Publisher: Steve Bean GamesNULL SINGULARITY is an existential, space-horror one-shot compatible with the Dungeon Crawl Classics RPG. NULL SINGULARITY has rules for a new class, "Voidants:" the nameless crew of a primitive colony ship that's playing a doomed game of hide-and-seek with the dark, cosmological agent of the universe's destruction. NULL SINGULARITY plays in about 4 hours, including character creation, making it an excellent choice for gaming groups and convention events.
At Alpha-Minus Zero there was EveryThing, existing in NoThing, compressed into an infinitesimally small speck. Then the speck exploded, filling The Void with matter, light and life.
But the Null Singularity existed in the In-between: light-sucking anti-matter. It arrived on the event horizon and twisted and tore at gravity, torturing space-time.
Life sought to flee from The Singularity. Unprepared, it flung itself out into The Void.
You are a Voidant. Your Primary Mission Parameter is: There is only the Mission, which has No Definite Parameters.
Really, you’re a spare part - like a PortZeal or a PulzValve - just organic. You spend most of your time in SomniStays-Iz. The rare times you’ve been task-assigned a VoidWalk are the only times you’ve felt at all alive.
This is one of those rare times, but this time… Your VoidArk is experiencing catastrophic PlanetFall.
NULL SINGULARITY was inspired by James MacGeorge's brilliant BLACK SUN DEATHCRAWAL. NULL SINGULARITY vectors off of BSDC's themes of hoplessness and loss of humanity to explore fear and the survival instinct in an utterly hostile, alien environment.
