Get Behind the Wheel: 9th Level Games Announces ‘Thunder Road: Vendetta RPG’

The post-apocalyptic wasteland just got a whole lot bigger! 9th Level Games has officially revealed and put up for pre-order Thunder Road: Vendetta RPG, a new tabletop roleplaying game based on the hit board game from Restoration Games.

For fans of the high-octane vehicular combat of the original board game, this is the chance to dive deeper into the gritty, gas-guzzling world and forge your own legend. No longer are you just a commander of a crew; you are a driver, a survivor, and a racer.

What is Thunder Road: Vendetta RPG?

Thunder Road: Vendetta RPG is a new TTRPG that brings the over-the-top action and mayhem of the board game into a freeform roleplaying experience. Developed by the same team that worked on the board game, the RPG is designed to be fast, furious, and fun.

Here’s a look under the hood:

• Powered by Polymorph: The game uses the Polymorph system, a streamlined, dice-based ruleset that’s easy to learn. Each player chooses a single die (d4, d6, d8, or d10) to represent their character’s role. This die is the only one you’ll ever roll for actions, making for quick and cinematic resolution.
• You Are Your Car: In this game, your car isn’t just a vehicle; it’s a character in its own right. The type of vehicle you drive—be it a nimble Murderbike or a powerful Eliminator—determines your character’s abilities and role within the crew.
• Vehicular and On-Foot Action: While the game is a tribute to vehicular combat, it’s not all about driving. The ruleset includes mechanics for on-foot action and even for building and maintaining a settlement in the harsh wasteland.
• Integrate Your Board Game: A standout feature for fans is the ability to use components from the Thunder Road: Vendetta board game, like the modular road tiles and car miniatures, to enhance the RPG experience.

The Wasteland Awaits

The world of Thunder Road: Vendetta RPG is a wasteland where disputes are settled by slamming, shooting, and rolling your way to victory. Whether you’re a new player looking for an easy entry into the world of TTRPGs or a veteran who wants to bring the chaos of Thunder Road to a new format, this game has something for you.

Thunder Road: Vendetta RPG is now available for pre-order. Check with your local game store or the 9th Level Games website to reserve your copy and get ready to rule the road.
