The sky is black as night, a tectonic rumbling can be heard overhead; the ruins sprawl out with a fractal madness, their shapes incoherent and puzzling; a vast sea of colorless sand stretches out into the darkness, broken only by the titanic pillars that disappear impossibly into the lightless sky.
This is The Vast, a liminal realm hidden far away from our own. Always waning and on the verge of collapse, it is host to countless lost souls and alien treasures hidden within its crumbling ruins.
The Vast in the Dark is an exploration setting that takes place in a crumbling alien wasteland filled with brutalist mega-structure ruins. It includes tools for generating massive areas to explore as well as unique player options and gameplay changes to keep the focus on player choice and ingenuity over dice-rolling and chance.
You are a Traveler, one of the unlucky few who, through action or accident, has found their way into The Vast. Quickly adapting to life among the wastes and ruins, with only your wits and memories to keep you sane. For now, you are not alone; banding together with other Travelers to shoulder the hardships, pool resources, and work together to survive this crumbling purgatory.
I'm looking for 4-5 players to experience a science-fantasy hexcrawl where you will explore the weird setting of the Vast. It is a place of no sunlight, giant megastructures of unknown origin, and alien landscapes. I will be using the rules-lite OSR system Knave 1e with a few alterations from the Vast in the Dark setting book. I'd like to keep this an ongoing campaign, but the hexcrawl nature means people can drop in and out as they like between delves. Looking to start the game this weekend if there's enough interest. If you would like to join, leave a comment below!
