This is a character-driven grimdark space horror game based on the upcoming Grimmerspace setting with Lovecraft, Special Containment Procedures, and Ridley Scott flavors added in. Death is always at your heels, but being clever can go a long way... it can also kill you. C'est la vie. The encounters tend to be challenging and set in multi-faceted scenarios, where knowledge eventually leads to insanity. Use tactics, creativity, solid character builds, and alternate paths to make your way through.
The game includes plenty of atmosphere and roleplaying combined with crazy encounters and dice rolling. I try to make it a point to make all aspects of the game be reflected in play. I encourage roleplaying and character depth. The story interleaves multiple main threads along with character backgrounds. Optional play-by-post and flashbacks at almost every session add richness to characters and villains. Character death is a real possibility, so you need to be on your toes. It's not scary if mistakes don't have a real cost.
Magic is light. What is there has an occult flavor. You can play a magic user, but expect reactions similar to what you would get in the modern world. The overall setting is based on science vs magic theme, with the common population being on the side of science. The setting is also very human centric, with androids being the second most represented race and all others comprising single digits altogether. You can be any race aside from aberrations and undead. People will have likely heard of you, but you may get stares. There are no connection to Pact Worlds. This is a different galaxy called the Gliding Rim or G-rim Galaxy.
