Description

An independent system game for five players by Charles Dunne
The Apocalypse came and went. And they never noticed. Byron said it best in “Darkness”, how does it go?

The waves were dead; the tides were in their grave,
The moon, their mistress, had expir’d before;
The winds were wither’d in the stagnant air,
And the clouds perish’d; Darkness had no need
Of aid from them—She was the Universe.

Of course we hid inside, bodiless and with the void beckoning we had no choice, they hunt us still. But now, now there is a chance, even if we fail there is a chance we may see the face of God again. So we don our leathers and ride out with smiles like scars.
A game of rain swept redemption concerning choices made that may yet be unmade, demons that must be opposed and loves lost to the black. Once we were angels, now it’s done.

Played at

Itzacon XI (2015)
