Night Drifters: Second Stage

Night Drifters: Second Stage is a roleplaying game about teen drama and street racing. Iterating and expanding on the original micro-RPG Night Drifters, Second Stage has tuned its speed and handling to perfection. Whether you're running a one-shot showdown or longform story, expect tension, heartbreak, and burning rubber.

Burn with love, fear, and fury from the beginning, then watch the fire build. Character creation ties your characters' lives into knots, and Buildup Scenes bring the drama to a fever pitch - just in time for the race.

Rules based on blackjack mean you can learn & play in the same night. Optional rules for GMless play means everyone can get out on the track.

Night Drifters brings four premade settings, including the far-future tournament Absolute Zero & cartoony Til Death Do Us Kart. Each setting starter includes inspiration for locations, NPCs, race hazards, and (most importantly) soundtrack touchstones.

When the rubber hits the road, what will you put on the line?
