You are a Shard

Equipped with the latest suntech, you are tasked with venturing out into the Dusk, and helping bring a new dawn to humanity. The Dusk does not want you there. 

Good luck.

DUSK

DUSK is a rules-lite TTRPG set in the NOVAverse, the setting of the NOVA TTRPG and its related games. 

In it, you play as Shards, survivors on the planet Obron after the devastating nova-event that saw your world destroyed. Now you wield powerful technology fueled by pieces of your dead sun, in hopes of surviving another day.

DUSK uses the LUMEN 2.0 system, and is a diceless RPG focused on resource management rather than luck or chance. 

All of the core rules for DUSK are completely free, and you can find them below in the Demo section. The rules fit on a single piece of paper, everything you need to start your adventures.

You can also pick up DUSK Volume 1, which includes the rules, lore, and the first two optional rules modules for just $5.

Want to learn more? In this video I give you an overview of the setting and a quick explanation of the rules!

Modular RPG

DUSK is a modular TTRPG, meaning you can choose to add as many of the optional rules modules to your version of the game as you'd like. More and more modules will be released over time, allowing you to fine tune and create the perfect experience for your table.

DUSK currently is released with the Volume 1 module set. This includes the core rules and two optional modules:

  • Scars: New character creation options, giving your Shards new abilities based on the horrors they've faced.
  • War: Adds a layer of complexity to combat, focusing on creative use of tags on weapons and enemies to take out the enemies of humanity.

More DUSK To Come

Keep an eye out for more DUSK modules over time! There is a lot planned for the game. Here are some previews:

  • Volume 2: Modules focused on exploration, map making, and base building.
  • Volume 3: Modules focused on unique rules for different types of missions.
  • Volume 4: Mini campaign modules based on the enemy factions of NOVA.

These volumes and other DUSK expansions will be available for purchase when they are released. The core rules will always be free.

I really like this premise and am looking forward to future volumes - is there any news on volumes 2 - 4 or is this on a bit of a back burner?

Working on volumes 2 and 3 currently!

Fabulous news! Really excited to hear it and looking forward to seeing what you come up with! :)

Is this more of a setting for NOVA or more of a brand new system?

This is a new system set in the NOVA universe.

Beautiful game! Have you considered tokens to keep track of resources? Maybe a "shard" like shape?

In Obron, the same world of Rune!

That's right!
