Welcome to the TWILIGHT WORLD, a place like and yet unlike our own, whose history is a darkened fun-house mirror of ours. Here, the monsters are real.
Set in the Twilight World’s 1980s, Party First explores this darkened universe through the lens of the continent-spanning communist USRA. Will you be a government bureaucrat, a Party true believer, a military special agent, a folk occultist, a black-market smuggler, or something else entirely? The choice is yours, but when the darkness comes knocking, your loyalty must be to the Party first.
With this book and a set of six-sided dice you have everything you need to play: an overview of the Twilight World and how the USRA came to be, a wealth of occupations and skills, a chapter of tips on running horror games, and two standalone starter adventures.
