It is said that a few weeks ago someone reached the legendary Source in the ruins of the Chernobyl power plant. A metaphysical anomaly hidden in the heart of Zona itself, supposedly with the ability to reshape reality based on people’s wishes. Yet, Zona fulfills the wishes of scavengers in a perverse way. The rumor says that the Source distorted the will of its explorer and spit out new nightmares. The Source used a great portion of its power pushing away the threat of final emission for some time...

  • Persistence die - this new die has no negative modifiers, but it greatly increases your chances of gaining radiation or fatigue.

  • Companions - use unactive scavengers as useful help during your journey through Zona.
  • Tasks - new events, which will give you more unexpected encounters while exploring Zona.
  • Fortune cards - special cards, often gained after failing a test, allow you to turn things around when it matters most. Now you can balance your odds or optimize your actions.
