Shadow Conspiracy (Adult) (d20 Modern)

The world of Dark Conspiracy is our own, but projected into the future. This world has suffered global economic collapse, sometimes called the Greater Depression, and a disintegration of traditional nation states. Nations still exist, but their actions are increasingly irresponsible or irrelevant. Mega-Corporations now rival Nations in power. Another change is an increase in appearance of Dark Ones and Haunted Places, which are now simply called Demon Ground. Whole areas of cities and the countryside have been taken over. People avoid these places instinctively.

Corporations have power because of a Supreme Court Ruling (duplicated in almost every country on the planet) which allows the buying of  political votes for a subsistence standard of living. This has created an entire new underclass, called Parole’. Parole’ live in tiny apartments, wear cookie cutter clothes, watch corporate TV, and eat mush. 80% of the world’s population falls into this category. There is a diminishing middle class, mostly made up of creative professionals and technical professionals. The top 1% are called Nomencalture, or Idle Rich. These people live in cities within cities. They have everything they could possibly want - even slaves.

The Darkness has taken some people and twisted them into perversions of their former selves, much like Demon Ground. Pollution and disease run rampent, yet somehow the population continues to increase. Rural flight has lead to the desertion of the countryside, which has become a nightmarish wilderness full of hostile elements. Mega cities dominate the landscape where people live. People have a choice between being crammed into sardine boxes or being alone in a frightening and haunted wilderness countryside.

This is the world of Dark Conspiracy. Welcome…and try not to feed the monsters.
