== Introduction == Welcome to H.R. Giger's Dark World. This is a campaign setting based on the critically acclamed /v/ darkseed. The games are Abandonware now because the last game in the series Darkseed II was released in 1995; the games are no longer available from steam or even gog.com. The artwork for the "Dark World" areas of the game are based off artwork provided by the late Swiss surrealist H.R. Giger. Giger's artwork depicted human flesh in an unnatural union with cybernetics resulting in strange machines and creatures called biomechanoids. These creatures are the main inhabitants of the Dark World. Some of them may appear human, but they are anything but; their insides are completely foreign to human anatomy. Best of luck to you in your adventures in the Dark World! === The setting and our goals=== -Tell us which of us is IK and which of us is UK. in addition, tell us whether it is day or night. -Biomechanoid Guards The Light World is the same as you or me have it here in real life, all the laws of physics apply, the sun still shines, and most people go about their lives normally. But sometimes people stumble across a portal to the Dark World (Almost always a cursed mirror). When characters first enter the Dark World, they might be curious, but that curiosity always turns to fear when they stumble across a evil Dark Worlder. Their curiosity will always turn to terror or disgust because the human mind can't handle the horrors of the Dark World. Eventually the terrifying surreality of the dark world will destroy the minds of those who linger there too long. (More on this later.) The Dark World version of Earth was conquered by the Ancients. The Ancients are from a different planet in the Dark World, then they came to earth with their spaceships and are now plotting to conquer Earth. They have tried twice to conquer earth. First they tried using the epynomous dark seed. they impregnated average joe Mike Dawson using a machine to shoot the dark seed into his brain. He stopped the Ancients and killed the dark seed by destroying the alien power source and taking pills given to him by the keeper of the scrolls (a friendly darkworlder.) The second time the ancients tried growing a new monster called the Behemoth. But Mike Dawson was around to stop them again by destroying the incubator of the behemoth with a sword given to him by another friendly darkworlder called the keeper of the sword. But, tragically, Mike was murdered by his Dark World counterpart Jack. The mission at hand for the development team: 1. Create a setting/homebrew that is faithful to the aesthetic style of H.R. Giger. 2. Expand upon the premise of the games and the preexisting fluff and branch out into new genres for dark seed, such as military sci-fi. 3. Make a easy to understand set of custom rules for the setting accurately depicting the fluff. 4. keep adding expansion material to the setting after the groundwork is laid. 5. GET SHIT DONE!
