Corrosion
Corrosion is a role-playing game of technological monstrosities. Machines stir from quiescence, propelled by evil. They stalk, terrorize and exterminate humans. Your characters are their human victims ? and whether they run, hide, or fight back, they will come to realize what the machines MEAN
Characters
Before creating your own character, talk to the other players about how all the characters will be connected. Why are they facing the same horror? Are they friends or family members? Do they live or work in the same building? Have they come together by chance (guests in a motel, strangers on a train)? Are they far-flung but linked by communication or shared interests? Once you agree on a context, each player can come up with a character concept, and flesh it out with a few biographical details: name, age, gender, job, etc. Players should also write down one thing that your character is especially afraid of and one common fear that doesn?t affect the character as much as it does most people.
Corrosion is set by default in the present, though you can play in any society that is being impacted by technological change. The moderator should pick specific locations that provide opportunities for interesting and scary scenes. As an example, for a two player game the players choose to be a young couple on their honeymoon in Hawaii. The wife will be particularly afraid of heights but about drowning since she is a strong swimmer. The husband will fearful of insects but fine with the dark.
Next, create a portrait of your character (either a head shot or a full length portrayal) by drawing a portrait on a piece of paper, cutting a picture out of a magazine, printing a image from the internet, or reproducing a picture from a book. If you have the materials, glue the picture to piece of cardboard or manila folder so that the pieces will be easier to handle.
