INTO THE DARK

 

INTO THE DARK is a science-fiction role-playing game inspired by books like Richard Morgan's Altered Carbon, Iain M. Bank's Culture Cycle, or Peter F. Hamilton's Commonwealth Saga.

At 66 pages, it allows you to explore complex science-fiction settings with a rules-lite 2D6-based system (the GM doesn't roll the dice, focus on the setting, not the rules!).

Inside the book you'll find character creation rules, equipment, antagonists and plenty of advice to let you create and run your own sci-fi campaign. Additional rules cover space battles, vehicles, mechas and psi powers. All this is done in a short and synthetic way, run the game, not the numbers.

INTO THE DARK focuses on change. How does a specific change affect Humanity and therefore the characters. The book gives you advice to define what that change is and how to build your game sessions around it.

CURSED!

 

Cursed! is a horror roleplaying game based on Ben Milton's Knave.

Cursed! is meant to help referees run any horror adventures they find as long as the protagonists are humans facing unnatural horrors.

What kind of horror? Cosmic horror? Vampire hunting? Alien invasion? You should be able to do it all: The rules are designed for a modern setting (late 19th century monster hunting to contemporary survival horror). It comes with dangerous and draining spells and  customisable monsters.

No classes and no levels: characters can get better but you'll see no hit points bloat here, even on the monsters side, keeping encounters tense and deadly for the unwary.

Horror made easy: short and easy guidelines, never be afraid to run a horror game again!

EXTINCTION

https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/294116/Extinction

EXCTINCTION is a stand alone RPG of Sci-Fi survival horror made with the BLACK HACK, inspired by movies like Alien, Outland and Event horizon.

Players can choose a character class, from Corporate drone to Medic or Deck officer (8 classes in total), read a 1 page summary of the setting, pick a rules cheat sheet and start to play right away.
 GMs will find an introductory adventure, Breathing Day, so they can start running the game on the same day they bought the book!

Keeping with BLACK HACK traditions, EXTINCTION is loaded with tools: create NPCs, colonies, space stations, alien ruins, find what's wrong with a corporation or the next target of a fringe group... It's a big universe and xenomorphs are not the only danger players will face.

 

RATS IN THE WALLS

https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/246243/Rats-in-the-Walls

Rats in the Walls is a roleplaying game of cosmic horror, inspired by the writings of H.P Lovecraft (but it doesn't use HPL's Mythos).

The game system is inspired by classics like Advanced Fighting Fantasy, Traveller and more recent titles like Maze Rats or Into the Odd. It uses 2D6 and only the players roll the dice so the GM can focus on the players' choices.

The system is aimed at long-term play but works very well with one-shots as well.

The default setting are the roaring 20's but an appendix allows you to create medieval characters.
So grab a character sheet, 2D6, pick a profession and a reputation and go fight the Old Ones or die screaming.



A SOCIETY OF UNLIKELY GENTLEMEN

https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/227140/A-Society-of-Unlikely-Gentlemen-Quickstart?

1895. Five years ago, the city of Atlantis rose from the depths of the ocean. At the same time, several portals appeared on Earth and allowed safe passage to Venus and Mars. Within the next year Atlantis opened diplomatic relations with almost every nation on Earth. Railways were built to allow travel to Mars and Venus through the Atlantean portals. Scientific marvels pop-up everywhere, four-armed martian ambassadors walk the streets of London while Venusian amazons guide big game hunters through the jungles of their planet. Empires still scheme and fight among themselves, looking for new technologies to gain the advantage over their rivals.

You will play adventurers and explorers, always looking for new scientific discoveries, uncharted territories or lost treasure, to quench their thirst of knowledge, fortune and fame. Just bring 2D6 per player and you are ready to go !

Entries are due by the end of the Halloween weekend. I'm happy to say I won the contest with this entry, heavily inspired by John Carpenter's Escape from New York and David Cronenberg's Scanners.
