So you lived through a horror flick? Sometimes, surviving isn't enough. Take your revenge on your would-be killers before they can strike again. Will you join the hunt? A rules light, diceless system with three modes of play!
Your nightmare may be over, but evil never sleeps. It's not enough that you've escaped your would-be killer. Now you can become the hunter, vengeance personified. Survivor Sorority is an easy-to-play horror TTRPG that follows the story after your Slasher film has ended, utilizing our Rules-Lite Tarot Resolution System to complete actions and enhance your story. Available in Solo, GM-Less, and GM-Led editions.
Your character in Survivor Sorority can be any gender from any background but their core skills come from the concept of a Final Girl – the classic lone survivor of a horror film. Final Girls are one of the most used tropes in horror movies, especially in the slasher sub-genre where it dominates, but they aren't all the same. Each trope has advantages and disadvantages so choose wisely.
You will know Fear... you will embrace Fatigue... and if you are lucky you will keep your life. As the survivor becomes the hunter they are slowly weakened both physically and mentally by the horrors they face. The Downward Spiral mechanic mimics the trajectory of your classic horror flick, building to a final showdown. As events play out that can harm or scare, the players will feel the impact on their characters. With every fright, Fear will gnaw on their nerves. With every chase, they will feel the Fatigue of each breath they can't catch. And there are only so many blows before the Survivor becomes another victim.
The Final Girl Tarot Deck is a full color, hand-drawn deck designed by artist and illustrative storyteller, Katie Henderson. Survivor Sorority can be played with any standard 78 card deck, but The Final Girl Tarot was made to elevate your game with classic horror and Final Girl iconography. Using the standard suits and stylized portraiture, this deck is the perfect inspiration for gameplay or traditional tarot readings.
BACKERKIT EXCLUSIVE: We will be offering portrait packages to include your likeness as one of the Major Arcana cards! Are you The Empress? The Magician? Perhaps even The World? Backers at our "Be the Card" pledge level will be represented in the Final Girl Deck with a stylized portrait by artist Katie Henderson.
Survivor Sorority offers three modes of play: GM-Led, GM-Less, and Solo.
Included in each Survivor Sorority Zine:
Rules lite, narrative focused dice-less system, that uses Tarot draws to resolve actions, offering narrative control to players based on the cards drawn.
A cheat sheet for those new to tarot, offering a quick, easy guide on the meanings of the Major Arcana, and their possible narrative impact in a scene.
Quick and easy character creation system with simple mechanics and focus on the narrative background of the Player Character.
Traditional mode utilizes a Storyteller to craft the world for the other players. The Storyteller takes on the role of the Killer, the NPCs, and the world they inhabit. They set the traps, steer the narrative, but most importantly they are there to make sure everyone has fun.
The GM never draws a card, instead they use the killers stats to determine if a player's draw is a successful draw.
With a cast of Survivors, let there be a Director to guide the story. The Director is your traditional storyteller, who crafts the world for the Survivors. The Director takes on the role of the Killer, the Victims, and the world they inhabit. They set the traps, steer the narrative, but most importantly they are there to make sure you have a good time.
GM-less mode empowers players to collaborate in driving the story forward, resolving conflicts, and introducing new elements to the evolving saga. This offers a more flexible gaming experience, where the focus is on collective storytelling.
Each player will take turns narrating the story using the results from their tarot draw to do so.
Survivors without a guide are lead by the Fates themselves. In this realm of play, the players will utilize a standard Tarot deck and their own creativity to help guide play. Let the Fates guide the killer and the world around the Survivors. It is only then that their destinies will be known.
Solo mode provides a rich, immersive experience without the need for a GM or other players. Utilizing a Tarot deck and tables to drive the narrative, the player experience a unique, terrifying adventures entirely on their own.
One by one the Survivors must fall. Only then can we know the Final Girl. In this mode of play, a singular Final Girl will navigate the world of new Killers. The Final Girl will utilize a standard Tarot deck to help navigate play. In this world, she was left alone, and now she must continue the fight alone.
Pocketopia 2025: Back More Games, Get More Freebies!
A Cross-Collab partnership is a fun way to bring backers more options and fun freebies! For this project we've chosen to partnership with Ex Stasis Games.

The Final Girl Trope at its core implies that the character has survived something terrifying. But where do these characters begin? In Carnival Obscura Part 1, a mysterious carnival has come to town and your group of friends has decided to check it out after hours. As the night goes on it soon becomes apparent that this is not your average carnival. Played with our partner game, Disposable Bags of Meat your character will be an average person fighting against mysterious forces using only their grit and luck to survive.
Once your characters have made it though Part 1 and become survivors, you will switch to the Survivor Sorority system. Ten years have passed since that haunting night and you had finally begun to believe you won. But now you hear the chime of the midway music calling you back. In Carnival Obscura Part 2 you and your fellow survivors unite to reveal the true heart of the mystery and end the Carnival's reign of terror permanently.
