Zone Raiders: Deadly Skirmishes of the Post-Singularity

Zone Raiders is a fast-paced, tabletop miniatures skirmish game set in a post-singularity, sci-fi megastructure known as the Matroshka. The game focuses heavily on hyper-mobility, vertical environment interaction, and narrative campaign progression.

Core Gameplay Mechanics

Miniature Agnostic: Players can use any miniatures from any manufacturer to represent their custom team.
Extreme Mobility: Rules specifically accommodate high-flying movement like grappling hooks, wall-running, and leaping over massive drops.
Asymmetric Missions: Games focus on extracting resources, recovering datalore, and escaping rather than just wiping out the enemy.
The Lethal World: The environment itself is hostile, throwing radiation storms and automated defense machines at players.
Campaign Progression: Survivors gain experience, suffer lasting injuries, and unearth ancient artifacts over consecutive games.

Primary Factions

Zone Stalkers: Stealthy resource gatherers operating out of localized safe settlements.
Reclaimers: Highly organized military remnants aiming to research and conquer the Matroshka.
Technomads: Nomadic tribal human groups who have adapted heavily to surviving the dark zones.
Morlocks: Mutated sub-populations altered by the environment’s severe radiation and toxins.
Exanthropes: Cybernetic transhumanists who deliberately augment their bodies to evolve past humanity.

Game Formats

Player vs. Player (PvP): Standard tactical skirmishes between rival groups of survivors.
Solo / Cooperative (PvE): Dedicated scenarios where players work together against the AI-controlled security systems and mega-monsters of the Matroshka.
