A world with a story.
Every season brings a storyline to discover. A changing world, unexpected encounters, and events leave their mark on the places—and people—you know.

These aren’t
the end times.
It’s a new
beginning.
A world that’s fallen apart.
A story that’s yours to tell.

Survival is only
half the story.
Society has crumbled. The streets belong to the dead. But out here, there’s still something worth finding.
Wasteland is a Project Zomboid roleplaying community built around the people who inhabit it. In-character conversation happens through text. The people you meet, the choices you make, and the stories you share give survival its meaning.
Step into our worldWhat makes us
Wasteland.
Not just somewhere to survive.
Somewhere to belong.
Every encounter matters.
A tense conversation. An unlikely ally. The loss of a familiar face. Player conflict carries weight, and a shared set of rules gives those stories room to unfold.
Know the rules
Made by the community.
Staff-led stories are only the beginning. Festivals, trials, quiet evenings, and player-made events turn a place to survive into a place people call home.
Meet the characters
Built for the Wasteland.
Custom locations, equipment, and mechanics help set the scene. Bring a character with a past, a reason to keep going, and enough space for this world to change them.
Find your way in
A world is made
of its people.
Someone opens a bar. Someone builds a refuge. Someone leaves a story behind.
