DULLED DEATHS - Playkit
A downloadable Tabletop RPG
THE WORLD IS DEEP AND DEATH IS DULLED
"In the known universe there exists a steadily expanding wall, blooming with lights, the sparks of advancing mechanisms. Planets floating free find themselves incorporated over a period of a few decades, gently swallowed, as if by a child trying to eat without their teeth. Time and Space as we understand them today are lost concepts. The Machine has eaten half of them, and inside its gut they churn into new shapes.
Nobody can really decide how to feel about it."
DULLED DEATHS is a TTRPG set within an incomprehensibly vast artificial space.
It is a system of immediate simplicity and modular complexity, wherein clever, poetic interpretation of your abilities can sit alongside resource management and diplomacy. It is a world of ever-expected, ever-surprising death, where THE DULLED - that's you - return to life, sometimes irrevocably altered.
It is funny and scary and odd, and hopefully, we'll be bringing you the full game ASAP.
In the meanwhile, we've rustled together a play kit, outlining the most basic rules and providing a brief sense of the setting, as well as Character Paradigms, hostile and horrifying Nemeses, and a smattering of transformative options in case you happen to die and rebirth whilst playing.
Feel free to Mix and match between Paradigms, interrogating your character's past, present & potential future with the "ROOT, STEM, BUD" system.
Play a depressed Dinosaur Postman why don't you: it's proven very popular in testing.
Adhere to or transcend, it's really up to you.
