PbtArmitage Files

Campaign Overview

This is the campaign Wiki for PbtArmitage Files, a runthrough of the unique and ever-changing Armitage Files campaign, using the Powered by the Apocalypse system for added player-facing agency and collaborative collaboration.

The Armitage Files is structured to allow almost all encounters, NPCs, locations, etc., to manifest as friendly, neutral or hostile. In each case, the fork decides the campaign. In most other systems, the choice is made by GM fiat. PbtA allows the players to determine which way each encounter and clue breaks, with their rolls.

Characters

The hapless Investigators drawn together to uncover the mystery behind the cryptic messages directed at Miskatonic University's Professor Armitage.

Campaign Development

The PbtA system dictates that a modified 2d6 roll, triggered by a player Move or a specific situation, can drive the action to an unqualified success or positive outcome (10+), a partial success with consequences (7-9), or an outright failure or negative result (6-). The Armitage Files also evolves along forking paths, some better, some indifferent, some very bad.

The campaign has no scripted direction or ending. It's up to the GM and also the players to decide what is going on, what the final solution to the mystery is, and how the awful events unfold. That means the more creative input from everyone, the better.
