More Hard Sci-Fi RPG Goodness Awaits In Osprey’s Pressure
June 14, 2023 by brennon
Osprey Games and Jonathan Hicks are working together once again on a roleplaying game follow-up to the awesome Those Dark Places. Can you handle the Pressure?
Pressure: Industrial Science Fiction Roleplaying // Osprey Games
Much like Those Dark Places, Pressure is a rules-light and story-focused roleplaying game which expands on both the mechanics and setting that we first saw in Those Dark Places. Rather than playing as a motley crew destined to fly through the darkness, you take on the role of members of the Special Operations Squad who have been tasked with cleaning up after the Corporations.
"...investigating links to organised crime, neutralising rogue weapons research, negotiating with rebel leaders on orbital stations, and hunting down whatever that black-budget excavation team 'awoke' out in the Procyon Sector."
Forget the wrenches and the makeshift weapons and instead pick up some deadly weaponry to combat your foes. As a big fan of Those Dark Places, I am eagerly awaiting Pressure, especially as it also features more great artwork by Nathan J. Anderson.

I really enjoyed the stories you recorded with those dark places. and the price of the book was so small I had to have it at UKGE. a nice little book to have on the RPG and Wargames rulebook shelf
