What is this

Apocalypse Express is a tabletop RPG campaign built on a D&D 5e (2014) foundation with its own rule systems layered on top. Players begin as dead souls in the Null Meridian, board the infernal Red Line, sign Lucifer's contract in the Sundown Saloon, and wake in a broken Earth trapped inside a paused double apocalypse.
