Danse
Macarbe is a reletively
rules-light dark fanstasy game with an emphasis on mood and horror. The
game works around player characters of reletively insignificant power
in a world full of cosmic horrors, monstrosities and dark things.
Helplessness is not only potentially a part of the game, it is
generally expected.
This means that Danse Macarbe stands at quite a remove from traditional fantasy or epic fantasy games. The expectation is that players will have to tread carefully and slowly through a given game session. Problems will usually have to be solved through clever reasoning, not brute strength, and it's quite likely that player characters will have to simply make a run for it when dark creatures turn up. In short Danse Macarbe is a game of careful survival, not glory. It is recomended that Danse Macarbe is suited for a mature gaming group. Some elements of the game have an adult, sometimes philosophical, sometimes horrific theme. |
