Vaultpocalypse Soon! isn't a freeform game. Instead, it's played using a Powered By the Apocalypse system called No Rest for the Wicked by Wrecking Ball Game Labs.

https://1d4cast.org/files/No_Rest.pdf

The basic mechanics of the game are simple. I will describe the world and situation to you, you will tell me what you want to do, and I will tell you what happens. To accomplish anything that has a chance for things to not go the way you want, you'll make a Move that instructs you to roll 2d6 plus a particular stat. A 6 or less is a Miss, and I get to make a Move of my own. A 7-9 is a Hit, and you get to make a choice. A 10 or higher is a Hit, and things go smoothly. Everything we do will start and end with the fiction, rather than the dice.

I don't roll dice unless I'm dealing damage to one of you, instead I simply react to your dice rolls and set up situations beyond that. It isn't as precise and strictly regulated as more tactical games, but this is also meant to produce a different sort of feel. If you're expecting five foot squares and counting corners to determine levels of cover, this isn't that game.

As GM, I have my Agenda, Principles and Moves that I'll be using to provide you a dangerous, exciting, and fun adventure, but at no point will I be your adversary. I play all the bad guys, but I'm not the bad guy myself. We're all players and we're all here to have a good time.

Below, you'll find the playbooks for the game in a form you can simply copy and paste into your Description and fill out. These are this game's character classes, and there can only be one of each in the setting, let alone among the party. Although there might be other "soldiers," you will be "The Soldier." There may be other "assassins," but you'll be "The Assassin." You are Vault Hunters, and you are a kind of special that people can notice. You're set apart from the rest of the world by your sheer badassery.

Oh, also we're going to say "badass" a lot. Just how it goes.

THE ASSASSIN
Lots of people die in the Borderlands, but your business is death. Soldiers and mercenaries spill blood for money, sure, but your work is much more direct and personal. Some people call that murder. You call it an art form.

Moves
You get this 1:
Deception: You create some kind of decoy or distraction that draws attention away from your killing blow. When you activate deception, roll+cool. On a 10+, you are noiseless death. Take +1 damage with any weapon you are using against your target until he or she is dead. On a 7-9, take +1 damage to rolls with any weapon you are using against your target until he or she is dead, but the GM holds one and can spend that hold for:
*Tales of your technique have spread, and one enemy in the future will see through your deception.
*You have less resources than you thought you prepared, and a future use of deception will not last as long as you planned.
On a miss, in addition to any other complications, if your enemy manages to survive the encounter with you (by escape or some other means), you cannot use deception against him or her again.

And 1 other, from your Advanced Moves.

Backstabber: While deception is active, when you use a +hand weapon, add another +1 damage.
Headshot: While deception is active, when you use a far weapon, add another +1 damage.
At One with the Gun: Your chosen weapon can never be taken from you. Even if you are separated by a GM move, your weapon will always return to you in some way.
Followthrough: When you kill an enemy with your chosen weapon, you may immediately move and go in swinging. Take +1forward to the melee damage roll.

True Vault Hunter Moves (Levels 6 through 10)
Many Must Fall: After you kill an enemy when deception is active, you may carry its effects forward against a second enemy without needing to roll.
Death Mark: While deception is active, roll your damage die twice and take the higher result.
Resurgence: When you kill someone, regain Health equal to the damage dealt on the killing blow.
Critical Ascension: When you go in swinging or exchange fire, and roll a 12+, hold 1. The holds are cumulative. You may spend these holds 1 for 1 for +1forward to attack or damage rolls. These go away at the end of the session.
Death Blossom: When you attack with your chosen weapon, on a hit, hold 1. You may spend this hold to add +area to any attack with your chosen weapon.

Class Mods
Killer: While this is your active Class Mod, add your Cool to damage rolls with your chosen weapon.
Ninja: While this is your active Class Mod, once a fight, you can declare that deception activates as if you’d rolled a 10+.
Sniper: While this is your active Class Mod, when you use a +far weapon and roll a 12+, roll the damage die twice and add the results together.

THE BERSERKER
Because keeping calm and carrying on is for people who aren’t badass enough to march right up to their enemies and punch them in the goddamn face. Lots of people out there use guns to get shit done, but you’ve got two fists and a score to settle and that’s more than enough.

Vice

Choose 1:
Anger: Flip your shit over nothing or for no reason at all.
The Good Stuff: Choose pleasure over business.
Violence: Go out of your way to start a fight or wreck some shit.

Drive
Like you, your reasons for becoming a Vault Hunter are direct, obvious, and/or mind-blowingly badass.
Choose 1:
A Challenge: You’re here to win all the fights. All of them. Find the biggest badass nearby and punch him or her until they die.
Cash and Loot: It doesn’t get more simple than this. You want the money and the guns and that’s that. Pursue a rumored treasure or legendary weapon.
Fame: What’s the point in doing badass things if nobody knows who you are? Do something to further your reputation.

Moves
You get this 1:
Berserk: When you berserk, your fists add your Hard to melee damage. Berserk lasts until all your enemies are dead, until you fight for your life, or until you choose to end it. When berserk ends, you heal a quarter of your Health, which may restore your health to full. If berserking ends before a fight is over, you cannot berserk again until a new fight starts. If berserking ends because you fight for your life, you do not get your Health back.

And 1 other, from your Advanced Moves.
Advanced Moves (levels 2 through 5)
Hardened: You get +1hard (hard+3)
Unbreakable: When you berserk, gain +1armor, which is cumulative with any other armor.
Iron Fist: Your melee damage die increases to 1d10.
Best Weapon Ever: When you berserk, your fists gain +corrosive, +burn, +EXPLOSIVE, +shock, or +slag. You may only apply one tag at a time, but you may change it every time you berserk.
Cast Iron: You always have 1-armor, even when you’re bare-ass naked. This stacks with any other source of armor.
Short Fuse: When you demand what you want, you can roll+hard instead of roll+hot, but only if you make demands with violence.

True Vault Hunter Moves (levels 6 through 10)
Endless Rage: When you fight for your life, this does not override the benefits of berserking.
Juggernaut: Once a fight, you may ignore all damage from a single attack or source (such as an explosion).
Pack Alpha: When you make a display of might before your enemies, roll+Hard. On a 10+, witnesses fighting against you change sides and fight for you. Keep the action, cash, and loot coming, and they’ll stick around for a few more fights, too. On a 7-9, some of them fight for you instead, but choose one:
1)The bravest and strongest don’t get resentful and focus their fire on you.
2)Your new gang sticks around after the fight.
Walking Disaster: your melee attacks gain +messy. When you destroy an inanimate object, you do so in an impressive and catastrophic manner, even (especially!) things that would be very unlikely, such as punching a hole through a concrete wall.
Blood Sport: (requires Iron Fist) Increase your melee damage die to 1d12.

Class Mods
Centurion: While this is your active Class Mod, any armor you have is not reduced by +corrosive damage.
Ogre: While this is your active Class Mod, you get +1 damage with any weapon with the +messy tag.
Titan: While this is your active Class Mod, add +4 to your total Health.
Warmonger: While this is your active Class Mod, when you aid an ally, on a hit, in addition to its usual benefits, your ally also holds 1. They may spend this hold to add +1 to any damage roll.

Putting the 'Us' in 'Team': You get a bonus +1 when you’ve got your back.

True Vault Hunter Moves (levels 6 through 10)
Come at Me, Bro!: When you shout a threat at your enemies, roll+hot. On a 10+, all of them drop what they’re doing and attack you. You also get +1armor, which is cumulative with any other armor. On a 7-9, as above, but no armor bonus.
Down, Not Out: Gunzerking does not end when you fight for your life.
No Kill like Overkill: When you roll the highest possible result on your damage die, you may reroll that die and add the result to your damage total.

Pride: Act on your own plans regardless of group consensus, or ignore good advice

Drive
Geez, people! Just ‘cuz you’re the greatest engineer that ever lived doesn’t mean you’ve never done anything immoral or shady. (Even if it was an accident!)
Choose 1:
Cash and Loot: Who doesn’t love more toys? Pursue a rumored treasure or legendary weapon.
Knowledge: KNOW ALL THE THINGS. Pursue the hidden lore of the Borderlands.
Pursuit: You swear was an accident! They don’t seem to care. Stay one step ahead of whoever is after you.

Moves
You start with these two:
Killer Robot: You’ve built a killer robot out of some old stuff you had laying
around. It’s pretty much the best thing ever.
It deals 1d8 damage, and has a shield rating equal to 10 (as a basic shield)+its
shields rating. Its health is equal to yours. When the robot reaches 0 health, it
retreats from battle to recover and cannot be called upon to do things for you
until the fight is over, at which point its health is fully restored.

Stats:
Choose 1 set:
Weapons+2 Systems+1 /1 Armor Shields+1
Weapons+2 Systems+2 /0 Armor Shields+1
Weapons+1 Systems+2 /1 Armor Shields+1
Weapons+3 Systems+1 /1 Armor Shields+0

You’ve outfitted your robot with the best gear possible. It has a number of special weapons equal to its Weapons: laser eye (+burn, close/far), wicked claws, chainsaw arm, drills (or other mining equipment) (+hand), tesla coils (+close, area), shoulder-mounted cannon (+close, EXPLOSIVE)

Your robot is meant to take out threats. It has a number of additionally programmed functions equal to its Systems: bodyguarding, crafting assistance, sentry mode, surveillance, opening doors (in the safe way)

Okay so maybe it’s not perfect, and maybe you had to rush a few details. Pick a weakness: missing a critical set of limbs, life-threateningly annoying, dangerously autonomous, painfully expensive, destructive

Mechromancy: When you make a move, you can command your robot instead. You may use your Stat or its, whichever is higher. You and the GM determine which stat is best for what you are trying to do. Nothing changes on a 10+. On a 7-9, in addition to any other choices,
choose 1:
1) Your robot does not cause collateral damage
2) Its weakness does not come to bear
3) No additional attention is drawn to you or your robot.

Advanced Moves (levels 2 through 5)
Anarchy: Whenever you make a move that requires a roll, you can opt to do so at -1 instead. If you manage a hit, hold 1. These holds are cumulative. At any time, you can blow your load to add as much of your hold as you like to add +1 (per spent hold) your robot’s or your damage. Use ‘em or lose ‘em, though. These reset at the start of every game session.
Best Friends Forever: Without needing to rely on your Mechromancy, your robot can
use got your back, and can roll+your cool or roll+Shields, whichever is higher. The robot gets +1 to this roll when trying to revive you.
Greatest. Engineer. Alive.: When you take time to repair something, you do it in
half the time it would require.
Little Big Trouble: When you exchange fire, you can roll+weird instead of roll+sharp.
Fancy Mathematics: When you recharge shields, add +1 to the roll. If you have taken any damage to your Health, take another +1.

History

On the others turns:
You think someone is a sick genius. Whatever they tell you, write History+2 instead.
Someone else refused to recognize how FREAKING BRILLIANT you are. Whatever they tell you, reduce it by -1. Jerk.

THE SIREN
Yours is power. Matter and energy leap at your command. Ordinary people revile or worship you. How you became a Siren is simple: you were born this way. Why, though, is a question that remains unanswered. It’s a hard and lonely life, but never a dull one.

Health: 12 Health

Vice
Despite what others might say, you think and feel (and misbehave) like any other human being.
Choose 1:
Anger: Suffer no offense and brook no insult.
The Good Stuff: Choose to indulge in mortal pleasure instead of something more “important.” (This should be something separate and different from the eridium junkie move.)
Pride: Act on your own plans regardless of group consensus, or ignore good advice.

Drive
You’ve come a long way.
Choose 1:
Knowledge: You’re one of the universe’s great mysteries; one that you wish to unravel. Pursue the hidden lore of the Borderlands.
Power: You were born to great power. Why not gain more of it? Do something to advance your personal influence or might.
Pursuit: There are those who would hunt you down. Some day, they’ll die for that. Stay one step ahead of whatever is after you.

Moves
You start with these two:
Utility Phase(verb): Pick a verb. Once you pick it, you can’t change it. It’s a
part of you: walk, lock, shift, soar, step, jump, burst, slide, charge.
Then choose 1, which also cannot be changed:
1) It alters your movement. You detail how, but it should relate to your chosen verb. (Example: Utility phasewalk lets you move really fast and pass unseen through solid objects.)
2) It alters someone else’s movement. You detail how, but it should relate to your chosen verb. (Example: Utility phaselock lets you freeze your victim in a bubble of suspension for a short period of time.)

Roll+weird. On a 10+, it works without complication.
On a 7-9, it works and choose 1:
1) There are no psychological side effects
2) There’s no collateral damage
3) You don’t draw unwanted attention to yourself.

Attack Phase(verb): When you would normally exchange fire or go in swinging, you can instead phase attack. Choose 1, which cannot be changed:
1) You release a blast of phase energy, which deals 1d6 damage +area, messy. You detail how, but it should relate to your chosen verb. (Example: Attack phasewalk sends out a shockwave that hits every unfortunate soul in the area.)
2) You hurl a blast of phase energy - 1d10 close/far. You detail how, but it should relate to your chosen verb. (Example: Attack phaselock deals sick damage to one poor bastard, vehicle, building, etc.)

Roll+weird. On a 10+, nothing changes. On a 7-9, instead choose 1:
1) You have to move to target your enemy, putting you in danger as described by the GM,
2) You didn’t channel energy as well as you’d thought, -1d4 damage
3) The coursing phase power within you surges beyond your control, take 1 damage directly to your Health.

Advanced Moves (levels 2 through 5)
Endless Power: You get +1weird (weird+3).
The Power of a Siren: When you exchange fire, you may roll+weird instead of roll+sharp.
Cataclysm: You may add an elemental tag of your choice to Attack phase(verb). Once you choose the tag, it persists for the duration of the fight.
One with the Universe: When you apply situational awareness or read a person, you can roll+weird instead of roll+sharp.
Eridium Junkie: You can absorb eridium to enhance your phase powers. (This stuff is the tits.) When you do a hit of the purple stuff, roll+weird. On a 10+, whatever phase(verb) option you didn’t choose becomes momentarily available to you.
The damage dealt by attack phase(verb) is also increased by +1. On a 7-9, you
gain the effects of a 10+, but choose 1:
1) You don’t suffer withdrawal
2) You still have some eridium left. Score!
3) There are no other side effects. On a miss, in addition to any GM complications, take -1ongoing until you get your next fix.
Fist of an Angry Goddess: Your melee damage die increases to 1d8.

True Vault Hunter Moves (levels 6 through 10)
Bringer of Ruin: Add +weird to all your damage rolls.
Elemental Avatar: Choose an elemental tag. This always applies to all of your attacks, even if made with an untyped weapon. You also get a kickass epithet of your choosing, like “The Firehawk” or “The Blight Phoenix.”
Power Aura: When you display your aura of Siren might, roll+weird. On a 10+, hold 3. On a 7-9, hold 1. You may spend your hold to:
*Subtract your weird from a damage roll.
*Deal 1d6 damage to everyone nearby, with the elemental tag of your choice.
*Send an enemy fleeing in terror.
You detail what your power aura looks like, though it commonly manifests as a pair of glowing wings. When you run out of hold, your aura stops manifesting.
Great and Terrible: When you reveal your Siren nature, you may demand one thing from any NPC that witnessed it: a favor, an item, refuge, etc. Roll+Hot. On a 10+, they give you what you ask for. On a 7-9, they give you what you ask for, but choose 1:
1) Another witness reacts poorly
2) Rumors of your demand spread wildly, take -1 the next time you are preceded by reputation
3) They ask something in return.
The Voice in Your Head: When you speak with someone, you may communicate telepathically so long as they remain within your line of sight. After you have communicated with someone in this manner once, you may do so again in the future regardless of the distance between you.

Class Mods
Catalyst: While this is your active class mod,when you roll damage against yourself, reduce any elemental damage by -2.
Nurse: While this is your active class mod, when you lay your hands on someone and channel healing energy, they heal 1d8 damage.

History
On your turn, decide if you keep your identity as a Siren a secret. If you do, tell everyone History-1, as there is much to hide. If you do not, tell everyone History-1 anyway; what people believe you can do often obscures real relationships.
On the other’s turns, pick two:
1) Someone loves you for who you really are. Whatever they tell you, write down History+3 instead.
2) You’ve been keeping tabs on someone. Your reasons are your own. Whatever they tell you, increase it by +1.
3) Someone you considered a friend actually mistrusts you because of what you are, and you found this out. Whatever they tell you, decrease it by -1.
4) You are suspicious of someone. Maybe they want to sell you out to the corporations because of what you are. Whatever they tell you, write down History-2 instead.

THE SOLDIER
War never changes. Someone will always need somebody else to fight for them. You were one of those people. Now you’re free of that obligation, but the fighting isn’t over. On your feet, there’s work to be done.

Name
Roland, Axton, Reiss, Graham, Geoff, Ash, Lawrence, Helena, Margaret, Elizabeth, Rachel, Kate, Christina, Jenna, Cap, Sarge, Major, Brass, Barrel

Cool+1 Hard+1 Hot=0 Sharp+2 Weird-1
Cool=0 Hard+2 Hot-1 Sharp+2 Weird-1

Health: 11+Hard
Melee damage die: 1d6

Vice
Okay, okay, so you aren’t exactly a paragon of virtue.
Ego: Brush others aside to make your own ideas be known.
Pride: Act on your own plans regardless of group consensus, or ignore good advice
Violence: Always shoot first.

Drive
Well, it sure isn’t grace that brought you safely thus far, and you have your
guesses that’s not what will lead you home.
Cash and Loot: Guns and money, get it? Pursue a rumored treasure or legendary weapon.
Power: Think of who you could lead and command with the riches of the Vault at your disposal! Do something to advance your personal influence or might.
Pursuit: Your former employer doesn’t like that you’re not working for them any more. Stay one step ahead of whoever is after you.

Moves
You start with these two:
The Ideal Partner: You start with your assigned Corporate-sponsored Remote Combative Instrument. This sucker has seen you through more scrapes than any of your former comrades. Until deployed, your Corporate-sponsored Remote Combative Instrument remains packaged in a compact carrying case that you have no trouble carrying around.
Choose which type (pick one):
Turret (1d10, 1-armor, 8 shield (1d4+4), Ammo 8)
Drone (1d10 0-armor, 12 shield (1d8+4), Ammo 8)
Sentry Gun (1d10 3-armor, 6 shield (1d4+2), Ammo 8)

Your Corporate-sponsored Remote Combative Instrument’s Health is equal to yours. When it runs out of ammo or Health, it collapses back into its packaging, and cannot be redeployed until your next fight.

One of the major gun manufacturers produced your instrument. Pick a corporation tag: Dahl, Hyperion, Maliwan, or Vladof. The instrument can spend an ammo to apply a special gun move, if applicable.

It’s not without its flaws, but, hell, what isn’t? Choose one drawback: costly, slow, damaged, obvious, stationary

Like Another Soldier on the Field: You may deploy your Corporate-sponsored Remote Combative Instrument anywhere within +close range. It acts when you do, but makes moves independently of you. It can make the moves exchange fire, provide covering fire, which use your stats, and recharge shields. It doesn’t go away when you fight for your life and its kills count towards getting a second wind. Shooting with the turret on your action doesn’t count towards the number of chances you have to get a second wind when when you fight for your life.

Advanced Moves (levels 2 through 5)
Cauterize: When you shoot an ally to heal them, roll your gun damage die. They
recover that much Health.
The Best Defense: Your instrument may now use the move got your back.
Duty Calls: When you use a gun that does not have an elemental tag, add +1 damage.
Pressure: When your shields reach 0, take +to attack rolls. In addition, increase the number of chances to get a kill while you fight for your life by 1.
Expertise: When you exchange fire, take +1 to the roll. This does not apply when
your instrument exchanges fire.
Aid Station: When you deploy your instrument, you and your allies heal 1d6 Health.

True Vault Hunter Moves (levels 6 through 10)
Rocket Pods: Increase your instrument’s damage die to 1d12. It also gains the +explosive elemental tag.
Gemini: Your instrument deploys a copy of itself, allowing you to use its moves twice when you act.
Phalanx Shield: When you or your allies stand near the instrument, any damage you or they would take is applied to the instrument’s shields first.
Master and Commander: When you aid or interfere, add or subtract your Sharp instead of +1 or -2.
Supply Drop: When you wrangle weirdness, you may use your former military connections to call for supplies. You may choose where or how the supplies are dropped, but otherwise roll+weird as normal.

Class Mods
Heavy Gunner: While this is your active class mod, when you roll damage for your instrument, roll the damage die twice and take the higher result.
Pointman: While this is your active class mod, increase your total Health by +4.
Rifleman: While this is your active class mod, when you use an assault rifle,
roll its damage die twice and take the higher result.
Tactician: While this is your active Class Mod, you may use Sharp instead of Hot
when you demand what you want.
