Blair From the Introduction: Themes Supernatural space horror and otherworldly exploration. Inspriation should be drawn from such games as Dead Space and Doom, as well as movies such as Event Horizon. What You Will Need to Play You will need a standard deck of 52 playing cards for a 2 to 5 man game (There are plenty of stylized Bicycle Playing Card decks on Amazon if you wish to have a deck to match the theme of this game). If you wish to play a longer game, or play with more players, add another deck. You will also need to keep track of player stats either via pen and paper or electronically. Number of Players Two (2) to Many (although a group larger than 6 will be difficult to control). One player takes the role of the Game Master (GM) and weaves the tale of horror for the rest of the players to adventure in. All other players will take the roles of the special elite operatives working for The Authority. Synopsis Space explorers quest into The Deep; Breaches in reality that exist in-between the darkness of space, under centuries-old frozen oceans, and in the forgotten ruins of alien civilizations. These elite operatives are on missions for The Authority; A joint military organization that seeks both knowledge of what is within The Deep and information on how to contain and seal it. The stress of survival and the deaths of their companions push even the strongest operatives into instability and madness.
