Outcome</strong> is a Lightweight Horror Tactics Fantasy TTRPG with wargame influences, in which each player controls a band of pawns: frail but capable agents, directed by the shadowy hand of the<strong> Fifth Order.</strong> Your enemy is <strong><em>Weird</em><em></em></strong>, an inexplicable and alien force that is warping the realm, changing it from a grimly dark world of imperial rule into a fantastical domain of wild magic and terrible creatures. </p> <p>Take to the shadows and fight the cults, guilds and secret societies that seek to profit from the bizarre changes and power that <em><strong>Weird </strong></em>brings; face terrible monsters that roam the world as if they have always been here, and prepare to lose life and sanity trying to stop fearsome <strong>Wizards</strong>, reality-bending demigods in human flesh whose uninhibited ambitions eat away at the world. Keep <strong><em>Weird</em><em> </em><em></em><em></em></strong>away from the people, for knowing it only makes it spread faster and become "normal" sooner. </p> <p>The game features a lethal and fast-moving combat system, and encourages player ingenuity and resourcefulness to avoid the harsh outcomes of said combat. Beyond physical wounds, players must also deal with the effects of Stress on their pawns; burdening them with crippling afflictions and causing them to become fearful and unreliable in the face of mounting peril. Make clever plans, use everything you have at your disposal, and take every advantage you can get — lest you find yourself helplessly watching your <strong>band</strong>, and the world, succumb to <strong>The Darkest Outcome</strong>. </p> <p>The game comes in two compact booklets. A 5-page Player Booklet gives players all the rules they need to play the game, as well as a healthy selection of pawn roles and equipment to make their own unique band. The DM booklet has 13 pages of advice, example monsters, a simple scenario to kick things off, and rules for campaign play.</p> <p> The only other things you need are a handful of six-sided dice, some scrap paper and pencils, 1-3 people you like and trust, and an interest in minimal systems that rely on the GM to set up a fun scenario, and the fiction to carry it through. Miniatures, battle maps, virtual tabletops and other paraphernalia are optional, but absolutely not necessary.</p></div><div class="more_information_toggle"><div class="toggle_row"><a class="toggle_info_btn" href="javascript:void(0)">More information<svg role="img" width="12" viewBox="0 0 37 20" class="svgicon icon_down_tick" height="6" aria-hidden version="1.1"><path d="m2.0858 0c-1.1535 0-2.0858 0.86469-2.0858 1.9331 0 0.5139 0.21354 1.0183 0.38704 1.1881l18.113 16.879 18.112-16.879c0.174-0.1696 0.388-0.674 0.388-1.1879 0-1.0684-0.932-1.9331-2.086-1.9331-0.577 0-1.111 0.23008-1.49 0.57992l-14.924 13.894-14.925-13.893c-0.3777-0.34998-0.9134-0.581-1.4902-0.581z"/></svg></a></div><div class="info_panel_wrapper"><div class="game_info_panel_widget base_widget" id="game_info_panel_3951119"><table><tbody><tr><td>Status</td><td><a href="https://itch.io/physical-games/released">Released</a></td></tr><tr><td>Category</td><td><a href="https://itch.io/physical-games">Physical game</a></td></tr><tr><td>Author</td><td><a href="https://orbitalcrypt.itch.io">Orbital Crypt</a></td></tr><tr><td>Tags</td><td><a href="https://itch.io/physical-games/tag-dice">Dice</a>, <a href="https://itch.io/physical-games/tag-fantasy">Fantasy</a>, <a href="https://itch.io/physical-games/tag-fkr">fkr</a>, <a href="https://itch.io/physical-games/tag-horror">Horror</a>, <a href="https://itch.io/physical-games/tag-indie">Indie</a>, <a href="https://itch.io/physical-games/tag-osr">OSR</a>, <a href="https://itch.io/physical-games/tag-tabletop">Tabletop</a>, <a href="https://itch.io/physical-games/tag-tactical">Tactical</a>, <a href="https://itch.io/physical-games/tag-ttrpg">Tabletop role-playing game</a>, <a href="https://itch.io/physical-games/tag-two-player">Two Player</a></td></tr><tr><td>Average session</td><td><a href="https://itch.io/physical-games/duration-hours">A few hours</a></td></tr><tr><td>Multiplayer</td><td><a href="https://itch.io/physical-games/local-multiplayer">Local multiplayer</a></td></tr><tr><td>Links</td><td><a rel="nofollow noopener" href="https://orbitalcrypt.blogspot.com/">Blog</a></td></tr></tbody></table></div></div></div><h2 id="download">Download</h2><div class="buy_row"><div class="button_message"><a class="button buy_btn" href="https://orbitalcrypt.itch.io/the-darkest-outcome/purchase">Download Now</a><span class="buy_message"><span class="sub">Name your own price</span></span></div></div><div class="uploads"><p>Click download now to get access to the following files:</p><div class="upload_list_widget base_widget" id="upload_list_9952824"><div class="upload"><div class="info_column"><div class="upload_name"><strong class="name" title="The Darkest Outcome -
