Description:

Somewhere in the galaxy... the stars are always right!

This 19 page sourcebook shows you how to inject some horror into your favorite sci-fi game, or use your favorite horror game for a sci-fi one-shot. Drawing on source material from Aliens to Lovecraft, it details four archetypal Alien Threats, a trio of Outer Gods, and a ready-to-run scenario called "Project Carcosa."

Also featured is a new game mechanic for getting your players to inflict horror upon themselves! It's designed as an add-on to any game system, but can also be used as a stand-alone, rules-lite RPG.

Whether you're looking for a last minute Halloween game, a convention one-shot, or a new kind of horror RPG for jaded veterans, Dark Stars is always right!
