheavals that led to the creation of the sentient virus, Evolvium. Civilization is on the brink, with scattered remnants of humanity struggling to survive.

• The Hive: Infected humans controlled by Evolvium, displaying terrifying coordination and evolving strategies.
• The Aegis Coalition: A militaristic group of survivors dedicated to eradicating the infected but with authoritarian tendencies.
• The Seekers: Rogue scientists and engineers hoping to understand and neutralize the virus through research, sometimes conducting unethical experiments.
• The Free Remnants: Scattered survivor communities just trying to live another day, often caught between the larger groups.

• Survivors must battle against Evolvium’s growing control over the environment, including infiltrated wildlife and even machines.
• Ideological clashes between the Aegis Coalition’s strict control and the Seekers’ radical science.
• The Hive’s relentless pursuit of new hosts creates tension between helping outsiders and protecting community safety.
