More about DARK PLACES & DEMOGORGONS

Following in the tradition of SURVIVE THIS!! Zombies! comes SURVIVE THIS!! Dark Places & Demogorgons, a tabletop roleplaying game that uses the Original 1970s Fantasy Roleplaying game rules but mutates it into this retro nightmare. It’s sleek, slender and creepy as Hell.

 

In Dark Places & Demogorgons, you play as high school students during the early 1980s. The town you live in has had a rash of disappearances and strange happenings. The adults seem lost as what to do, the police are as clueless as ever and aren’t helping and Reverend Phillips is on another witch-hunt. It’s up to you and your friends to figure out what’s going on and stop it from happening again!

ROTC Cadet lists a prerequisite being Survival 8. Am I reading that correctly?

Thanks for the reply. I managed to get Survival mixed up with another rule in my head somehow and things went off the rails for a brief moment. The lesson here is to not drink gin while trying to learn a new game. heh

This is very tempting. Would it be hard to play adults?

It's actually quite easy. Just ignore the age rules and high school info and you should be good to go. I know of one group that uses it to run an X-files game and another uses it to run Scooby-Doo. But incase you're new, just to let you know, this is a sourcebook here. You'd need a copy of the Dark Places & Demogorgons Core Rule book to play.

Hope this help!

Thank you! Yeah I posted here thinking the sourcebook might give more options. A bit more research, but I suspect I’ll grab the bundle tomorrow!

I can't seem to find the expanded XP tables outlining the XP or RP Hours needed to reach both levels 6 and 7 in this book... am I missing something or are they in a different book?

Yikes! It's not in there. wow. Okay, I'll provide the info to you hear and add an errata sheet to download.

Xp and leveling up
In the original fantasy RPG, Experience Points or XP was awarded for slaying a monster and gathering treasure. DP&D uses a leveling system that takes the focus off of combat and rewards Characters for in 5 different ways: Session Survival, Encounter XP, Exceptional Roleplaying, Discretionary and Hero XP.

Session Survival, is the first way earn XP. 1 XP is given simply for completing or “Surviving” an entire gaming session. Even if your Character does not get much accomplished during the gaming session, this XP is still earned.

Encounter XP can be earned up to 3 times in one gaming session. 1 Encounter XP is earned by being involved in a combat scenario. If there are 3 separate combat scenarios in one gaming session, then 3 XP is earned. If there are 5 separate combat scenarios, still only 3 XP is earned as that is the max....See more

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.
