Shadow Forge System (an evolution of forged in the dark system)
Pilgrims of the Murk Dome is a dark fantasy, fiction-first RPG set in a macabre and apocalyptic Middle Ages, where the world has been devastated by a supernatural cataclysm known as the coming of the Murk Domes, pulsating pockets of nightmare that serve as portals to the horrors of the dream world.
The Wakelands represent the last bastions of humanity, decimated by the plague of the Domes, where survivors gather in fortified Chapters.
The Game Master is called the Shadow, while the players take on the role of Nightblood Pilgrims.
The Pilgrims are explorers and seekers of Oneiric Matters, and act as intermediaries between the Nightmare Lands and the Wakelands. Thanks to the power diluted in their blood, they have the ability to assume a Dream Form within the Domes and are capable of mastering the arcane forces of Fear and Desire. Bearers of hope, but also bearers of despair, they absorb the Nightmare and end up corrupting the world they swore to protect.
“Welcome, traveler of the Eternal Night. Stay awake if you can. Dream if you dare. Die if you must.”
