Mutant: Year Zero campaign notes

A post-apocalyptic game where mutated survivors explore the ruins of civilization while trying to build a future that is only slightly awful.

RealmBinder turns your table's rough notes or recordings into a shared record of the campaign: session recaps, characters, places and quests. Set the campaign to Mutant: Year Zero and it knows the kind of story you are telling.

2 Mutant: Year Zero campaign frames

Choose a frame when you set up the campaign, or keep just the system. The frame picks the covers you start from, sets the look of the art, and tells RealmBinder the setting when it tidies your notes.

What changes in a Mutant: Year Zero campaign

Notes that keep the right tone

When RealmBinder rewrites a session or the Chronicler asks you about one, it is told what a Mutant: Year Zero story sounds like. It uses that for tone only: what your table wrote down always wins.

Tone
Harsh, desperate, but not hopeless.
Focus
Survival, scavenging, community-building, and dangerous discovery.

Beside your other tools

Characters in the game's own words

Player character profiles ask for a archetype, species and background, the terms Mutant: Year Zero players already use.
