Before the end, hunt the horrors infecting your world.
After the end, survive what they made of it.
Created by an award-winning team of designers and writers, with outstanding art by Simone Tammetta, Prophecy of Doom is a dark fantasy tabletop RPG campaign project forged for Shadowdark RPG and MÖRK-BORG – two games intertwined across the same doomed reality.
Two games. Two Eras across the Apocalypse. One deck of Tarots binding them together.
The Tarots of Ruin are only the beginning.
Created as a unique tabletop concept, Prophecy of Doom brings zines, cards, and game props together into one dark fantasy experience across two games.
- Two interconnected RPG experiences, playable independently, or together – procedurally
- A complete, finely illustrated tarot deck – usable for your tarot readings or for designed gameplay
- Physical props and tools designed to be handled, drawn, discovered, and used for your campaigns
- And more..
The world you know is still alive, for now..
However, reality is cracking, as darkness enters through ichor-oozing breaches opened in its fabric –
However, reality is cracking, as darkness enters through ichor-oozing breaches opened in its fabric –
Beyond them lies a primordial, dreamlike realm where the nightmares, fears, instincts, and obsessions of mortals have festered for millennia.
Through those dark wounds come the Heralds of Doom – champions of horror, carrying the Infection of the Primevils into your lands.
You are a Blessed, crawler,
Gifted with unnatural powers,
Shielded against death itself...
Hunt the Heralds down,
Reclaim the places that their Infection has infested,
Through those dark wounds come the Heralds of Doom – champions of horror, carrying the Infection of the Primevils into your lands.
You are a Blessed, crawler,
Gifted with unnatural powers,
Shielded against death itself...
Hunt the Heralds down,
Reclaim the places that their Infection has infested,
Slay what should never have taken root,
Claim the Tears and Seeds left behind after their fall...
The world the elders knew is gone, for good...
Now, reality is unraveling, as the material world bleeds into the primordial realm beyond its broken fabric – Left unchecked, places drift through fractured time and space, slowly dissolving back into the shapeless potential from which all things once came.
Across those dying lands, from their Dark Forts, rule the Heralds of Doom – lords of corrupted Domains, spreading the influence of the Primevils through what remains.
You are a Cursed, wanderer,
Infected with a corrupting hex.
Anchored to a world coming undone...
Enter the Domains of the Heralds,
Explore the drifting regions of reality,
Fix what remains in time and space,
Keep the Doom at bay for one more day...
