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.
