Overview
Summer vacation in Northsouth has erupted into full-blown chaos, and you're the new kid in town ready to make your mark. In Teenage Wasteland, players step into the shoes of a 'drifter' who possesses the unique ability to navigate and influence any social clique. Whether it's the nerds versus jocks, the LARPers with their foam swords, or the outcasts just trying to survive, your actions will directly shape the fate of the town and its inhabitants. This RPG emphasizes player choice and consequence, moving away from traditional stats in favor of a deep 'Trait' system.
