White Sands TTRPG

The year is 2045. Clean air is no longer a right—it’s a luxury.

In White Sands, the wealthy breathe freely from towering megascrapers while the world below lives with toxic, contaminated air. The MegaCorps control access to clean air, but nature has offered something unexpected: a spark of hope.

And the Breathless are ready to protect it.

White Sands is a rules-lite, narrative-driven TTRPG for two or more players. You’ll play everyday people who have become activists, working together to challenge the corporations that control the air and reclaim something that should belong to everyone.

Your characters aren't distant heroes arriving to save the world. They're people living in it—making choices about survival, resistance, community, and what they're willing to risk for change.

Created by the maker of Be Like a Crow, White Sands balances its dystopian setting with something essential to its story: hope that the future isn't settled yet.

Why We Love It

The stakes are immediately understandable. Who gets to breathe clean air—and who gets to control it—is a simple premise with enormous consequences.

The heroes are ordinary people. White Sands centers people choosing to act together rather than waiting for someone more powerful to solve the problem.

Rules stay out of the story's way. Its lighter system leaves room for character choices, relationships, and the consequences of resistance to take center stage.

It's dystopian without surrendering to hopelessness. The world is in trouble, but the game begins from the premise that people can still do something about it.
