Space is a hell of a thing, but you need to be sure 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 what you want?

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.

Labor of love

Average rating of 4 out of 5 stars

This short rpg rule book provides simple rules and an easily customizable setting that will have you roleplaying in a lived in, dark futuristic setting in the vein of Alien or the like. It's most endearing quality is that it's clearly a labor of love by the writer and his passion makes the reading experience very enjoyable.

I love this easy system, Case base stats, nice and open no assumptions or pre made aliens makes it easy to what you want. I highly recommend this game. Plus the book size is super small so it can be a EDC throw in.
