DC1 Dark Conspiracy, 1st edition rulebook

ADD TO WISHLIST >
Selected Option:

Shapes that rip and tear. Shadows that live in corners. Windows in space and time that lead to realms of madness and decay. A dark lurking horror that feeds off the echoing anguish of a billion tortured souls. This is the center of a twisted, sinister conspiracy which threatens the very existence of all humankind.

Set in the near future, the world of Dark Conspiracy is dramatically altered from today and is fraught with peril and challenges. The Metroplexes, where most of the world's population lives, are a blend of lawless gang turf and corporate fortresses ruled by men and women powerful enough to be above the law. The countryside is sparsely inhabited, its natives suspicious and violent. And increasing areas of countryside are turning into Demonground, from which few humans return.

When an ancient, brooding evil is released from its dimensional prison, humankind's worst nightmares come to life. What is the link between this sinister horror and the mysterious holes in the ozone layer, the rise of empathically aware humans, and the alien visitors from another star system?

For people curious about the print copy, it includes the rulebook only. The PC Booster Kit isn't bound into it or printed with it as a separate book.

The book contains both beasties and Dark Races, enough for quite a lot of play.

The files do not have readable content. Adobe Reader says the files are corrupt. Dropbox says the files do not have extensions to make readable.

Please Fix.

Is the PC booster packaged with the rulebook? Is this the only way to get the Booster kit on .PDF?

The PC Booster Kit PDF is included in the purchase of the digital file of the rulebook. As far as I know, this is the only way to purchase it as a PDF.

Will the print on demand book be updated to Standard Heavyweight in the future? I would pay a little extra to get the print version in slightly more durable paper.

I am interested to know what format the print version takes, since the PDF includes the PC Booster Kit. Is it bound in the back as an add on, or its own separate book? Also, is this based on a clean edition or a print version of a scan? Anyone who finds out please post, or anyone at GDW I would love to know this info before purchasing.

I have loved this game since I first picked it up, when it was first coming out. I had purchased everything for the game, and intend to purchase all of the 1st Edition stuff, again, followed up by anything I can find for 2nd Edition, and all of it, all editions, in the end. The really strange thing is that I am not a Horror genre fan, but the way this game tackles Horror, as a truly alternate aspect, is brilliant, so I can run this temporarily as a Horror game, but then bust it out as something more akin to Shadowrun and Millennium's End. Mr. Smith did an extraordinary job on this game, and there is little I have ever changed in the rules or setting whenever I've run this game in the past.

The novels, by Michael Stackpole, my favorite author of all time, build the setting for this game so brilliantly that, having read them, it was actually easier for me to picture the game, the setting, and to run it better as a result. Fantastic.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
