Trophy Dark is a play-to-lose RPG where we tell the story of the last expedition of a group of desperate treasure hunters. In this one-shot scenario, players will journey to a seaside town where a ritual is underway: sacrifices of valuables to a sea goddess. Seems like a waste of treasure that would be better suited to the pockets of our treasure hunters.

Trophy Dark characters consist of a few defining details and a single stat, Ruin, which marks their progress towards their doom. The game is easy to pick-up, and players are invited to contribute ideas to build the world and its terrors as we go.

Michael Van Vleet is an Ennie Award-winning contributor to The Wassailing of Claus Manor and also contributed to all of the core Trophy books: Trophy Dark, Trophy Gold and Trophy Loom.

Safety Tools: We use x-card, open door, and an abbreviated lines and veils for con play
