For those that don't know The End of the World is a series of RPG games that all use the same system from Fantasy Flight games. They all have different scenarios for the Apocalypse where the players play as themselves trying to survive an apocalyptic event. This was a Zombie Apocalypse but they also have Alien Invasion, Wrath of the Gods and Revolt of the Machines.
The system itself is easy, players create a pool of positive and negative dice when making a test. Any positive and negative dice with the same result cancel each other out and as long as one positive that is left is under the target number (determined by the players stats) they succeed. If any negative dice are left they player takes stress (damage) in the appropriate area, Physical, Mental or Social.
This is the story of how my players did on the open sea.
