Shadowlight & Personae RPG (S&P) - Basic Game

Explore the threshold between the world you thought you knew and the worlds that really are...

Shadowlight & Personae is a game of exploring liminal and esoteric mysteries and metaphysical revelations. You play curious people intrigued by mysterious phenomena and circumstances, captivated and driven to seek out and reveal the truths hidden within them. Groups can follow the game creation process to devise settings of their own design, or use one of several campaign frames, or "Tricks of Shadowlight", to help jump-start play. 

Explore: unravel mysteries, solve puzzles, and decrypt myth, metaphor, riddles & prophecy

Question: evince fact from the preconceived, unearth the established, the accepted & the expected

Illuminate: discover the concealed, reveal what's hidden, and elucidate truth from beneath the dissembled

The omniverse of Shadowlight & Personae is a

meta-setting: a collection of settings where each is a monad, or individual universe

meta-cosmology: a set of common characteristics of how the omniverse is organized and a framework for how the supernatural works in the omniverse’s monads, unique universes;

meta-cosmogony: an explanation for how the omniverse was created; “progenitors”, who may have had a hand in the omniverse’s creation and framing; and how their “grand experiment” resulted in the omniverse’s present-day framework, as well as the involvement of the shiruul, shaleth, and beleshedaux

metaphor: recurring themes of mystery, paradox, and revealing the unknown

Shadowlight & Personae exists on an infinite continuum.  Personae, the game’s rules system, functions as a stage for players to put on the masks that both hide the truth and show it, obscuring and revealing the wondrous, manifold characteristics of the omniverse suffused by Shadowlight in varying shapes, sizes and degrees.
