Industrial Science Fiction Roleplaying

A science fiction roleplaying game of bringing law and order to the dark and dangerous corners of the universe.

Pressure: Industrial Science Fiction Roleplaying is a rules-light, story-focused game of facing the darkness at the heart of humanity's fragile and claustrophobic existence - both on Earth and among the stars. An entirely standalone title, Pressure also develops and expands upon the mechanics and setting introduced in the Those Dark Places roleplaying game.

As highly skilled agents of Special Operations Squads, players are 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…

The universe is a dangerous and hostile place; the Hypercities and the Deep Black alike hide powerful foes. But you have the tools, the training, and the resources to face these dangers… you hope.

• Standalone rulebook: It does not require another game to play-it's a full title by itself.
• Rules-light mechanics: Designed for fast setup and play, emphasising story over heavy crunch.
• Setting focus: Players act as Special Operations Agents cleaning up corporate messes, battling rogue weapons research, negotiating with rebels, investigating crime, etc.
