October Rust is a tabletop roleplaying game about taking a personal fall for the greater cause, set in a fictional early modern setting. You play protagonists on a deadly heist who take a final stand, one last victory against an ungrateful world. October Rust lets you play through the heist and create your common cause.
It's a one-shot for 3-5 players (2-4 players and a game master). The one-shot session lasts around three hours. The adventure is made up just before the session, by answering five questions (Adventure List). Then you play to resolve your common Final Question.
