What is [DARK]

The [DARK] role-playing game is a set of rules with the goal of telling stories that feature horror, mystery, and deadly, frantic combat. These rules are setting agnostic and meant to be extended to fit whatever world you wish to tell these sorts of stories in.

[DARK] assumes lower powered characters than many other role-playing games might. The players control exceptional individuals, but they cannot survive being stabbed or shot that much more than your average human might.

[DARK] is about investigation into the hidden worlds that endanger us: secret cults, clandestine government experiments, and world ending prophesies. Can there be dungeons? Can there be dragons? Yes, to both, but [DARK] aspires to making getting to them at least as important to the experience as conquering them.
