Introduction

Let's discover Wychroot in less than five minutes.

Gritty Solarpunk Roleplaying​

Build Community​

Wychroot is, at it's core, a game about building community in the face of an exestensial threat. You are part of an enclave--a small community of people that live near each other, share resources, and work together to defend themselves and the enclave from a powerful adversary.

Make Cool Shit​

Characters in Wychroot are solarpunk maker-heroes, to contrast cyberpunk's hacker-heores (but don't worry there is plenty of hacking to be had!). There is a powerful and freeform crafting system to allow you to tinker with contracptions, experiment with concotions, and, yes: write your own custom hacking scripts.

Fight Fascists from Mars​

As you build community and create new gear, you will have to defend the enclave from the Dominion of Mars. Recently reappearing after a ~300+ year absence, the Dominon expected to find Earth void of human settlements--and ready for resource extration. Make them regret it.

Player Characters​

Pick from five community roles, giving you a set of talents related to how you support the enclave.

Archivists are explorers, scavengers, and educators that teach and find new opportunities in both the physical world and MESHnet.

Biotechs are medics, sawbones, and grinders that keep the enclave healthy, patched up, and enhanced.

Databenders are coders, hackers, and technomancers that keep the enclave safe from MESHnet glitches.

Sporetenders are farmers, engineers, and builders that keep the enclave's infrastructure and equipment running.

Storytellers are journalists, actors, and entertainers that keep the enclave's history, share news, and organize community events.
