Thrive to Survive

English
Apocalyptic
Thrive to Survive is a tabletop RPG ruleset for a modern day zombie apocalypse. Launched on Kickstarter in 2025, with decades in development this system gives rules both to make one of a kind custom survivors as unique as the player. And intense apocalypse campaigns and encounters for the game master. Combat The combat system for Thrive to Survive is based on the chaos of combat and how enemies react to each other while fighting rather than simple attacks and health pools. As characters get stronger they are able to use more combat maneuvers that manipulate how strikes land in combat and what they do to their enemy, after all in the end you have to destroy the head! While at some points you may want to build a wall to keep out the dead, other times you may need to break one down to escape a situation. Thrive to Survive gives rules for handling buildings, obstacles and construction so that every player can interact with the world how they see fit. Part of what makes a zombie apocalypse game so enticing is the realism of how a person would deal with an apocalypse. Keeping a fine balance of simple rules and realism allows for an easygoing and exciting adventure. Attributes There are an infinite number of ways someone can survive the zombie apocalypse. While the most common thoughts about surviving are how can you kill the most undead as possible, you have to think of thriving as well. From farming for your own food, Creating tools and equipment to help others, Medical knowledge to keep people alive, and even computer skills to access old data or create something new! To capture this the character creation gives you access to skills across the board, abilities your survivor possesses, and other features to make your survivor unique. Each survivor builds from the ground up by picking skills, talents, attributes, disabilities, features, and equipment. These sections are all connected in creating the gameplay of each survivor. Skills While there are a plethora of skills, most of them can be broken into a couple groups, Combat skills that determine your attacks such as the blade skill. Action skills that let you attempt something beyond the mundane such as acrobatics, and Crafting. Crafting allows you to design, build, repair and upgrade any item in Thrive to Survive. The more complex an item is the more time, material and skill is needed to create it. If you want to stick some nails through a baseball bat to cause some extra mayhem, you’ll need some training in weapons crafting. But if you want to hand craft a new design for a 50 caliber machine gun, you’re going to need some specialized skill and a lot of time. Crafting skills also build on each other, meaning that like in the string map shown here you have to have some skill in the previous crafting level in order to get the next. For example to become skilled in crafting explosives you will need a few levels of engineering first.

Actual Play
No Lime Light Productions is a YouTube channel dedicated to content surrounding Prosperon: A Bio-Cyberpunk RPG, an independent tabletop role-playing game created by No Lime Productions. The channel serves as the primary hub for official game media, instructional content, and ongoing playtest material. The channel features a variety of content formats, including how-to guides, lore breakdowns, and an extended playtest podcast. These videos are designed to support players, introduce newcomers to the game’s mechanics, and expand on the worldbuilding present in the core rulebook. Lore and Voice Work A notable component of the channel is its series of lore videos. These episodes adapt narrative material from the Prosperon core rulebook and present it in a dramatized format. Voice performances for these videos are produced using ElevenLabs, a subscription-based service that compensates voice actors for the use of their vocal profiles. This approach adds additional atmosphere and characterization to the game’s setting. Playtest Campaign No Lime Light Productions also features a long-running “solo couples” playtest campaign. The series follows the game’s creators through their sessions, capturing the story as it unfolds, the emotional moments that come with it, and the ways they push and test the Prosper system. Over time, the campaign has become a defining part of the channel, giving viewers a clear sense of the game’s tone and how it plays at the table.
