Tribe 8: Tribes in the Dark

For the past year, Dream Pod 9 has been working to update the old scanned version Tribe 8 ebooks available on DriveThruRPG to new high quality electronic versions. Now, we are pleased to announce plans to bring Tribe 8 to a new generation of gamers.

The Tribe 8 RPG was first released in 1998 and became a cult classic. Its post-apocalyptic, dark fantasy setting was presented through a line of twenty-three books, including a second edition. The game chronicled the rise and tribulations of the Fallen – outcasts from the society created by the demi-goddesses known as the Fatimas – in the wake of humanity’s liberation from enslavement by demonic beings called the Z’bri.

The new game line will leverage the Forged in the Dark system to bring more player agency and narrative focused play to the beloved world of Vimary. With planned conversion appendix to allow use of the older Tribe 8 books with the new system. The DP9 external design team consists of longtime fans with a deep knowledge of the game’s lore combined with extensive design experience. They include Wil Hutton (lead writer), Logan Rollins (setting writer & outreach), Oscar Simmons (producer), and Chris Czerniak (project manager).  Wil has years of experience running Tribe 8, as well as Forged in the Dark games, and has maintained a long-running game design blog focused on Tribe 8 and narrative games in general. Logan hosts and produces The Story Told RPG Podcast, and has experience with Tribe 8 as well as World of Darkness games. Chris is a regular on several convention circuits, and has run some of the earliest iterations of Tribes in the Dark. Together, they are working to capture the visceral world of Tribe 8 within the contemporary framework of Forged in the Dark.

Look for the Tribes in the Dark Quick Start Playtest coming soon from Dream Pod 9, and dive into the ravaged future of Tribe 8.
