We’re thrilled to share some big news today: the brand-new, all-in-one website for 7th Extinction RPG is now live!

This platform will be your go-to destination for official updates, in-depth information, and an evolving set of resources to help you explore and survive this post-apocalyptic world. Whether you’re a seasoned player, a curious newcomer, or a GM planning your next gaming session, the new site is built to serve all your 7th Extinction needs.

Why a System Reference Document (SRD) and Not a Book—Yet?

You might be wondering, “Why launch the rules through an SRD and not just publish a book?” The short answer: we want you to start playing right now while we keep perfecting our final rulebook!

Immediate Access: By releasing the rules through our SRD, we give everyone interested an easy and immediate way to dive into the 7th Extinction universe. You can learn the mechanics, test out character builds, and explore the setting without waiting for a physical or digital book release.

Rapid Feedback Loop: With the SRD online, we can make quick updates based on your invaluable feedback. If we spot a confusing rule or see a great suggestion from the community, we can fix or refine it on the fly—no need for you to re-download a massive PDF or wait for errata. Think of it as the game’s very own living, breathing rule document.

Optimized for Every Device: The SRD is specifically designed for both desktop and mobile viewing, so you can reference critical rules on your phone at the gaming table—or even on the bus—without squinting at a cramped PDF. We’ve also built a robust search feature so you can find exactly what you need in seconds.

Is There Going to Be a Book?

Absolutely! We are already hard at work on the official 7th Extinction RPG book. Not only that, but we’re honored to have the legendary John Zeleznik (known for his iconic work on Shadowrun, Palladium/Rifts, Magic: The Gathering, and more https://www.johnzeleznikart.com/) creating our cover art. He’s bringing his unique vision and dynamic style to the project, and we can’t wait to share the final piece with you all.

The book will collect all the polished rules, illustrations, and expanded lore in one place, perfect for those of you who love flipping through pages at the table or showing off a gorgeous tome on your gaming shelf. The digital version of the book is planned for October 2025 during PAX Australia.
