Roll the dice
When something is risky, roll 2d10 + Attribute against a difficulty.
Explore
Investigate ruins by zones, collect clues, spend light, and manage supplies.
Survive the Veil
Magic, relics, and anomalies offer power, but they always leave a mark.
Discover the truth
You do not progress by killing monsters. You progress through secrets, decisions, and survival.
Core rule
A simple mechanic for dangerous decisions
Nightfall Dominion uses a direct base: two ten-sided dice, one attribute, and a consequence. The rules exist to support exploration, tension, and difficult choices.

Game identity
Why is it different?
You are not a hero
You are a person trying to survive a broken world. The world does not revolve around you.
There are no hit points
Wounds are light, severe, critical, or mortal. Surviving does not mean leaving intact.
You do not win by killing
The real rewards are clues, secrets, maps, relics, prestige, and dangerous truths.
Magic has a cost
Every ritual, relic, or anomaly can bring Fatigue, Corruption, or memory loss.
The Veil transforms
Corruption is not only punishment: it is temptation, power, loss, and irreversible change.
Truth wounds
A revelation can change a faction, destroy faith, or turn an enemy into a guardian.
