Devlog: Events
Map events are "you against the world": escape danger, grab loot, make friends, and fight enemies.
Rest events only take place during the rest phase. They focus on the character's internal problems and relationships with the group.
[/olist] Often, you'll be presented with a choice. We try to avoid "right" or "wrong" answers, so different options have different outcomes and are better depending on the situation. Scare off the bandits and move on without a scratch. Fight the bandits and gain loot and experience, but be prepared for them to retaliate later. Many decisions require your characters to take a skill test. Sometimes one person is enough, sometimes the whole party has to make an effort. Skills range from athletic to persuasion and are appropriate for a variety of situations.
How can you improve your skills? Seek a challenge; step out of your comfort zone! Every time you fail a skill test, that skill increases! And if the test is difficult enough for the character, they will learn even after they succeed!
But wait! What if I told you that it's not always up to you to determine the outcome of the event? Your crew members are people with their own desires! A team member can approve of your decision or complain about it, and it will affect their morale. A character can bring their own solution to the table and expand their options. And sometimes a teammate takes over the event entirely and steers it in an unexpected direction, for better or worse.
This can happen because of his past, his personality, his relationships, his allies, or his items! This makes events highly replayable: Pick a different crew and see how it changes familiar situations! What about the consequences? Not only do you gain or lose Zincreds, rations, or equipment during these events, but there's more! Your characters will receive permanent changes in the form of traits. You will be given quests to complete! You'll make decisions that can bite you in the ass later or even change the finale of the game!
Good luck, and stay alert in the desert!

Hello, everyone! Time to tell you about the journey! Every time you pass through a location in Ragtag Crew, a text event will appear. In these events, you will face challenges, fight enemies, listen to crew banter, make decisions, and suffer the consequences. These text events come in two forms: [olist]

You will lead a squad of scavengers on a venture across the wasteland in pursuit of profit, food and all sorts of cool stuff! Each character has a unique combination of class and personality, which will provide an unrepeatable (literally!) adventure.
Combat action breaks by short ironic events, during which the traits of the heroes are revealed, and your choices determine your own history of the squad. The pool of events is large, and personalities and classes can drastically change the outcomes.
Your enemies will be strong but predictable. You need to explore their flaws and quickly adapt to different enemy compositions.
- Each run, choose 3 characters out of 8 classes (some unlockable). Experiment with synergies and party compositions to slay everyone in your way!
- Every character can choose a personality from the 7 available (some unlockable). These influence their dialogue, battle capabilities, relationships, morale, stats, and overall style — but most importantly, they can drastically change the course of events.
- The heart of the game lies in the tough tactical fights. The enemies are strong, but often have flaws to exploit. Adapt, improve, overcome!
- Slay bosses… or sneak past. These large and unique enemies come with their own mechanics and storylines. The rewards may be game-changing — but are you in a good enough condition to take them on? Sometimes it’s smarter to walk past a fight.
- As you progress through the game, more options become available.
- Every node on the map offers a text event. A smart choice can grant you loot, help two characters form a bond, or hint at the deeper truth behind the events. An unsuccessful one might end in a disaster.
- Over the course of an adventure the party members will grow to become friends… or bitter enemies. Nudge their stories to receive unique events and outcomes!
- From cute baby lizards to passionate fighter-pilgrims, all kinds of characters may aid you on your journey.
- A mixture of post-apoc, Westerns, and sci-fi creates a relatable yet original world. "Firefly meets Douglas Adams."
- Try again. Most bands of misfits fail — this is a roguelite, after all. But even failed runs bring progress in the form of unlockable classes, personalities, and items. You’ll be better equipped next time — and the game’s high variance offers high replayability.
