SYSTEMS FROZEN

A one page system-agnostic horror TTRPG adventure from the Copper Compendium.

You are a group of researchers in a remote lab, high in the Alps. To those outside the lab, it is a simple weather station. To you, however, it is a place to research whatever the world governments might… disapprove of.

Among the projects in progress here is an experimental artificial intelligence, known to the researchers as S.A.M. You are woken in the dead of night to find a snowstorm hammering the station, the power on the fritz, and the chief researcher working on S.A.M, Mathias Fischer, missing.

In this oneshot players take the role of researchers and staff in an isolated alpine base, full of unethical research and experiments, where one such experiment has just gone badly wrong. With the power of the station low, and the weather outside deadly, it's up to you to kill the rogue AI before it kills you...

SYSTEMS FROZEN is designed to be compatible with your favourite TTRPG systems, focusing on scenarios and roleplay over mechanics. Included are 8 pre-generated character cards as well as the oneshot itself, presented in an easy-to-run one-page format. The characters provided are designed to match a modern or recent era, though many would fit in a range of time periods.

Character cards are provided both as individual cards and a ready-to-print sheet compiling all 8 cards on one page.
