"That house on the outskirts of town, sitting empty behind a crumbling wall. The one people whisper about. The one that has gone unlived in for years. Sometimes a few hearty souls creep in, it is said, to see what treasures or secrets they can find. Most find nothing—just an empty old house. Some return shaken. A few don’t return at all. You’ve seen this house before. If not in this city, then in some other. You’ve heard the rumors—and if not, well, someday they’ll find you. What happens to a house when it sits alone for so many long years? What jealousies and hatreds does it quietly nurture? What whispers echo through its empty hallways? What waits, crouched within its dark rooms, hungering for the return of life? For you?" The Darkest House is an mega-adventure that takes you into a unique realm of horror. It’s made for the game you’re playing right now, to be integrated into your campaign regardless of the setting or game system. And it's uniquely optimized for a rich, powerful experience that's immersive for the players and easy on the GM—whether you play face-to-face or online. The Darkest House will chill and frighten your players like no other RPG experience. But along the way their characters will have experiences that make them stronger, deeper, richer, and more powerfully bonded as a party. Whether you game face-to-face or online, the unique format of The Darkest House makes the GM's job easy while providing an amazingly immersive experience for the players. Come explore the Darkest House! Taking Root in Any Setting That old house everyone whispers about; that apartment at the end of the hall where no tenant ever stays for long; that strange unit in the station quarters sector, where everything seems a bit off. These are among the many entrances to the Darkest House. Like an invasive vine or a creeping shadow, the House that Hungers insinuates itself into any world. It is a malignant and primal force, unconcerned with the specifics of the worlds it seeps into. The house exists in our world—in your world—in any world. Wherever there is hunger, the Darkest House can gain a foothold. It is perfectly happy to take root in your campaign. The Darkest House includes enough content for many, many sessions of play. It's a mega-adventure of sorts, a challenge and a mystery that enters your campaign perhaps as a single experience, or perhaps as a recurring element. Use it as a spooky interlude, or a major campaign theme, as best fits your game and the experience your players have within its walls. Making Your Game Better The Darkest House is compatible with the game you’re already playing—in fact, it’s specifically made to be integrated into your current campaign. Why? Because the house draws upon characters' memories and personal fears. It challenges their very notions of morality, family, friendship, love, and truth. You can run The Darkest House with new characters, but it really shines when played with characters that already have history, personality, and shared bonds. Those characters will emerge from the house with greater insight into their world, their companions, and most of all themselves. The Darkest House was really built to be added to your existing campaign—and by deepening your PCs, it will make that campaign even better! The House System easily converts characters from the game rules you’re currently using (it takes about five minutes), and then lets you return to your normal character sheets when your PCs emerge from the house. The House System is a sort of RPG Rosetta Stone, allowing easy translation from any game system—and even letting you bring characters from different games together. Your regular, ongoing game will be better after you’ve experienced the Darkest House. PCs emerge more deeply developed. Parties emerge more cohesively, with stronger bonds. The hefty (296-page) hardcover makes GMing a face-to-face game easy. Each room is presented as a two-page spread, eliminating page-flipping. A shortlink and QR code for each room let you quickly download and share player-facing maps, room images, handouts, and even sound files. You can use the book for virtual play—in fact, it's great for that, too—but sharing resources will involve a few more clicks. * The many dozens of rooms of the house itself. * Scores of narrative props, maps, illustrations, and other resources, all designed to be easily downloaded, copied, or otherwise shared with the players, with minimal effort on the GM’s part. * Secrets of the House, a GM’s guide detailing the house’s background, conversion rules, and the House Rules set you’ll use as your PCs explore, and try to escape from, the Darkest House. * Crossing the Threshold, which gives players the character conversion rules and everything they need to explore (and try to escape from) the Darkest House. * Character sheets, GM and player reference sheets, and other components to streamline play. The Darkest House hates you. The Darkest House wants you. Hardcover, 296 pages

The GM Notebook provides space to record all the pertinent details about your setting, with notes on the PCs, NPCs, and creatures, as well as adventures you plan, maps you draw, and so on. New GMs and old hands alike will appreciate how the notebook guides them through the worldbuilding and adventure-building process. The 100-page notebook is spiral-bound for ease of use, and looks beautiful on the game table.

Roleplaying reimagined! Surreal fantasy, secrets, and magic that is truly magical. Invisible Sun is the most ambitious RPG product in decades, perhaps ever, not just in its physical form but also its unique setting and groundbreaking new form of play. Do you think you live in the real world? You don`t. This world you see around you is Shadow - a world illuminated only by the Grey Sun. You think it`s your home, but that`s because you have forgotten your true self. Awaken, and return to the Actuality and Satyrine, the city under the Indigo Sun. You are a vislae, a wielder of fabulous powers and capabilities, a shaper of reality itself. You sought shelter in Shadow to escape the war, but the war is now over and your home has called you back. Wield fabulous powers as you uncover the secrets of reality itself in Invisible Sun, a roleplaying game of surreal fantasy, secrets, and magic that is truly magical! Gameplay and setting are as rich, sophisticated, and beautiful as the physical product. Surreal fantasy setting that’s truly unique. Unlike any previously published RPG. Purchase includes an app that facilitates between-session play. Invisible Sun may look like a collector’s item, but this game does more than any RPG to facilitate actual play in today’s hectic world. A not-to-be-missed piece of gaming history from Monte Cook, the RPG world’s most celebrated designer! The Black Cube contains: * four hardcover tomes totaling over 500-pages of game and setting content * The Sooth Deck, a beautiful, tarot-themed deck that`s instrumental to game play * The Path of Suns game board, used with the Sooth Deck * The Testament of Suns, a resin-cast figure that displays the currently ascendant Sooth Card * plus a wide variety of tokens for tracking game info * a set of custom Invisible Sun dice * two cloth maps * a GM`s notebook * character tomes for all four orders, plus apostates * a character grimoire pad * five pregenerated characters * loads of in-setting handouts and props

Some say the name comes from the Sodality of Vryn, which identifies thirteen currents of magic and gives each a letter designation, M is the 13th and most powerful. Others say the title refers to the original writer of the book, while still others believe it stands for mystery, or perhaps most simply and obviously, magic. Whatever the source of its name, the coveted Book M is whispered to contain unknown spells, incantations, rituals, charms, hexes, and more. Plus potions, amulets, bezoars, spiritstones, and madstones, as well as other physical ephemera. Within its pages a vislae might even discover previously unknown artifacts to aid in the pursuit of the secrets of reality. * Hardcover book plus 200 cards—all in a highly desirable slipcase. * Slipcase will hold the next three Invisible Sun supplements, encouraging future purchases to fill it out! * Magic (think Doctor Strange, rather than 6d6 fireball) is what Invisible Sun is all about—and this supplement is all about magic! * Invisible Sun is getting great marketing support, including heavy streaming and live play online.

Wise vislae, have you studied the realms beneath the suns? Have you planned your route along the Path, researched the wonders and dangers you will find, and prepared your parlays with the wardens? Or is your knowledge of the Path of Suns incomplete? Do you lack answers needed before one sets out on such a profound journey? Those answers you seek lie between these covers. This unique volume consists of dozens of documents from across Satyrine and beyond, detailing the secrets of the suns. Taken from old letters, treatises, arcane notes, and the pages of long-lost books, these are the fruits of your research, just waiting for you to harvest them. Each page is a removable handout; Enchiridion of the Path is a collection of artifacts and game props as well as a sourcebook. Tear this book apart. Rip the perforated pages from its unique binding. Take their secrets for your own. And prepare to venture out along the Path of Suns.

Of the four hardcover rulebooks included in the Invisible Sun Black Cube, The Key is the title most referenced by every player around the table. A sort of “player’s handbook” for Invisible Sun, it contains the rules for creating and advancing characters, and many gaming groups prefer to have more than one copy at the table. This provides a second copy beyond the one included in the Invisible Sun game.

You don`t have to be evil to own this book. But it helps. Some day the Nightside is evil, but that`s a misunderstanding. Or at least an oversimplification. It is dark, that much is certain. Forbidden. Dangerous. Those who walk the nightside Path meddle with the sinister. Those who call upon its forces risk much - perhaps all. The Nightside is your guide to this dangerous anthithesis of the Path of Suns. Some who call upon this forbidden tome will undoubtedly be seen as villains, but though its use is risky, it is not inherently without benefit. If you are willing to accept that risk, you will find new fortes, new patrons, dozens of magical practices - minor and long-form - and Nightside locations and characters. And, of course, many secrets of the Nightside. Surely, vislae, these benefits outweigh the risks? The Nightside, a 192-page book, enclosed in a special warded bag to protect the other tomes in your library from its dark and unpredictable effects. 40 Nightside magic cards, including spell, incantation, aggregate, ephemera, and object of power cards, plus 10 new Vance spell cards. A unique experimental die, unlike the mundane or magic dice in the Black Cube, for use with Nightside magic.

What do the cards tell you, wise vislae? Through them, do you see beyond what others dismiss as mere chance to the ever-changing magical connections among all things? Do the cards tell you of the past, the present, and the future? Do they help you navigate the worlds along the Path of Suns? The beautiful and evocative Sooth Deck, a centerpiece of both the setting and gameplay, is included in the Invisible Sun RPG, but a second copy can be useful in development mode play or as a handy extra. The cards guide play through specific mechanics, and their darkly surreal imagery suggests a variety of meanings, interpretations, interconnections, and inspirations. Like many things, the Sooth Deck serves multiple purposes in Invisible Sun. As a part of the setting, the Sooth Deck is a 60-card set of divinatory cards played upon a board showing the Path of Suns. Each card briefly brushes across a strand of fate to learn what might be in store for the person in question. Each deck is divided into four families, and each family has royalty cards. The Sooth Deck is also something that a character might have and use within the context of the game.

The famed trailblazer Taramoc Eslin gathered information from throughout the worlds and half-worlds to bring you this: Not just another bestiary, but the bestiary. The Teratology. The greatest resource on the creatures of the Actuality ever attempted by any vislae. Find new insights into the realms beneath each sun, along with hundreds of creatures, spirits, and other entities that inhabit those realms, painstakingly (and dangerously) researched and described. Any vislae venturing from Indigo will find this tome an indispensable resource. Goetics in particular will prize its trove of daringly-acquired insights into summonable beings. And even those who remain within Satyrine will discover many creatures they had not even imagined could be found so close. * An Invisible Sun bestiary. This game is unlike any other RPG on the market—and you can bet its creatures are equally unique! * Hundreds of bizarre and fascinating creatures. Short-form creatures for encounters; long-form creatures that immerse the GM and form the basis of entire stories. * Loads of additional information about the setting of Invisible Sun. * Fits in the slipcase that comes with Book M

The vislae’s road has many steps. Shadow. Satyrine. The Path of Suns and the worlds of the Actuality. But are there even greater mysteries? Further steps? Deeper secrets to reality?

Everything one player needs for Invisible Sun. The core Invisible Sun game (the black cube) contains everything a full gaming group needs to play a complete campaign, including all the materials for the players as well as GM. But sometimes the players want their own stuff. And some of the game elements, like character tomes and grimoires, are consumable, so GMs and players alike may want additional copies. The Vislae Kit is a player companion to the Invisible Sun game, containing all the stuff a single player may want. The custom Invisible Sun dice, a Sooth Deck, a grimoire pad, character tomes, tokens, and more come in a very cool box that is practically a collector’s item in its own right.

Dance on the edge of what it means to be human in a world of gritty streets and slick technology. Holographic ads and fortified skyscrapers loom over the city’s decaying streets. Criminal gangs battle in the alleyways, while above the fray faceless megacorps control political, economic, and military power.

Take your Cypher System game into the cyberpunk realm with Neon Rain. Install cybernetic upgrades, use virtual reality to hack into corpo mainframes, and dodge guardians and traps built by hostile AIs. Smuggle designer drugs, or tweak with your own body chemistry and risk addiction and death. Chase and be chased at breakneck speeds on futuristic highways under a night sky.
