Against the Darkness (2006)

" "Against the Darkness is a role-playing game which assumes a vast Vatican conspiracy organized to protect humanity from supernatural forces. Tabletop Adventures, LLC released the game in electronic or print on demand format in 2006."

From the publisher "An exciting game of modern Vatican horror, conspiracy and investigation in which demons, ghosts and vampires exist to torment and feed upon an unprepared humanity. The only defense is a small and steadily shrinking cadre of holy defenders. The heroes can be Modern Templars, Treasure Seekers, Dispassionate Experts, Sacred Hunters, Blessed Non-believers or others, who face unspeakable evil with only faith, knowledge, and miraculous powers to keep them alive.

This simple, easy-to-learn roleplaying game will suit the needs of both experienced roleplayers looking for the thrill of demon-hunting and atmospheric horror and players looking for an accessible system in which to learn the art of the game. Tabletop Adventures' 4-6-8 dice system encourages team play and increases character interaction.

The player characters are members of an elite group of priests and other personnel who hunt evil and battle the forces of darkness, bringing light and strength to a threatened world. Adventures can take the characters anywhere, from a desert mission in Africa to a split-level in suburbia, but no mission is ever accomplished without cost. Despite the miraculous powers and soul-searing knowledge the heroes wield, combat with a true demon is a terrifying proposition. Death, crippling injury and insanity are all more-than-likely outcomes of a mission.""
