Oubliette: Survive the Darkness
The Oubliette.Once, long ago, it was an epic dungeon filled with so many monsters and traps that only the bravest or most desperate adventurers would dare walk its halls. Epic battles were fought for gold and glory. Nefarious deeds were done far from the light of day.
After the master of The Oubliette, a terrible demi-god lich named Lorcan the Vile, was slain by great heroes of legend it slowly fell from memory. The adventurers and their guilds moved on in search of other dungeons to plunder. The city that had grown up around the dungeon withered as the flow of treasure dwindled then died out. Two years after Lorcan's death the dungeon was declared 'Cleared' by the kingdom.
But, what do you do with a vast underground labyrinth?
King Alfred I was the one who struck upon using The Oubliette as a prison. Those same measures that were used to keep the monsters from attacking the surrounding lands would serve to keep the prisoners inside. So, instead of messy executions, those guilty of capital crimes were given the choice to be thrown into The Oubliette. The promise was that if they managed to escape they would be forgiven.
None ever escaped.
It is now the reign of King Alfred III. Virtually any crime is punishable by throwing the offender into The Oubliette. Speaking out against the King, stealing a loaf of bread, wearing purple and more are all now considered crimes. You have been arrested for one crime or another. it doesn't matter which one, or if you are even guilty. Your sentence is given without the chance for appeal. You have been transported to the city of Black Gate in a prison wagon.
Today, today is the day you get thrown in...

Greetings and salutations!
Oubliette: Survive the Darkness will be a Fantasy Survivor Horror Dungeon Crawl. The entirety of the game will be played out within the halls of The Oubliette as characters strive together to find or build equipment, evade ancient traps, outsmart or defeat terrible monsters, make friends with fellow prisoners, and defend their supplies from prisoners who want to rob them. Their ultimate goal is simply to survive long enough to find a way to escape.
The tone of the game is somewhat grim and gritty, with light horror thrown in. That isn't to say we can't also throw in some comedy here and there. You may expect bad puns and the occasional movie reference between the scenes of your characters running for their lives. Characters will die, only for their replacements to take of the quest for survival.
Inspirational material for this game was found in Exile: Escape from the Pit by Spiderweb Software, Dark Sun, Rappan Athuk, Tegel Manor, Keep on the Boarderlands, as well as a number of other locations.
Welcome to The Oubliette! May your stay be short but memorable!
