What is it about?
Jacob Kent’s In the Dark of a Fallen Empire adapts Nate Treme’s In the Light of a Ghost Star to a fallen fantasy empire. The complete original twelve-page download includes rules, sorcery, a sample setting, dungeon and character sheet.

At the table
Assign d4, d6 and d8 to Wizard, Thief and Fighter; roll 4+ to succeed. Manage three starting Health and ten inventory slots. Sorcery uses physical media: its first daily use is safe, while repeated use risks destroying the medium.
