Description

The company found a new lifeform, and they want you to study it. Their offer’s uncharacteristically generous – you catalog this organism, determine how they can use it, and bring it back so they can slap their patent on it. Fairly routine stuff. In exchange, they’ll hook you up with a cushy corporate department head position, secure you a book deal, and make sure the institute of your choice gives you tenure. Did I mention the money? There’s a lot of it. Simple survey, sample, and analysis job. Seemed too good to be true.

Of course it is.

Heart of Darkness is a complete Cinematic Scenario for the Alien RPG, written by sci-fi novelist Andrew E.C. Gaska. It is a stand-alone adventure, but also serves as a conclusion to the Draconis Strain Saga begun in the cinematic scenario Chariot of the Gods and continued in Destroyer of Worlds. The scenario is designed for 3-5 players plus the Game Mother, and is a spiraling descent into soul-crushing madness.

Inside you’ll find:

A huge double-sided map (format 864x558mm)

Seven pre-generated characters to choose from

Custom cards for secret messages and personal agendas

Player maps and handouts

This is not a stand-alone game. A copy of the Alien RPG Core Rulebook or Starter Set is required to play.
