Ultraviolence Radiation

Ultraviolence Radiation (UVR) is an experiment in action.

Deflect bullets with a knife!

Grab a guy and use him as a weapon against another guy!

Take a smoke break in the middle of a hail of gunfire!

Get your revenge and look cool doing it

Featuring 100 enemies with unique Intros, Attacks and special things they do when they die! 28 Abilities to make the action hero you want to play! A rule set which takes inspiration from Beat-Em-Up arcade games and applied them to the Tabletop genre.

This game was born of the question: "Can you make a tabletop game where one player gets to be like John Wick?"

The answer of course is that no one could stop me. Not even me. This was a daunting task though and I wasn't sure if I was up to it. So I combined my three favorite things to ultimately produce the game on this page.

1. Coffee in nearly unhealthy amounts.

2. The power of friendship and begging people for enemy ideas.

3. Money which I forced into the hands of an artist I trusted to bring my wild ideas to life.

The trick of course is to flip the typical tabletop game dynamic. Instead of having several players to one Game Master who is in charge of the enemies, you simply flip this dynamic around.

Ultraviolence Radiation is, as stated before, an experiment. Expect this to play differently from other tabletop games you have experience with. This is not to be read as a bragging point, simply to set expectations.

To play this game you will need between 3 and 9 human people. The recommended number though is 5 or 6.

You will also need a bunch of regular ol' six-sided dice, a few sets of Percentile Dice (two dice with numbers 0-9 and/or a die set dedicated to percentages), or some virtual dice. Helpful play tools may be some coins, poker chips or something with a nice, clicky dial to keep track of "cooldowns". You'll find out about those in the book though.

Everything else you need is included below.

The Ultraviolence Radiation book contains all the rules. The Main Character sheet is the character sheet for this game and is for exactly one player per game. The Just The Enemies PDF is perfect for handing out to everyone who will not be using the Main Character sheet, but only after reading the pages relevant to them in the main book. It is not required, but is provided as a smaller file size for older PCS or use on mobile devices.

My personal recommendation is to print out the Main Character sheet and play the game with from friend in person, but the game was designed with the expectation that most people would play digitally.
