"...When they catch you, they will kill you. But first they must catch you."

- Richard Adams, Watership Down

There are many creatures, humans included, that are bigger, stronger, meaner, or more numerous than rabbits. The seasons and the elements do not care that rabbits are only little things. Rabbits cannot hope to meet these threats head on. Only through speed, wits, and keeping a cool head can rabbits bypass the dangers of the outside world.

The Warren is a tabletop role-playing game about survival and community, where players take on the roles of intelligent rabbits trying to make the best of a world filled with hazards, predators and, worst of all, other rabbits. Taking inspiration from classic rabbit tales such as Watership Down, Fifteen Rabbits, and Peter Rabbit,
The Warren uses a heavily-modified version of the game mechanics from Vincent Baker’s "Apocalypse World" (aka "Powered by the Apocalypse", or PbtA). The system's tightly-focused set of core moves reflect the realities of rabbit life –rabbits don’t fight, but they are fast and clever. The rules allow for player-created custom moves, letting them find new, inventive solutions to problems.

Features:

• A modified version of Vincent Baker's "Powered by the Apocalypse" system using a shared pool of character moves, introducing a generational aspect of play, as rabbits are born and later lost or retired from the game.
