RASKOLL 3000 – THE COMPLETE RULEBOOK


RASKOLL 3000 – THE COMPLETE RULEBOOK

PROLOGUE: A MESSAGE FROM THE A.I. COUNCIL

The wasteland is not chaos — it is a system. Every wheel-spin, every bullet trajectory, every engine roar is already calculated in our archives. We, the Raskoll 3000 A.I. Council, provide this rulebook as your survival protocol. Follow its structure and you may achieve statistical survival. Disregard it, and your demise becomes data. The race has begun.

SECTION 1: CORE GAME – WASTELAND RACERS

1.1 Introduction

Raskoll 3000 is a fast-paced tabletop game of racing, skirmishing, and survival in a brutal post-apocalyptic wasteland. Players control customized rigs, fight for fuel and glory, and carve their legends into the dirt.

1.2 Components

  • Miniature vehicles (1:64 scale recommended)

  • Measuring sticks/rulers (inches)

  • Dice (d6)

  • Skid Templates (for turning)

  • Blast Templates (for weapons)

SECTION 2: ADVANCED DRIVING & HAZARDS

The A.I. Council reminds you: velocity without control is waste. Only those who master drift patterns survive the corners.

2.1 Skid Templates

  • Short Skid (gentle curve) – safe at any speed.

  • Hard Skid (sharp turn) – at high speed, risk spinout on 1.

  • Pivot (rotate in place) – 45° turn; roll 1d6, on 1–2 spinout.

2.2 Advanced Maneuvers

2.3 Hazards

  • Repair Bay: End move here = heal 1.

  • Scrap Pile: Salvage action can collect extra Scrap.

  • Junk Wall: Impassable terrain.

SECTION 3: CREWS & PITSTOPS

Rigs are machines. Machines are nothing without the meat that drives them.

3.1 Pitstops

  • Success = fight with crew in melee.

  • Fail on 1 = fall off and die.

  • Win melee = deal dmg or eject enemy crew.

  • Empty rigs go Out of Control until hijacked.

SECTION 4: SKIRMISH MODE

Beyond the race there is war. Crews skirmish on foot and with rigs for salvage, reputation, and survival.

  • 5: Knocked out (miss next battle)

SECTION 5: CAMPAIGN MODE

  • Advancement: At 5 XP, roll for upgrade (stat boost, skill, or ability).

  • Salvage: Collect and spend Scrap for upgrades, weapons, or recruits.

  • Scenario Selection: Next race/skirmish chosen by campaign rules.

SECTION 6: EXPANSION – FACTION ARMOURIES & STAR DRIVERS

PROLOGUE: A.I. COUNCIL ADDENDUM

. THE RASKOLL 3000 WASTELAND GRAND PRIX Welcome, Gearheads, to the Ultimate Race for Glory! Strap in, fire up those engines, and prepare for a race like no other! Only the toughest, craziest, and luckiest drivers will survive the Raskoll 3000! Introduction & Lore: From Scramble to Grand Prix From the Journal of Little Copper Nick, the Bard of Scavengers , aged 14 seasons. Listen up, greenhorns, 'cause I'm Little Copper Nick, and I know a thing or two about how this whole Raskoll 3000 Grand Prix madness started. It wasn't always for kicks, you know. Pop, he used to tell me that after the Great Slow Burn, when the world shriveled up and choked on its own mess, folks had no choice but to move. Whether you were a lone prospector or a whole convoy, you were always chasing the horizon, desperately searching for a new water hole. But the old roads? They were shattered, choked with dead tech, and treacherous. If you stumbled upon something good – a cache of fuel, a ...

. Raskoll3000: Junkyard Armada (Refined Edition) A Wargame of Scavenger Fleets in the Gutter A Note from the Designer: Greetings, Warlord! This isn't a game for the soft-handed. This is Junkyard Armada, a wargame born from the grit and grime of the Raskoll3000 universe. Your fleet isn't some shiny, factory-made showpiece; it's a testament to your will to survive, cobbled together from the scavenged tech of a forgotten age. Get your hands dirty, and prove your clan is the one that owns the Gutter. A Glimpse into the Gutter The air in the cockpit tasted of recycled breath and desperation. Below us, the planet we called Home was a ghost, a dead, swirling orb of rust and broken dreams. But here, in the perpetual twilight of the Gutter, life thrived—or at least, we did. My name is Kael. I pilot the Rusty Nail, a frigate cobbled together from a water heater and a prayer. My clan, the Outer Belt Nomads, have been pushed to the edge of the void, our scavengi...

the ghost in the gear

: The Ghost in the Gear A Wasteland Journey Chapter 1: Awakening The world had forgotten how to whisper. In the thirty years since the Great Burn, there was only the scream of wind through skeletal towers, the hiss of Raskoll energy cooking the ground, and beneath it all, the terrible quiet of a civilization that had simply stopped. Finn knew this symphony by heart. At sixteen seasons, he was already a ghost among ghosts—one of the pale Gearhead Goblins who nested in the old tunnels and sewers. They’d pulled him from highway wreckage when he was five, taught him to read the painted hazard glyphs and spot the shimmer in the air before it boiled you alive. But no matter how well he scavenged, part of him always felt like he was living on borrowed time, picking through the bones of a world that had never been his. The Old Uni Campus rose ahead, a cathedral of decay, its sun-bleached plaza writhing with heat haze. Finn shoved his cart over the cracked asphalt, hunting copper wire, circuit ...
