Concept: On the Pages
  • A brief history – How The Six set out on a pilgrimage to the Primordial Mausoleum of THEY, in the year zer0.

  • The Endings – Fatuma’s prophecies of how the universe will demise with rules on how these Torments will occur in gameplay.

This includes 8 character classes like the MAnchiNe, Emo|Bot, and The Harvester. It also has charts for Irritating Idiosyncrasies, Misspent Youth, and Battle Scars to really give your character that extra level of filth. 
  • Tributes – 20 pieces of technomagic that when used improperly can implode causing Cataclysmic Condemnations. 
  • Pharmaceuticals – Because those who can’t physically escape often find other means.
  • Würms – 6 different würms to get infected by, wreaking havoc on your body and mind. Each includes a Parasitic Pain and Parasitic Pleasure chart to roll randomly on each day until you either die or the würm tires of your meat suit.

  • Quick Rules – All you need to dive in and start playing.

  • An Introductory Adventure – Death Aboard the Conundrum, a broken-down science ship is believed to have a piece needed to build The Gate of Infinite Stars.
