Odd Soot

Science Fiction Mystery in the 1920s

Humanity has reached the stars

An alien plague without a cure threatens civilisation

Only a few tragic heroes can save mankind

Odd Soot is a roleplaying game of mystery and investigation set on an alternate Earth in the 1920s. Mankind has travelled into space and found alien civilisations. But a disease called The Soot spreads, driving those infected into madness. And they follow a twisted logic, wreaking havoc around them.  

With Odd Soot you can tell stories you have never heard before.

You play deep, personal characters with impressive talents and tragic backgrounds. The setting is strangely familiar – combining alien worlds with 1920s tropes – full of mysteries and unsolved enigmas. 

Odd Soot is a complete roleplaying game based on Mythras. No other books are needed to play.

'Oh, shit. Haven't read it from A to Z, but I think I'm in love. Looks really neat!’
Nils Hintze (Tales From The Loop)

‘The world of Odd Soot is the sinister offspring of HG Wells and HP Lovecraft. […] The eponymous Soot is what sets the game apart. It is all-pervasive, reacting to violence and infecting those who enact it, inexorably dragging those infected into madness.’
Joseph R
