WHAT IS PARATYPE?
Paratype is a post apocalyptic role-playing game taking place in
a world filled with giant mutant insects and humans able to gain
weird and wacky bug modifications to survive an ever changing world.
Stack skills and modifications to build unique characters in this
D20 based game!
For our module, take on a new challenge of not only facing the
end of the world but the dangers of the interstate highway as you
traverse your way all the way from Maine to Florida. Take advantage
of new skills, modifications and a new category of character: Clones
in this adventure! Choose your destination between cities along the
way each with its own encounters, trades, friends and enemies to be found.
Paratype is currently 54 pages, with the new content being
added page estimates are closer to 70-100 pages.

The Module
What is it?
In Paratype I-95 take on a new challenge of not only facing the end of the world but the dangers of the interstate highway as you traverse your way all the way from Maine to Florida. Take advantage of new skills, modifications and a new category of character: Clones in this adventure! Choose your destination between cities along the way each with its own encounters, trades, friends and enemies to be found.
Each state along the road will allow for choices, making any
play through of the module unique. These individual encounters can be
taken and used as one-shots or as a full campaign.
Take on various challenges from warring settlements to the ethics of robotics or strange meteorites falling from the sky. Learn how the world ended, and maybe even how to fix it on your way. Featuring real landmarks to check out during your next road trip across America, Paratype I-95 is a more survival and exploration based take on the game.
