Humanity is depraved. The bureaucratic hegemony known as the Supreme Republic of Man enforces law loose enough to create anarchy, where powerful conglomerates, religions, and industries prey on the weak and powerless. Even in this hostile environment, though, citizens hope for a better life. Dreams of glory in battle, sudden wealth, or independence in the Kuiper Belt shine like stars in the sky -- distant reminders of what may come.
Even these are suddenly taken away as the sudden collapse of the Oort Cloud plunges the solar system into darkness. Humanity is cut off from the Universe. Suddenly, they are alone and looking for a more enduring source of hope.
Starset: The Great Dimming is a grimdark sci-fi tabletop role-playing game focused on hope. The game utilizes a brand new dice pool system that combines resource management with risk to create lethal, tactical gameplay where every decision changes the world -- starting with character creation.
Characters are created using a semi-randomized choose-your-own-adventure. Players choose areas of life to begin their character's backstory and then randomly generate events within that area to determine plot decisions. By making these decisions, characters determine endlessly unique starting skills, items, physical attributes, and personalities. If they survive.
In addition, inside this book players will find:
Players can start right away with only six pages of rules. Starset's core mechanic has players utilizing their vitality as both their dice pool and their health. As injuries and fatigue accumulate, characters gain fewer and fewer dice with each turn. Delayed resolution of actions means players and NPCs act simultaneously, allowing them to help or inhibit each other. Only by working together, taking risks, and tactically planning will players create hope in a darkening world.
Starset: The Great Dimming is a Hoodwink Games product. This book, and the Starset Player Manual and Starset Universe Manual were fundraised on Kickstarter by over 330 gamers in four continents. We hope you'll join us. For more details, visit hoodwinkgaming.com.

Read the first book and this 2nd one did not disappoint! Loved every chapter. More please!
Like it was written by George Santos
Received an Advanced Reader Copy from a friend. I am an avid true crime reader and upon completion I question if the author is credible. The timeline does not add up for his age and the times of his alleged involvement in organized crime. Some of the things in the book he is alleged to have said and done I remember almost word for word from movies I had previously watched. He literally stole a scene from the movie the accountant with Ben Affleck and said that he did it. I did a little research after completing the book and learned that this author was also claiming in 2010 that he was a long time member of the Bloods Gang. That coupled with the above leads me to believe that it is nothing more than fantasy. Do not waste your time or money

What a difficult story to tell. I appreciate the honesty and vulnerability. Definitely made me think.
I had hopes for this book but was not expecting what I would read within the pages. If your kink is deplorable grammar, incoherent sentences, and inconsistent messages, then this book is for you. At first, I thought the book I received was not the book I ordered. But as I dived in, it was very confusing. I would not recommend this book to anyone
There are not many reviews on the internet for this book. In researching the many stores selling the book, it was self-published which makes a lot of sense. The online description is written perfectly, so reading the actual book was very difficult. Pages two and three are written clearly as well as the table of contents. Pages 155 and 156 are also written logically.
It appears this book was written, then sent through a program like “Grammarly.” Once completed it seems it was published without being re-read or edited. The first clue was the title narrative that used “Has” instead of “As.” The table of contents is one page off from what it shows on pages four though seven. Many of the “q’s” are written as “[]”
Below are some examples of what was within the pages of this book written verbatim:
“Chains & Discipline/ Domination & entry/ Sadism & Masochism (BDSM) is a wide classification of bed room play.” Page 9
“When bringing up the topic of chains, you are actually asking a person to offer you their depend on, their flexibility, and also possibly their suggestion of security in exchange for sensual/sexual enjoyment, power-play, and also feasible re-evaluation of your very own connection.” Page 39
“Techni[]ue can take a selection of kinds and also be as easy or facility as you pick to (new paragraph) bargain for your details scenario” Page 52
“BDSM stands for chains as well as entry, technique and also supremacy as well as sadism and also masochism.” Page 125
“SHELF means Risk Aware Consensual Kink.” Page 130
“Approval is whatever.” Page 152
“your twist isn’t my twist, yet your twist is OKAY.” Page 153
“You can be a top, base, or button” Page 153
