Hissing Darkness is a dark science fiction incursion for Trophy Gold, and guess what? It’s now live!
It made runner up in the recent Gauntlet run Trophy Gold Incursion Contest, and not to toot my own horn too much, but it’s pretty awesome.
Here's some nice things said about Hissing Darkness;
"I can't overstate how beautifully rendered this dark, science fiction setting is. The set pieces, the descriptions, the monsters, the environments—it all feels like an HR Giger painting come to life. It's vast and consuming and alien; it worms its way into you as you read it."
- Jason Cordova, Trophy publisher
But what’s it about? And what is Trophy Gold?
Trophy Gold is a rule-light (but tight rules) dark fantasy roleplaying game about horrible things happening to hubris filled treasure hunters. I decided, while that is pretty great on its own, what if it all happened aboard a supermassive spaceship engulfed by a malevolent darkness. You play a desperate Survivor trying to reach the Engine of the Ship before what little lights are left go out forever, and you are consumed by the absolute, perfect darkness.
It also features an amazing illustration by Madeleine Ember (you can see the whole picture on my twitter).
Check it out and get ready to die horribly in space.
