There's another world hidden behind this one. It looks just like our world - has the same streets, buildings, parks, and forests. It has the same bored and jaded pedestrians drifting through the work week. But this other world, the world down the rabbit hole, is constantly in danger. Zombies crawl up from the graveyards to feast on the flesh of the living. Deep beneath the earth, the King of the Mole People plots his conquest of the surface world. An Artificial Intelligence emerged from the helical tangles of the Internet, and she's declared war on us. Space aliens watch us silently from above.
This is the world of the Rabbit Hole. It's not Wonderland, but it's a very strange and dangerous place which exists behind the places we know. Any park, any street corner, any place where you and your friends gather could exist on the other side of the Rabbit Hole.
You and your friends will explore, build, and possibly conquer the world beneath the Rabbit Hole. The adventures you have in your town will influence ongoing storylines.
Intro
Flipside is a live 24/7 gaming system which can be used to run different types of live scenarios and adventures. Players transform familiar hangout spaces (like parks and restaurants) into several types of game zones (like arenas and feast halls). "Go flipside", and get buffed up by visiting the local coffee shop. Then head down to the park and defend your neighborhood from zombies, space aliens, and mole people.
Flipside is organized via a social networking site. Your profile is your "character sheet". Use the site to coordinate events for your local gaming community. Several plotline-based adventure scripts are available for download. Depending on the type of venue, combat might be resolved with live boffer action or and turn-based combat involving real space.
For each scenario, there are a number of "character class sheets" available for download (single page PDF). Each character class has its own character sheet with the game's rules on one side, and a character building flowchart or checklist on the reverse. Before you play, you just print out a character sheet, check off a number of skills, and read any scenario specific rules. You may have access to a bonus sheet based on available facilities.
Acquire resources by creating content for your friends. Spend resources to build imaginary facilities like secret labs and arcane libraries, earning access to elite class skills. When your group runs an adventure, the outcome may influence ongoing global storylines (For example, every time you complete one of the zombie adventures, it adds to the global zombie bodycount. New plot developments are posted as the community achieves a higher bodycount).
