Against the Gloom

A role-playlisting game of fighting back against the Gloom...with music. Roll dice. Build your playlist. Fight the Gloom. What if our heroes exchanged their battle axes for Stratocasters? And what if lyrics and harmony were actual magic? Against the Gloom is a fantasy TTRPG for 3-5 players about the joy and power of music, chosen family, and building community in the face of the void. Play as pirate rockstars touring across a vast and dangerous void—the Gloom—aboard a ramshackle ship propelled by the power of song. Use your favorite songs to create your world, then protect it from the Gloom, one rockin’ gig at a time. With an easy-to-learn d6 system inspired by Yahtzee, you'll harmonize dice values to succeed, earn and spend songs on a collaborative music playlist, and truly unite your band.
