Echoes in the Void - Quickstart

Reality is Brittle. Don't Let it Shatter. Echoes in the Void is a rules-light, atmosphere-heavy TTRPG about survivors trapped in a space that is actively unmaking itself. This Zero-Level Quickstart provides everything you need to run your first session in a world where your own panic is the greatest threat.

The Core Mechanics

• The Attrition Engine: A streamlined D6 pool system where successes aren’t just about skill, but about how much of your sanity you’re willing to burn.

• The Breach: Track your descent from simple Stress to reality-warping hallucinations. When the Breach opens, the horror becomes personal.

What's inside the Quickstart?

• 5 Survivor Categories: Categories that hold distinct Archetypes (Specialists, Survivors, Pillars, The Damned, and The Opportunists) designed for instant pick-up-and-play.
• The Glass Reliquary Scenario: A vertical-slice mission featuring a room of fragile time-loops and unique narrative costs.
• Narrative Cost Menus: Tools for the GM to drive the psychological horror home without stopping for rules-checks.
