Entrenched

Entrenched is a brutal body-horror tabletop RPG set in 1951, thirty-seven years after the Great War began. The nations of western Europe have calcified into authoritarian military coalitions that fight for inches across a landscape made from mud, ruins, machinery, and the repeatedly reconstructed dead.

The players are fresh recruits assigned to the 187th Sappers Regiment. They cross No-Man's-Land, discover and mark routes on a shared physical map, complete an impossible military objective, die, and return altered by donor flesh and memories that do not belong to them.

Death makes a sapper more capable. It also consumes Humanity. Battleborn bodies eventually become Burn-Listed, drawing specialist enemy sections whose orders are to pin the remains and erase every recoverable trace.
