Marked

A thriller/horror RPG that just uses a single deck of playing cards. A game about a group, marked for death, on the run from a subjugating dark force.

The Dark Ones have won. There are no more heroes. 

The world has fallen into subjugation. Even though it has only been a few years and life may not have changed drastically for some, all labor now serves the Dark Ones.

Crime as we know it is seldom policed, for acts that darken a person also produce fruit for the new masters. When someone has stained their being with one or more atrocities, a Mark later appears on their face, without warning. This is a mark of sacrifice, denoting someone whose darkness is ripe for harvesting. Everyone knows this, and many are willing to submit to the Dark Ones' acolytes and leave this miserable world.

This is not a story about those many. This is a story about the few defiant ones that found themselves marked and held on to hope. Although just rumors, they have a lead to how they can escape their grim judgment.

But the Dark Ones are possessive of their slaves and after sensing the characters' spark of defiance, they have sent Reapers to hunt and reclaim their sacrifices.

Will the Marked be able to evade the Reapers and find means to escape their fate? One thing is for certain, they will need each other to survive.
