My Favourite Ever Roleplaying Game | Alternity Dark Matter

Dark*Matter is my favourite RPG of all time - a conspiracy laden, cryptid infested, 1990s pop culture classic. At the time Inquest Gamer described it as the "best game TSR/Wizards ever produced", and they might be right! Taking inspiration from The X-Files the game was built on the short-lived Alternity system developed at TSR as they were taken over by Wizards of the Coast The rules system formed the basis of D20 and Dungeons and Dragons 3rd edition, and Dark*Matter won awards for its incredible design, but despite all that it has largely been lost to time and internet decay. I track the origins and influences on the game, its release history, and narrative tie-ins; and gain insights through interviews with the design team who actually made the game in the first place. Join me as I uncover the truth behind the best roleplaying game Wizards of the Coast ever produced. All that you see is not all that there is.
