Welcome to Bunker Radio! The original apocalypse survival tabletop roleplaying game (with special rules written special for play on amateur radio).

What's a Role Playing Game?

If you've never played a role playing game before, you're in for a real treat. In a role playing game, you play the part of a character. This character is described with various attributes and statistics. They interact with the world using their skills, ingenuity, and objects they find, just like you would in the real world. In video games, all of these interactions are refereed by the computer, and so a limited number of options are available to you, as dictated by the programmers. Tabletop role playing games by contrast, offer nearly unlimited possibilities because the referee is a person. When the referee is another player, any non-player character can be spoken to, any object interacted with, any option explored.

Now, we bring that tabletop experience to the world of amateur radio.
