INTRODUCTION
Welcome to
Spiralis,
a roleplaying game of supernatural
mystery and dread inspired by
Cthulhu Dark
and the Powered
By the Apocalypse family of games. In this game, one to five
players will portray Investigators, peering into the secrets of
the cosmos, which will probably shatter their lives in various
ways. Additionally, one person will be the Keeper, who will
prepare and present an investigative scenario: conflicts to be
resolved, clues to be uncovered, and consequences for the
Investigators’ actions.
Although some familiarity with other roleplaying games is
expected, first-time roleplayers should be able to follow these
rules.
PLAYER ACTIVITIES
Players will determine their Investigators’ basic information,
as well as three core Stats that will fluctuate (mostly
downward) in play. This is a game of spiraling terror, and more
than one Investigator is very likely to meet a grotesque fate.
Creating your Investigator should take 5 to 15 minutes at
most, with substantial input from the Keeper and other players
at the table. Each player should have a handful of dice: three
six-sided, one eight-sided, and one ten-sided. These are
represented by symbols throughout the main text:
, , ,
etc. It helps if two
are a simple and identical (small or
black), while the other three dice are quite distinct (large or
colored), but this isn’t strictly necessary.
