Palingenesis is a tabletop roleplaying game for 3-6 players. It’s set in a world permanently scarred by human impact, but with no humans to be found. Players control a party of evolved (and possibly anthropomorphized) animals, plants, and fungi.
Palingenesis is a game about exploring, resolving conflicts, and rebuilding. It’s a messy and dangerous game, but also a rewarding one.
Palingenesis is heavily inspired by the science fiction/fantasy films of the 1970s and 80s. Examples include Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind, Silent Running, Planet of The Apes, Fantastic Planet, Starchaser: The Legend of Orin, and Logan’s Run. It’s also inspired by the general post-apocalypse wackiness of games like Gamma World, Metamorphosis Alpha, Caves of Qud, and Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead.
