Subsurface
THE PIT is a clandestine research facility buried five kilometres underground. Within its cold, dark depths, an unscrupulous transnational corporation called CERBERUS INDUSTRIES studies eerie paranormal phenomena, and tests unregulated military hardware. SUBSURFACE is an action horror tabletop RPG inspired by F.E.A.R, Half-Life, Dusk, Doom, the SCP Foundation, and FIST by CLAYMORE. In this game, operatives trapped in the lowest levels of the Pit try to fight their way up countless floors of horror to get to the surface, in the wake of a terrible and myterious subterranean disaster. SUBSURFACE is built upon the LUMEN system by Gila RPGs. This means it's packed full of punchy, blazing combat and swarms of vicious enemies. Move room-by-room to get to the end of each floor, fighting, looting, and trying to survive. Keep your adrenaline high and ammunition higher, and beware of the dark. All you need to play are a handfull of 6-sided dice, writing materials, and 3+ players willing to drop into the deadly depths of the Pit.
