Here is a link to the story material that gives you a basic idea of the world:
Basically one or more players (as I can get a group together or not) will awaken in a dark world with nothing but a lantern to light their way and perhaps a sharp piece of chipped stone. Death will be quick and ever-present, but on the off chance a player/party DO succeed in slaying monsters, they can craft equipment from the corpses -- Bones, claws, hides, teeth, sinews -- to make crude (and eventually better) materials to survive in the dark world... perhaps even start a settlement.
The darkness awaits, and only your lantern and a sharp rock beckon you onwards to a gristly death or victory in the dark.
Are you brave enough to try to survive?
Even if character mortality is a big thing in the game -- don't despair! A heroes equipment and perks/skills will be passed down each generation/character allowing for progression and development even in the face of death.
This game will use a free-form dice system of my own devising that is pretty quick to get a hold of, or at least get along with. I've already run one successful campaign to completion (3 months 18 days) on RPN and it worked out very well.
I will play this game on the forums and/or on discord -- with info tracking on RPN and hopefully some real time adventuring on Discord but if not regular forum roleplaying by post. Just putting a line out to see who if anyone is interested for now... but will try to get the ball rolling quickly!
