Greetings!
This is a table-top role-playing game set in the world of Neil Gaiman's
novel (and television series) Neverwhere. These pages have all
you
need to learn the basics of West End Games' D6 system, create your own
characters, and run adventures in the Underside.
Setting
The world of Neverwhere exists parallel, aside, and under our
own. In the subway systems, forgotten sewer tunnels, the shade of
alleys, and the corner of your eye, a whole population of folk eke out
a daily existence in a world full of magic, danger and endless,
swirling
surprises. These "underdwellers" pass invisible, right in front
of
our eyes, acknowledged for only a split second, but never recognized
nor
remembered. In their world, favors form the only real currency,
alliances
shift with the hours, and survival requires wits, brawn and more than a
little luck.
Say goodbye to your boring, mindless job, your bland little cubicle, and your safe predictable life. You've just fallen beneath the cracks of the everyday world and into the shadows of the Underside.
Welcome to Neverwhere. If you can survive the first day, you just might make it a week...
Site Contents:
The book Neverwhere is copyright Neil Gaiman, the TV series was copyright to the BBC, and this site is wholly unauthorized and exists "in the cracks of reality only by sufferance" of those nice folks. (That is a bit of futher plagerism directly from Neil himself. Thanks Neil!)
The gaming system is copyright West
End Games, who worked hard to create this fine system and are still
producing great games. Go buy some and keep them in business.
I highly recommend that you go out and pick up some West
End Games products. They have a number of PDF-version games
on sale now at RPGNow as well. This will fill in numerous gaps in
the system and help you flesh out your D6 campaign.
Also, Final Sword
Publications produces the Psibertroopers
role-playing game based on D6. You might find their rules
for psionics useful for Neverwhere (or you might just like playing
their game by itself!).
