'The branches of the Astral Corridor weave through time and space, echoing fractured realities once thought forgotten. The archivists of the Black Archives work tirelessly to catalogue these tales, reaching into the furthest depths of the corridor to glimpse what can never be.’

Black Archives is a TTRPG story spotlight event, as our house GMs weave tales from across the multiverse. These original stories are self-contained and setting-agnostic, intended for both experienced and newer players. We'll be featuring a variety of indie TTRPG systems alongside our regular D&D5E offerings! 

Each session will feature it's own unique system and requirements, so be sure to read the full event description before ordering. 

Tonight, the tales you can expect to uncover are: 

EVERYBODY DIES IN THE DUNGEON (HOUSE GM: GILLI) 

SYSTEM: DND 5e 2024.
THE STORY: You have guarded the treasure room in your bosses Dungeon for years, completely without incident. No fights, no casualties, no complications whatsoever. It’s the easiest job in the world.
That all changes today.

PRE-GENS PROVIDED?: No - Roll a level 6 character - All players must be a specific species - Goblin. (Please bring a backup Goblin just in case). 

CONTENT WARNINGS: Death, Graphic Violence, Gore, ‘Are we the bad guys?’

PIECE BY PIECE (HOUSE GM: PHIL)

SYSTEM: Mothership RPG
THE STORY: Daedalus Robotic Lab’s parent company, Jensen-Hung, is excited to offer an attractive opportunity to any self-motivated freelancers in the sector! Taking on the important role of Temporary Maintenance Crew, contractees are tasked with retrieving Artifact 21 for analysis. Caution is advised; discretion is enforced

PRE-GENS PROVIDED?: Character creation will happen at the table. Highly recommended to install Mothership Companion (free), available on mobile and desktop: https://mothershipcompanion.com/
