A mundane-seeming crime masks a sinister\u00a0plot\u2014and sends characters racing across a dozen realities\u00a0in a bid to save the Earth!<\/h3>\n

Spiral dust is an incredible high. Wonderful. Transcendent. Orgasmic. That\u2019s what users claim, eyes wide to reveal blue fractals\u00a0instead of irises. Spiral dust addiction is on the rise. But why? Who is the Dustman who deals this strange substance\u00a0from the shadows? And why do heavy spiral dust users tend to disappear without a trace?<\/p>\n

The Dark Spiral<\/em> is a multi-part adventure for The Strange<\/em><\/a>. Player characters are tasked by\u00a0the Estate, a secretive organization pledged to protect the Earth, to shut\u00a0down a local dealer of spiral dust. Their mission takes them farther than they expected when the trail leads to alternate, limited\u00a0worlds called recursions where the rules of reality are different.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"The-Dark-Spiral-5-Joe-Slucher\"<\/p>\n

Game masters can intermix secondary Estate\u00a0missions (in any order) with the main story arc of the adventure to create a mini-campaign.\u00a0The Dark Spiral<\/em>\u00a0introduces\u00a0players to the wonders of translating between alternate worlds of The Strange<\/em> and showcases the narrative structure\u00a0of the game. And it includes six pages of awesome “show ’em” illustrations to pull the players right into the action!<\/span><\/p>\n

In addition to introducing new recursions\u00a0not covered in\u00a0The Strange<\/em>\u00a0corebook,\u00a0The Dark Spiral<\/em>\u00a0offers\u00a0new creatures, characters, and items to add to any campaign.
