I will still need the proactive engagement of all players to tell me if something bothers them, in turn, by joining the game you agree to not judge or disparage anyone over what makes them uncomfortable. Player consent and and triggers will be discussed prior to the game start. You are the last fading light against the night, not superheroes with swords and sorcery.Ĭontent: While obviously we will follow the PG13 rating of site, this game will contain aspects of horror and violence befitting the concept. Nonetheless, this is a serious game for those who like to be challenged and aren't scared of character death. Themes and Tone: It is very much my goal to recreate the feel of Darkest Dungeon, not the actual mechanics. They will be detailed below in their own section. System: D&D5e, with some significant house rules. This isn't an optimization challenge, but a fight against wicked opponents and vicious attrition that will only be overcome, temporarily, by teamwork, cunning, courage and luck. Lovecraftian horror, difficult decisions and brutal consequences will all be at play here. This time, you'll experience the grim world through the eyes of the ill-fated adventures who passed through the Hamlet. The Premise: This game will capture the spirit and setting of the iconic Darkest Dungeon video game. It is a festering abomination! I beg you, return home, claim your birthright, and deliver our family from the ravenous clutching shadows of the Darkest Dungeon. You remember our venerable house, opulent and imperial. Our every step unsettled the ancient earth but we were in a realm of death and madness! In the end, I alone fled laughing and wailing through those blackened arcades of antiquity. At last, in the salt-soaked crags beneath the lowest foundations we unearthed that damnable portal of antediluvian evil. With relic and ritual, I bent every effort towards the excavation and recovery of those long buried secrets, exhausting what remained of our family fortune on swarthy workmen and sturdy shovels.

Singular, unsettling tales suggested the mansion itself was a gateway to some fabulous and unnameable power. And yet, I began to tire of conventional extravagance.

I lived all my years in that ancient, rumor shadowed manor. Gazing proudly from its stoic perch above the moor.
