Gameplay

[edit | edit source]

Character creation is based on archetypes that grant starting equipment. Characters have three base statistics: strength, dexterity, and control. A gamemaster system called the "Voidcrawl Procedure" randomizes how to reveal mystery clues to the players.[3]

Reception
