Welcome to the Foundation

This is the home of Worlds in the Dark, a spacepunk Forged in the Dark game that tells stories about daring punks and scoundrels living in the cracks of an interstellar dystopian society. Your world is the one implied in the background of works like Alien and Blade Runner - retrofuturistic, rugged, industrial, and coarse. It’s a world strangled by corrupt governments and corporate feudalism; somewhere out there is the high-tech future you were all promised, but you and yours make do with creaking technology that has been patched and refitted beyond all recognition. It keeps working because it has to - because it’s all you have.

We play to find out if you and your comrades have what it takes to thrive on the fringes of a system that was not made for you, but which is happy to squeeze you to the very last drop.

Touchstones: Alien, Blade Runner, Dogs of War, Firefly, Hardspace: Shipbreaker, The Expanse, The Outer Worlds
