What it is about
The World Above has been ruined by the Dark War. Humanity has passed. The surface is a bleak and blasted wasteland. Our only hope is to descend. You are a dark diver, kin of an underearth tribe that must descend to gather artifacts from the Depths. Divers are at the bottom of the societal ladder. They are glorified prisoners, dishonorable fools, failed heroes and desperate daredevils, all equally capable and willing to throw their life away for the sake of riches. Dark Dive is a subterranean fantasy survival horror RPG. It uses a 3d6 system. You can play solo or cooperatively. The goal is to dive down into a cave system, get loot and survive. This is a playtest! I'm gathering interest and feedback, so please leave any comments, suggestions and play experiences. You can download the .pdf or use these google docs... Dark Dive - Clean -- same as the .pdf but shareable Dark Dive - Comment -- leave comments on the rulebook Diver Sheet -- fillable but not editable Cave Sheet -- not necessary, use any paper you want
