Checkpoint Roslov: Welcome to Sovstrania
Checkpoint Roslov is a darkly comedic border control RPG set in Sovstrania, a decaying fictional communist republic ruled by the women-led regime of President Svetlana Dobrev, the "Mother of Order." You play as the newly appointed officer in charge of a shabby but important border checkpoint near the industrial city of Novobreznik. Each day brings new Ministry directives, suspicious travelers, forged papers, hidden contraband, bribes, arrests, inspections, and difficult choices. Check documents, question travelers, search vehicles, confiscate goods, manage prisoners, handle dangerous transports, and decide who may enter Sovstrania. The world focuses on grounded RPG systems: skills, resources, equipment, corruption, fatigue, stress, reputation, Ministry suspicion, daily rules, flexible traveler encounters, and consequences that can return later. The tone mixes bleak dystopian bureaucracy with absurd humor, petty corruption, propaganda, and the strange comfort of surviving another shift. Designed primarily for singleplayer, though multiplayer can work if players want to share command of the checkpoint or divide roles among officers. --- This is my first Voyage world. Feedback, balance notes, and suggestions in the comments are very welcome and will help improve future versions of Checkpoint Roslov.
