RPG: Devil’s Run Promises Wasteland Wild Times
Devil’s Run is a new post-apocalyptic RPG from Modphius that is more Mad Max than Fallout. Get ready for high-octane adventure.
When it comes to the apocalypse, more often than not it’s best to be pre-, but if you can’t be pre-, then you’ll definitely want to be post-. Whatever you do, try not to end up mid-apocalypse, though if you’re reading these words in 2020, it might be too late to avoid being in the middle of it, so you may as well indulge in a little escapism and imagine that anything of humanity manages to make it past the next two decades as we take a look at Modiphius’ Devil’s Run.
Devil’s Run is a game that falls more on the Mad Max end of the post-apocalyptic spectrum, which runs from Canticle of Leibowitz to Mad Max with Fallout somewhere on that line. And with Devil’s Run focus on cars (see above), runs, guns, and gas, this is probably the best way to live out your Furiosa/Max fanfic you’ve been dreaming about all this time.
