R.Talsorian Games Goes Back in Time with Fossilized Violence

R.Talsorian Games, the team behind Cyberpunk RED and the Witcher TTRPG, announced that Fossilized Violence, its TTRPG about prehistoric times, is available in physical and digital format.

FV was designed by James Hutt and tells the story of four cave civilizations who are working together to survive a world of dinosaurs and predators. Players will have to work together to survive in Pangeon and survive the wide bestiary of beasties out to eat you. And a lot of these dinosaurs are evolving and getting stronger, turning them into an equally lethal threat.

The game is built on similar rules as Cyberpunk RED and The Witcher, with a heavy emphasis on high odds of getting injured and killed during events.

You can buy a digital or physical copy on the R.Talsorian Games website now.
