Into the Dark

ADD TO WISHLIST >

The Solar System turned out to be a lot less friendly than we expected. Dreams of Martian canals and Venusian jungles died in the harsh light shone by Mariners and Veneras and Voyagers.

But what we did get was an array of worlds of awesome majesty, one that's enough to scare off 99% percent of would-be explorers—but not you. Using the Cepheus Engine core rules or other similar game systems, the Into the Dark setting book lets you play OSR SF adventures in the near-future of the Solar System as we understand it now.

Europa. Titan. Pluto, points beyond? They all will kill you if you make one mistake, and they won't even register that you're there when they do it. You're going to go anyway.

Look for more World Building Consortium products soon! Pre-made settings "with a difference" for OSR games of all types.

This is interesting. But I have a reservation. It mentions the Cepheus Engine core rules before talking about all the great osr stuff in the book. Id really like to see some of the mechanics. There are a lot of different osrs and Ive seem osr being tagged on something that wasnt anywhere close to old school. I dont know who tags what or such. Can I see maybe a sample stat block for a monster or something. With that... maybe along with a single class detailed out... Id know enough to take the plunge.

Thank you in advance and I look forward to youre response.

Hi Andy,

Sorry for not answering sooner -- I only just noticed your comment. Hopefully it's not too late for you. Cepheus Engine is PWYW, so you can download at no cost from Drive Thru RPG to check out:

https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/186894/Cepheus-Engine-System-Reference-Document

Let me know if there's anything else you'd like to see. There's no monsters or character classes in Into the Dark, so hopefully the Cepheus rules will include one of all you'd like to evaluate.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
