This is a wiki for RATS — the role-playing game. The game isn't complete yet, but needs more updates in setting material. Still, you should feel free to check it out.
The setting is inspired by this poem that I wrote a long time ago called A Diary of the Lost. It more or less renders a main character called the King, who will eventually be found in the setting material. The atmosphere of the poem stuck with me for years and I at last decided to make something new with it. Thus, this game.
