Editing Setting:HR Giger's Dark World














== introduction ==
Welcome to hr giger's dark world.

This is a campaign setting for any generic rpg system based on the critically acclamed [[/v/]] darkseed. The games are Abandonware now beause the last game in the series darkseed II was released in 1995 and the games are no longer available from steam or even gog.com. The artwork for the "dark world" areas of the game are based off artwork provided by the late swiss surrealist hr giger. Giger's artwork depicted human flesh in an unnatural union with cybernetics resulting in strange machines and creatures called biomechanoids. these creaures are the main inhabitants of the dark world. Some of them may appear human but they are anything but. their insides are completely foreign to human anatomy. best of luck to you in your adventures in the dark world!

=== the setting ===
-tell us which of us is ik and whtch of us is uk and tell us whether it is day or night -biomechanoids

The light world is the same as you or me have it here in real life, all the laws of physics apply, the sun still shines, and most people go about their lives normally. But sometimes people happen across a portal the dark world (Almost always a cursed mirror.) When characters first enter the dark world they might be curious but that curiosity always turns to fear when they stumble accross a evil dark worlder, their curiosity will always turn to terror or disgust because the human mind cant handle the horrors of the dark world. Eventually the terrifying surreality of the dark world will destroy the minds of those who linger there too long. (more on this later) The dark world version of earth was conquered by the ancients. The ancients are from a different planet in the dark world, then they came to earth with theier spaceships and now they are plotting to conquer earth. They have tried twice to conquer earth. First they tried using the epyonomous dark seed they impregnated average joe mike dawson using a machine to shoot the dark seed into his brain. He stopped the ancients and killed the dark seed by destroying the ailen power source and taking pills given to him by the keeper of the scrolls (a frendly darkworlder.) The second time the ancients tried growing a new monster called the behemoth. But mike dawson was around to stop them again by destroying the incubator of the behemoth with a sword given to him by another friendly darkworlder called the keeper of the sword. But mike dawson was murdered by his dark world counterpart jack. 

== character generation == 

In order to play any rpg you have to make a player character, but in this setting all living things have dark world versions so a player has to make 2 characters. But this dosent mean you have to create 2 completely diffrent characters you can copy the core info of the character like ability scores and stuff. But if you want to you can create 2 diffrent charaters with diffrent skills and abillity scores if you want to. Dark world characters are usually helpful to light worlders, especially if they are working against the ancients. Charcters have some pocket money (determined by rolling d100 and halving it) and a cell phone (If you try to use it in the dark world all you get is static and screams.) Dark world characters have a microchip in them so the ancients can track them but they can use completely ailen dark world computer equipment without a special skill. (Gm discretion for the optional rule that light world characters cant understand dark word tech.) Dark world character can not pass over into the light because their bodies cant fuction in our laws of physics but humans can pass over.
