Description

Space is a hell of a thing but you need to be sure that this is what you want. Like, what you really want. The idea of space exploration to further the frontiers of mankind is noble, but let's not kid ourselves - it's really all about furthering the profit margins. There's money to be made and out there is the place to make it, but you hear all kinds of stories… equipment malfunctions, strange discoveries, crewmembers going insane... You'll be out there in the reaches, alone, for months or years, breathing recycled air and drinking recycled water, with nothing but a few feet of metal and shielding between you and certain death.

Are you sure this is what you want?

- Crew Orientation Briefing

Those Dark Places is a rules-light, story-focused roleplaying game about the darker side of space exploration and the people who travel the stars in claustrophobic, dangerous conditions. Starships, stations, and outposts aren't havens of safety with clean, brightly lit corridors - they're potential deathtraps, funded by budget-conscious corporate interests and running on stale, recycled air and water. The stars may be the future of humanity, but they are also home to horrors and terror the human mind cannot comprehend.

How do rulebooks enhance the experience?

Rulebooks enhance the experience by providing structure, consistency, and depth to gameplay sessions. They establish the game's universe, define character abilities and limitations, and offer guidelines for storytelling and role-playing. Rulebooks also encourage creativity and strategic thinking among players.

What types of rulebooks are available?

Rulebooks vary based on the game system and genre. They can include core rulebooks that cover basic gameplay mechanics and setting details, supplemental rulebooks that introduce new rules or expand on specific aspects of the game, and adventure modules that provide pre-written scenarios for GMs and players.

Where can I buy rulebooks?

How do I choose the right rulebook?

Choosing the right rulebook depends on several factors such as your preferred game genre (fantasy, sci-fi, horror, etc.), complexity level, and storytelling style. Consider reading reviews, exploring sample pages, and discussing with fellow players to determine if the rulebook aligns with your gaming preferences and group dynamics.

Can rulebooks for different systems be used together?

Rulebooks for different systems are generally designed to be used independently due to variations in rules, settings, and gameplay mechanics. However, experienced game masters may adapt elements from one system to another with careful consideration and adjustments to maintain game balance and narrative coherence.
