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. 

This is the Cracked Edition of DUSK. The rules are a super slim framework of play, and they will be supported with optional rules modules overtime. Eventually I would like to update this to a full omnibus version of DUSK in the future.

The core rules for DUSK Cracked Edition are 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.

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 modules will be released over time, allowing you to fine tune and create the perfect experience for your table.

When you purchase at the $5 level, you will gain access to all three Volumes when they release. 

DUSK currently is released with Volumes 1-3. These includes the core rules and these new 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.
  • Research: Take on dangerous feats to gather data on the  factions and create a new line of suntech inspired by your enemies.
  • Map: Explore the Dusk with a hexmap filled with points of interest and interesting discoveries.
  • Base: Build up your home base across multiple missions, earning new rewards for your Shards.

How are you planning to price the future volumes? Will they be added to this or made seperate? 

(1 edit) (+6)

They will be made as separate purchases.

EDIT: Since this post I've decided to simplify things and release the future Volumes as just included with your original $5 purchase of this edition of the game!

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?

(+4)

In Obron, the same world of Rune!

(+3)

That's right!
