DSS RPG is a cinematic space horror game that uses a narrative engine to immerse players in the themes of horror and uncertainty throughout play.

It is inspired by incredible systems such as Trophy SRD by Jesse Ross, Tiny D6 Engine by Alan Bahr/Gallant Knight Games, Ironsworn SRD by Shawn Tomkin and Boundless SRD by René-Pier Deshaies-Gélinas.

It was designed to unfold intense, self-contained stories of space horror, following the tone of films in the genre. Ideally, it is meant for one-shots or short campaigns.

During a session, Players take on the roles of doomed members of a spacefaring crew, exploring the dark space, far from all human contact and with scarce resources to survive.

Uses clear-colored and dark-colored six-sided dice (or D), to resolve risky actions. Yet this rules system is not limited to resolving actions through dice alone. It is a narrative generator that dramatizes, with every roll, the conflict between the human versus the inhuman, between will versus horror, between light versus darkness.

Every time you roll, you trigger a narrative opportunity:

The clear D represents your agency, your humanity, your resilience.

The dark D represents the hostile environment, the alien, the unseen presence watching beyond the visible.

The system doesn’t just respond, it proposes. The dark D is not only a threat in the game; it is another narrative voice. The system doesn’t decide what happens; it reveals what horror demands.

With at least one D of each color and three possible outcomes (strong hit, weak hit, and failure), a wide range of narrative consequences emerge, affecting both character and scene. There are no modifiers, no complex calculations.

The core mechanic is simple:

This game uses at least two six-sided dice (or D): one clear-colored and one dark-colored. When rolling the dice, resolve the outcome according to the following guidelines:

Strong Hit: When the clear-colored D shows 5 or 6, the action is resolved as a complete success.

DSS RPG es un juego de horror espacial cinemático que usa un motor narrativo para involucrar a los jugador en temas de horror e incertidumbre durante la partida.

Está inspirado en sistemas increíbles como Trophy SRD de Jesse Ross, Tiny D6 Engine de Alan Bahr/Gallant Knight Games, Ironsworn SRD de Shawn Tomkin y Boundless SRD de René-Pier Deshaies-Gélinas.

Fue diseñado para desarrollar historias intensas y autoconclusivas de horror espacial, siguiendo el tono de los filmes de género. Está pensando para one-shots o campañas cortas.

En partida, los jugadores toman el rol de miembros de una tripulación espacial condenada, explorando el espacio oscuro; lejos de todo contacto humano y con escasos recursos para sobrevivir.

Usa dados de seis caras (o D) de color claro y oscuro para resolver situaciones de riesgo. Sin embargo, este sistema no se limita a resolver acciones únicamente mediante dados. Es un generador narrativo que dramatiza, con cada tirada, el conflicto entre lo humano versus lo inhumano, entre la voluntad versus el horror, entre la luz versus la oscuridad.

En cada tirada, desencadenas una oportunidad narrativa:

El D claro representa tu agencia, humanidad y resiliencia.

El The D oscuro representa la hostilidad del entorno, lo alienigena, y la presencia que te observa más allá de lo visible.

El sistema no solo responde, propone. El D oscuro no es solo una amenaza en el juego, es otra voz narrativa. El sistema no decide que pasa, revela lo que el horror demanda.

Con al menos un D de cada color y tres posibles resultados (éxito completo, éxito parcial y fallo), se genera una amplia gama de consecuencias narrativas que afectan al personaje y las escenas.

No hay modificadores, ni cálculos complejos.

La mecánica básica es simple:
