Welcome to Role in the Dark. Role in the Dark is an actual play
tabletop roleplaying game podcast. We gather here to improvise stories before your very ears,
creating characters and piloting them through scenarios of adventure, misadventure, hilarity,
and terror. Situations of skill, luck, and uncertainty are resolved via various
rule systems that we use each episode. We could be playing undercover Black Ops
specialists in Delta Green, where Lovecraft meets the X Files. We could be
mired in the filth of Merkborg's pre apocalyptic grim dark Fantasy. We could be
solving cosmic yet cozy mysteries in Brindlewood Bay, and a whole host more.
The listener never knows what will happen next, because we, the players,
also do not know. That is the beauty of the tabletop roleplaying game,
where gaming meets improm and glory or triumph can turn to disaster and death on
the roll of a single dice. We aim to create stories to enrapture,
entertain, amuse, and terrify. We hope you can join us as we
roll in the dark.
