The streets are no longer safe. Ghosts haunt every shadow, spectres drift through the night, and zombies, goblins, vampires, ghouls, and werewolves prowl in search of their next victim. Fear grips your hometown, but you are not like the others. You know the truth behind the terror. Armed with nothing but your wits, a trusty weapon, and nine dice, you must confront the darkness head-on.

9d6 ScareQuest is a solo procedural horror adventure game that plunges you into a world of chilling suspense. Each roll of the dice brings you closer to victory—or a terrifying end. Will you rise as the town’s savior, or will you be consumed by the the things that lurk in the shadows?

Are you brave enough to face the horrors? Your quest begins now.

This book is a standalone, complete solo pen-and-paper game. To play, you need about 10 six-sided dice, paper, and a pencil. Three adventures are included, with more coming in supplements.

9d6 Quest is a solo dice-management fantasy adventure game.
To play, you need 9 standard, six-sided dice, a pencil, and this book. Optional paper miniatures can be downloaded from our site.

Play as a Knight, Bard, Rogue, Dragonslayer, Thief, Scout, Veteran, Witch-Hunter, Chaos Slayer, Cleric, Barbarian, Mage, or Ranger. Move on 6 different hexmaps, trying to complete 9 different missions for treasure and glory.

The game's central mechanism is dice management. Your hero starts with 9 "Fresh" dice. To perform any action, you can roll any number of dice. The more dice you roll, the higher the likelihood of success... but every die that rolls a 1 is degraded to "Tired". Tired dice are degraded to "Wounded" and Wounded dice, if degraded, are put out of the game. When all your dice are out of the game, you lose.

This is a SOLO game (single player). It is a stand-alone product: no other book is required.

Unique Traits for Unique Heroes

Twisted Traits is a collection of random character traits for the eight core classes found in Four Against Darkness. Each class (warrior, wizard, cleric, halfling, dwarf, elf, rogue, barbarian) has a d20 list of traits, and a list of rare traits.

Most traits give a little edge in a specific situation or character development area, or give additional options for combat, magic, social interaction or skill use, or represent rare items the character possesses at the start of the game.

Even if some traits interact with the content of other books, the only required book is a copy of the Four Against Darkness core rules.
