DARKDATA, A Surreal-ish Horror TTRPG!

(Already made a post like this, but it got eaten. Hopefully that doesn't happen again.)

Hi! I'm currently working on my horror Forged In the Dark game DARKDATA! I'm the only person working in it, and all the "art" you see related to it is made by me, including the logo and character sheets!

It's still the demo phase and being worked on every day. It would mean a lot to me if you could take a look, if you think it's something you would be interested in.

I plan to post more here on Tumblr as I work. I'll only really post on Itch.io to update the game.

Thanks for reading.

DARKDATA!!!

Alright, it has been 7 months, time to make a callout for any indie ttrpg creators that wants more attention and spotlight on their creations!

Whoever wants to get their stuff promoted, post it below, I might even make a review video on it!

All (not) finalized playbooks for the complete version of DARKDATA, for the playbook lovers. (I've updated them since posting this.)

Uh oh

I messed up. Turns out the next update of DARKDATA is not the final version because, I, uh, completely forgot to include a mechanic.

The new final version of the demo is Beta 1.5. The full version will still be 7 USD.

Because I was still working in everything else before I noticed the mistake, this update also has more content for the Lorebook and NPC files.

Still free!

DARKDATA Demo Complete!

The last version of the demo is done! Now I can start working on the full release.

The demo is still free, by the way.

Check out DARKDATA here:

DARKDATA: Meet The Flâneur

Un morceau important de la ville.

Remember how I said I was going to post more here? I know the most interesting part of a forged in the dark game for me is the playbooks, so I'm making a series showcasing all the playbooks in DARKDATA!

Starting Command: GOTO

The Flâneur is the only playbook in the game with a staring Command in the Force attribute. This is because it fulfills the archetypal 'sneak' role in the game.

Nearly all of the Flâneur's special abilities pertain to avoiding detection and becoming forgettable.

This ties into the 'flavour' portion of the playbook, which it what it's named after.

The flâneur is a French archetype; an urban observer. This fits exceptionally well into the premise of DARKDATA: an outcast in an urban environment.

This is one of the first playbook ideas I ended up keeping, and though simple, I think it works well.

That's all I really have to say about this one.

Reminder that DARKDATA is FREE (PWYW) on itch.io! If you've read this far, you should at least check it out here:

DARKDATA: Meet The Serpent

Un stratège et un saboteur.

Gee, this took a while. (I got lazy.) At least there's a silver lining to me waiting so long to make this - this playbook has gone through several changes!

Starting Command: VERiFY

The first and most obvious change is the Flesh-Metal Gateway special ability has been replaced with Hardboiled, which I think reflects the feeling of this playbook - and the rest of DARKDATA - a lot better!

All of the Serpent's special abilitirs are about getting to the truth - or avoiding deception.

The Serpent playbook is all about finding the truth and in general being a detective-like character. If your modus operandi is knowing what the fuck is going on, play the Serpent!
