Dawn of the Eschaton


Dawn of the Eschaton is our flagship game and is available free over at DriveThruRPG and also itch.io!

A Dark Horror Tabletop Roleplaying Game set in our world present day in which something very bad has happened. The world is now engulfed in complete darkness. No sunlight, no moonlight, no stars shining anywhere. Electricity no longer functions. Current does not flow through wires. Any source of light, typically from flame, penetrates the darkness just mere feet as if the air itself is thick with this Dark.

Plants will soon be dead. Strange fungus is sprouting everywhere. Most animals have either died or seemed to have simply vanished. Not all animals are gone, however. As if by some force of the Darkness itself a few animals have quickly changed. Having traded their herbivorous nature for vicious meat-eating terrors. Food is quickly becoming scarce as it gets consumed by the roaches that seem to be able to chew their way through almost anything. All of that is the least of a players’ problems, however, because supernatural monsters now hide in basements and closets or prowl the streets looking for anyone to kill.

Welcome to the End of Days

The world has gone to complete pitch black darkness. Humanity teeters on the brink of extinction. The sudden and inexplicable loss of light, electricity, and sanity plunges society into chaos. As you navigate this treacherous new reality, you'll face unspeakable terrors lurking in every dark shadow.

"It's not post-apocalyptic, it IS the apocalypse!"

"Dawn of the Eschaton" is a Tabletop Roleplaying Game set in a world where nothing is certain, and everything is at stake. Will you rise above the chaos, or succumb to the crushing weight of the darkness? The choice is yours.
