The viral art project, which blew up on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/FleshPitNationalPark\/\">Reddit<\/a> during the COVID-19 pandemic-era lockdowns, is finally being turned into <a href=\"https:\/\/mysteryfleshpitrpg.backerkit.com\/hosted_preorders\">a tabletop role-playing game<\/a>. Polygon sat down with the creators to learn more.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">As it turns out, Flesh Pit is largely Texas\u2019 fault.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/cinch-up-your-waders-mystery-flesh-pit-national-park-is-open-for-business-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"\" data-portal-copyright=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">\u201cI am from West Texas,\u201d admitted its creator, Trevor Roberts, in a recent interview with Polygon. \u201c[Specifically a place where it\u2019s] very rural, very sparse, [with residential areas] mixed with the oil industry and fracking activity.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Coming from such a large, flat, mixed-use area where the community was very concerned about all things under the ground, the idea for Flesh Pit came somewhat\u2026 organically.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">\u201cI was getting my lunch together [in the break room at work, and] I was looking at this horrible little grapefruit thing beginning to rot,\u201d Roberts said. Like any normal person, he whipped out his phone to capture the moment. \u201cI was like, <em>Man, what if you were that tiny and were standing on the edge of this thing and it was like a big crater? [What if the Grand Canyon] was all pulpy and nasty?<\/em> So I took a little low-angle picture [&#8230;], popped back to my desk, opened up Photoshop, and started messing around with it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Of course, Roberts is not just an artist. A trained aerospace engineer, he\u2019s worked at both the Johnson Space Center in Texas and the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. That\u2019s where he developed a taste for art and design, which he went back to school for before ending up in the break room of an architectural firm astride a calcified citrus fruit. So what happened inside his copy of Photoshop was, in all actuality, remarkable and unique. Once it hit Reddit, things really began to take off. Before long he\u2019d developed lore and a backstory centered around the Permian Basin Super Organism (PBSO), a colossal creature whose gummy gubbins make for harrowing hikes literally into the bowels of the Earth.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/cinch-up-your-waders-mystery-flesh-pit-national-park-is-open-for-business-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"\" data-portal-copyright=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">\u201cA lot of the fans of the Flesh Pit [&#8230;] had been asking about [a game of some kind],\u201d Roberts said. There had been some fan-made modules for Dungeons &amp; Dragons and other systems, but he simply didn\u2019t have the expertise to take them any further. That\u2019s when he was approached by Christopher Robin Negelein.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">\u201cI feel really privileged,\u201d Negelein told Polygon. That\u2019s because Roberts basically handed over everything he had created so far, and then gave the game designer permission to pile even more content on top of it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">\u201cWhy Chris convinced me was he had a very realistic approach to it,\u201d Roberts said. \u201c\u2018It&#8217;s going to take this much, it&#8217;s going to take at least a year to do this. Let&#8217;s set up a Kickstarter, and here&#8217;s the budget, and here&#8217;s this.\u2019 His thoroughness in detail really convinced me, like, <em>OK, he knows what he&#8217;s doing. He&#8217;s delivered projects.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">The projects that Roberts is referring to? Only a few hundred thousand words for Monte Cook Games\u2019 wildly popular <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/tabletop-games\/23745368\/how-to-play-cypher-system-dnd-alternative-monte-cook\">Cypher System<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Negelein recalled how over decades of work as a journalist, marketer, and nurse he had been trying to break into fiction writing. He finally got his big break thanks to a mentor, author Adam-Troy Castro, who connected him with the team behind Esper Genesis, a science fiction setting designed to be compatible with Dungeons &amp; Dragons\u2019 popular 5th edition. That eventually turned into a long-term gig with Monte Cook Games.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/cinch-up-your-waders-mystery-flesh-pit-national-park-is-open-for-business-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"\" data-portal-copyright=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">\u201cThey did their own community content program,\u201d Negelein said, \u201cand at one point [&#8230;] 50% of it was my output. [&#8230;] That got me enough of a recognition with Monte Cook Games that when they decided they were going to do their own version of an open license, they got ahold of me two to three months early before the public release.\u201d The Kickstarter campaign for the Flesh Pit RPG launched not long after, resulting in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/projects\/ganzagaming\/the-mystery-flesh-pit-national-park-rpg\">a successful crowdfunding campaign<\/a> and the final retail product \u2014 which will be available for purchase beginning this month.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\"><em>Mystery Flesh Pit National Park: The RPG<\/em> is a lavishly illustrated 190-page game book available through DriveThruRPG containing all the rules you need to play the full game. The joy begins with character creation, where players choose a \u201ctype\u201d to serve as the core of their PC. They might choose to be a security agent hired by the Department of the Interior to intervene when something unusual happens underground. Players could also become an engineer, one of the many full-time employees and contractors who work at the park. There are park guides, of course, but also \u201cmarketeers\u201d who work closely across the organization to \u201ccontrol the public\u2019s perception\u201d of the Flesh Pit. Finally, there\u2019s the Men in Black, secret agents who work behind the scenes to ensure the public never finds out the sinister forces truly pulling the strings in the background.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/cinch-up-your-waders-mystery-flesh-pit-national-park-is-open-for-business-4.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"\" data-portal-copyright=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">In this way, Negelein explained, game masters merely have to create an otherworldly event that occurs at the Mystery Flesh Pit National Park. Then the players at the table can create characters to deal with that event from any perspective they prefer. They could be trying to prevent the event from happening, or simply trying to conceal the event from prying eyes. The event could be happening to them in real time, or they could be sent down below to deal with the gruesome aftermath. Whatever path they choose, the asymmetrical tools inherent to the Cypher System will be there to guide them on their journey.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Roberts, for his part, just seems elated to finally see his internet-based artistic side project becoming a game that people can experience in the real world.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">\u201cI think Chris has done a fantastic job of riding that very kind of thin line,\u201d Roberts said. \u201cIt&#8217;s horror, and it&#8217;s scary, and dangerous, and thrilling. But also, there&#8217;s a lot of on-the-nose ridiculousness to it. This is an absurd, silly kind of setting, and so it&#8217;s fun to see people engage with those two kinds of sides of it.\u201d <\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Mystery Flesh Pit National Park: The RPG<em> is available starting today on DriveThruRPG, with physical versions ranging from $38.95 to $58.95 and digital versions for $16.95.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/gaming\/500155\/mystery-flesh-pit-national-park-rpg-tabletop-cypher-system\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The National Park Service, tasked with protecting America\u2019s most important ecological treasures, like the Grand Canyon, Crater Lake, and several hundred linear feet of stainless steel-reinforced Mississippi River shoreline, has an even more unusual plot of land to maintain beginning in 2025.
