Planet of Darkness

Alternity RPG

by Christopher Perkins

Planet of Darkness is an adventure designed for the Alternity science fiction roleplaying game. It takes place in the Oberon star system, described in the Star*Drive campaign setting. You can play it as a stand-alone adventure or use it as the foundation for a trade-based, Progress Level 7 campaign.

In these pages you'll find general information about the planet Lison and how to manage a campaign on this unusual world. The heroes become entangled in the machinations of two stellar nations determined to take more than their share of Lison's most precious resource: rhodium.

* Act I: Rhodium Run introduces heroes to life and trade on Lison. Through their dealings, the heroes uncover a sinister plot involving a cykotek runner and a nefarious black marketeer.

* Act II: The Omega Agenda challenges heroes to investigate the disappearance of oxygen runners on the planet's surface and expose an insidious enemy threatening the rhodium trade.

* Act III: Eclipse pits heroes against a stellar nation ready to take the entire world hostage. With the aid of some alien artifacts, the heroes must breach the defenses of a dreadnought to end the blockade.
