Chernobyl Mon Amour

Chernobyl Mon Amour is a freeform roleplaying game about love and radioactivity in the Chernobyl Zone of Alienation. You play an escaped convict who seeks to build a new life outside society in a radioactive wasteland. As you settle into the community of the Zone, you must juggle love and the attractive pull of the atom.

How does it feel to go on a date in the Helicopter Graveyard? What happens when you fall in love with one of the Deniers of the Atom, or a Strontium Wolf? When the time comes for you to prove that you're part of the Zone community, are you willing to step inside ruins of the reactor?

In style, Chernobyl Mon Amour is systemless. It's based on character based play and workshop techniques inspired by Nordic Larp, Vi Åker Jeep, the Fastaval tradition and American diceless games such as Amber.

The game's designer Juhana Pettersson has previously published Valley of Eternity, a roleplaying game about tragic penguin heroes. He was one of the writers of Vampire: the Masquerade 5th Edition. In larp, his best known games are the official Vampire larps End of the Line, Enlightenment in Blood and Parliament of Shadows. End of the Line was nominated for the Diana Jones Award.

You can buy a physical copy of the game from Drivethrurpg.
