About the game
LOCATION 39 is a narrative campaign for Zona Alfa - Salvage and Survival in the Exclusion Zone. Designed for solo or cooperative play, it incorporates rules and material from the independently produced supplement, Kontraband. You will need both books to run these missions as written. In this campaign, players control a four-person team of veteran Zone explorers who find evidence of a remote facility not found on any current map of the Exclusion Zone. The siren call of a hefty payday inevitably draws the team deep into the heart of the unknown, to a place marked with the cryptic notation Location 39. The Institute acknowledges your bravery in undertaking this dangerous venture into the heart of the Exclusion Zone. Good hunting, stalker. Five Missions + Maps, POI Cards, Stats for Zone Hostiles and Optional Pre-Generated Characters Use what you have. Play how you want. description from the publisher
