From the introduction: October Rust is a game about one’s personal autumn in matters larger than life. Their last stand against a cruel and perilous world. Our adventurers aren’t here for loot-n-stuff, they’re fucked up protagonists whose spring has already passed (whatever that may mean). Folks who have been wronged, who dare the odds set against them. The game is not about progressing up, but about sacrificing your last resources to succeed once again. To make one last victory against an ungrateful world. To hit your last sting... It's a game for one-shots. It requires 3 hours and a heist or challenge – an ultimate attempt to defy and fix what's wrong. Intended for 3-5 players, including one game master.
