You and your crewmates have translated from the superluminal into a place outside the known universe, a place known from whispered legend as the Wine Dark. Not a single known star within range of the ship’s sensors, distracted by vague and terror-stricken pleading from crewmates on the decks below, you shut down the comms. There must be a way to translate somewhere…anywhere…else. As of yet, your desperate searching and strategizing have yielded no results. You are stranded here—but you are not alone.

All manner of strange horrors lurk here amidst the crimson void, from shambling undead in forgotten holds of derelict ships, demon gods hailing from an ancient kilometers-long artifact known as the Gate, to countless other unnamed terrors. What toll will the Wine Dark demand of your character? How will your own horror manifest?

The Wine Dark Sea is a rules-light role playing game of sci-fi horror. Inspired in large part by the Odyssey, this game pits tragic characters against their own doom. Every continuing step on their journey presents a struggle to survive and maintain who they are.
