between characters that negatively impacts the
enjoyment of the game, the GM should step in and talk

better to let the story of the group continue, instead of
persisting to a character's individual beliefs or goals
(even if such endeavors sometimes can be of great
fun).

Scene
A scene is an undetermined period of time that
consists of the same characters or part of the story.
You can think of it like a scene in a movie. It can be an
uneventful visit to the local tavern, or a meeting with
the sinister Baron that develops into an epic fight for

life and death.

If the characters should flee from a fight, it could turn

into a new scene, where the characters instead are
chased by their enemies.
If the rules say that something lasts a scene it will last
until the scene is over or until you change the setting.
You have to have a sense of logic though. If the scene
is a montage through 100 years of endlessly fighting a
horde of children from a great mother, your ability that
makes you “immortal for the rest of the scene” won’t
be active the whole time.
If the rules tell you to “advance distance”, go to the Commonality

consider the starting distance to be intimate. Gear is an important part of Astro Inferno and it comes in five tiers of “rarity”.

Dice
You’ll need dice to play this game. D6, D8, D10, D12

knows right? And dice are lots of fun.
The D20 is the most utalized dice in the game and you
will be rolling this all the time.
D66
Astro Inferno also utilizes the Satanic D66. This is
rolled with two D6, one predetermined to be the ten,
one the singular value. The result is a number between
11 and 66 with a total of 36 outcomes with a straight
belle curve, giving the D66 a totally unfair and sadistic
preference for results around 33-44.

Astro Inferno has a deep lore that delves into
religion, myth and science. This is divided into
four sections that we here call Origins. They
are so much more than origins but for
simplicity's sake we explain them like that.
Harrowed
Consisting of the Satanic Court, the fallen angels who
fell with Satan from the heavens. They are beings of
“True Unlight”.
Satan
The devoid dark lord himself
The 7 Kings
The most powerful of the fallen angels
who rule them all.
The Satanic princes
Each responsible for one of the 69 dominions
in the black kingdom.
Harrowed tech comes from the Abyss or the Beyond
and is of Satanic origin. They have infernal properties
and evil sinister abilities and consist of materials like
flesh, bone or even living organs and are
often alive or even sentient and
can have souls trapped
inside.

 TRUE UNLIGHT The Fallen Angels & the Satanic Court
The rulers of Fracture are entities of “True unlight”. The twisted deranged entities were once
angels who fell from the heavens together with their forsaken leader, the Day star.
Beings of True Unlight are depraved and corrupted, inverted angels and have amassed the
powers of gods and use this power for purely personal gain.
Timeline of Fracture
History keeping is not the strong suit of the cursed and simple inhabitants of Fracture. And even if the
Satanic church keeps thousands of books on the history of Fracture, there are so many versions of it,
written by power hungry Satanic Princes, Marquises and Earls, that it is impossible to figure out
what is true or lie.
What is known is that Fracture has existed for at least 1000 years. Sometime during
these 1000 years the leader of the fallen angels, the Black Emperor, slipped out of
existence and his followers were cast into a power vacuum, issuing the Great
Dark, that lasted for many generations and spawned both gods of myth and
primordial beings of life and death.

Present
Ever since Satan departed from Fracture the power of the
Satanic Unlaw decreased and human souls started to
have more control of their lives and something of a
medieval society has eventually sprung out of what
used to be pure chaos, pain, suffering and
eternal carnage.

Fracture have now reached an

equilibrium where the Fallen
angels (True Unlight) and the
Ancients (Golden Blooded )

 Souls The bulk of inhabitants of Fracture are called souls. Most have all been
human at one time but many have lost their humanity as time and
darkness has ravaged their minds. Most souls are called Corrupted or
Soiled and live a despicable afterlife in Fracture governed by their lusts
and fears. But there are six special kinds of souls in Fracture, each with
a different corporeal form, carrying their own damned fate.

Undying Dark Soul Satanic Entity Liliths

Few in numbers, the Undying, are the surviving actual
humans from Earth 2688. To the Undying, the Rapture
happened roughly 10 years ago, some even saw it with
their own eyes. This is something that goes against
everything all other souls know, since for them
Fracture have existed for at least 1000 years.
Most Undying were astronauts, colonists or scientists
living off-world when the stars and planets started to
crumble into dust. Most Undying have lived through
the Great fog that followed, inside a halting space
station seeing resources and supplies slowly decline
over the years. Only the most resourceful Undying
Quickplay rules - Not final
Dark souls are human souls who have been tainted by
dark powers. They share a connection with different
entities from the Beyond and are often feared by other
souls or even beings of True Unlights because of
this.
Dark souls are inclined to a destiny as
mystics or witches and often live isolated
lives outside main settlements. Dark
souls often know more about this
existence from their visions and
whispers and never hesitate to
use this to their own advantage.
Highly corrupted human souls who often grow in size
and become demonic beings with unproportional
bodies and infernal aspects. They are monsters and
often develop demon-like abilities, making them more
like the fallen angels than other souls.
In general, souls avoid contact with Satanic
Entities since their presence often
foreshadows violence and death. The
Satanic Entities are the only kind of
soul that the Satanic court
tolerates without prejudice and

have survived and stepped out of their station and in a
way or another found their way into “another location”
and into the society of Fracture.
Undying are seen as exotics by the Satanic court who
love to sacrifice the fragile sons of Adam in vulgar
ceremonial displays of power, and turn them into
corrupted souls.
Unique Truths about the Undying
• Need to eat and drink to survive
• Needs to breathe to survive
• Takes serious damage from vacuum
• Seen as “innocence”, when it
comes to sacrifice and rituals
• Considered ugly and revolting by True Unlight
• Have earth names instead
of demon and angel names
Many greater Dark souls are
also recruited by the Satan-
ic court to help with mystical
or arcane dealings.
Nano Suits
Nano suits are human souls who
have been infected by the Red dust of
the REGENESIS, but somehow created a
symbiotic relationship with it.
Outward they are regular souls but within
their cells, nano machines work and give them
special bodies or minds. Nano suits say they have sever-
al psyches reasoning in parallel, calculating every micro-
second what their best course of action is. They call it
glitches and Nano suits swear by it.

celebrated as heroes and
champions.
Genesis Machines
Some of the machines back on
earth were, digitized or organically,
equipped with human souls. Some of
these machines have been disconnect-
ed from the Genesis complex and are
restarted into a new existence.
They are huge, often tranquil robotic lifeforms,
trying to find a place to fit in, while figuring out
their humanity inside their machine bodies. Genesis
Machines are despised by the Satanic court and
persecuted whenever given the chance. This despise
has in many cases spread to other souls making
hostilities against them common, in most settlements
of Fracture.

 Don’t
The Masquerade

Society
Souls gather in communities trying to survive the
corruption, the horrors, and the twisted Unlaw that
rule this wretched place. They live a medieval life in
small settlements or cities. Could be as mundane as
an old space station converted into a village, an old
mythic castle reused as a small city or it can be as the
more evolved legendary cities of Citadel or Babylon
with hundreds of thousands of souls.
It's an ever going event, making the masks, putting
dirt in your face, to avoid the beatings and the torture.
A few manage by only playing fools, some fools don't
play well enough. The fallen know of course. They see
what we are, what we try to do. It's a game for them,
pretending to be oblivious, pretending to not see, our
fears, our Masquerade.
The same can be said of evolution and development, as
a greater soul in Fracture you better not invent or build
something to fancy or you are often buying your way
into an eternal torture chamber. Most luxurious
commodities are confiscated by the Court, the Legion
or the Church if they get the chance and ownership of
too expensive stuff can be punished harshly, depending
on the owner’s status.

The Despair
Some settlements have electricity and some even use
technology of the genesis, but because of the dangers
of being infected by genesis horrors and the general
decay of the Unlaw, many settlements stay at a
ridiculously low development level.
Stones are being sold and traded for wood
splinters and drinking pee is regarded as
normal because “the water makes
everyone too sick”.
Civilized life
Quickplay rules - Not final
Time
Time in Fracture is subjective and different for every
location, but in general the day has 24 hours where
light sets at night and rises at day. The week has seven
days and a month about 30 and there are 12 months
each year. Christmas is
often canceled
though.
All souls live under what is commonly known as the
“Masquerade”. In it’s very essence it is about the fallen
angels feeling offended by souls looking too human.
This sickens them and reminds them of their time
being divine angels.
So the True unlight and their most devoted disciples
often actively hunt for souls who look uncorrupted like
the Undying, young children or Rare bloods. Often it is
enough to just “try your best” to follow the
masquerade to be left alone by the Court. The
exception is very clean or beautiful looking human souls
whose innocence is a pet-peeve for the satanic beings
to corrupt and destroy.
Infrastructure
Both souls and fallen angels hunger for pleasure, their
own survival and their lives are often governed by fear.
Traveling between locations is something that only is
attempted in dire need, because of the risks involved.
Some beings can use abilities and rituals to communi-
cate, spy or create portals between locations, but
other than that, no large scale infrastructure exists
between locations. They are separated by a barrier of
infernal mysticism. Messages are often sent with
messengers, traveling in harrowed relic ships or
ancient artifact vessels.

Quickplay rules - Not final

Many greater souls gather
resources from around their
communities and sometime
manufacture and sell gods
or even farm or keep cattle,
within their communities. You
can find taverns and local
stores in even the most inferior
settlements where greater souls
try to make despair less perilous.
NICE IMAGE GOES HERE
All souls and the Fallen enjoy eating and
drinking. For those lucky fools who still
have a throat and a stomach, food is
among the most valuable commodities, but
not many souls need nurishment to survive,
with the exception of the Undying.

Slavery
Some souls are being abducted from their settlements
by slavers or the Church and set to work for the
Satanic court. Enslaved in large industrial
complexes doing the Dark lords horrific tasks
either as punishment for “crimes” or just for the
enjoyment of the Fallen.

Industries of sacrificial chambers, factories of

death and slaughter, unholy rituals and refineries of
legendary or magical resources. These are the last
trickles of the massive Damnation, before the Great
Dark, when ALL souls were tortured in eternities, a
dwindling relic from a past nightmarish age of Fracture. SOME NICE IMAGERY HERE

 Death singers
Death singers are chosen souls who defy the unknown
outside the safe settlements. Their destiny is Death and they
measure their life in verses. Death singers are gifted with a
master: an entity of light or dark or something in between,
that has chosen them as their champion.

The master grants their champions powers and blessings

and even can save them from death. This is something many
masters use as a bargaining tool, to make their “puppet” loyal
Quickplay rules - Not final

Quickplay rules - Not final

and faithful. If the Deathsingers spirit gets too corrupted,
their masters can’t save them and they face True death just
like all other souls.

Being a Death singer puts you in the limelight of all the

powers in Fracture. Souls fear you, True Unlight envy you and
the primordial powers of Eternals and Worm gods are
curious at this peculiar irregularity in their cosmic force.

The eternal adventurers

Death Singers seldom settle down anywhere but live their
unlives exploring Fracture. You find Death Singers in almost
all settlements, traveling, exploring, questing or selling
themselves to the highest bidder as mercenaries.

Death of a Death Singer

When a Death Singer reaches their last verse they
sometimes settle down in a quiet place far away from other
souls and let their final verse ring out. When they go beyond
their final verse their master can’t save them and they turn
into fiends of Fracture, the creatures of unlight.
