GUTTERPUNK

You’re not entirely sure how you got here - but magically and mystically you came to a world people call the Gutter.  At first glance you’d normally think this land was not too different from where you’re from with its roads, buildings, and industrial sprawl but this world is a twisted tale with its out-of-place denizens and the fact that the only “humans” are the punks of Earth who have also stumbled upon the Gutter.  The monsters don’t hide under the bed in this world and while you should be terrified, you’ve got the magic of the Riff and a stomp in your step that’s going to shake the foundations of The Gutter to its core!

Welcome to Gutterpunk - A tabletop roleplaying game that’s one-part isekai (traveling to a world to be a hero) and one-part Wonderland; all punk!  In this game a group of players come together to tell a story where one person becomes a storyteller (the Lead) and the rest of take on the personas of punks.  These Gutterpunks seek to live by their own rules and survive in a world where the common threats take on an even more sinister twist.

All the core mechanics and setting information is stored in this one book as well as observations and interviews with people who have been part of the punk movements, both new and old, spanning cultures from coast to coast in the United States including members of the TTRPG community.  As a Gutterpunk you'll:

  • Band together to survive with your fellow punks creating unique crews!

  • Tell tales of heroism in the face of overwhelming odds with the power of music and attitude!

  • Live a life of freedom in a music scene that blurs the line of art and action!

  • Facedown the ruling forces of the world in the many forms Authority may take!
