Tabletop & Online Fantasy Role Playing Game
(This website is still under construction – Beta expected to launch 2025)
You awake from a dream so vivid and painful you’re not entirely sure it was a dream. There was a voice powerful and terrible with endless questions that had reshaped your very being, torn you apart and put you back together a thousand times according to your answers. It wasn’t a dream, you’re sure of it. Everything hurts and the pain conjures a memory so faint you cant be certain it’s a memory at all.
Was there a battle and a woman throwing balls of fire? You remember fighting hard along side a band of misfits you had once called friends; and you had fallen in the battle, of that you’re certain. You were a Hero, a warrior of the people you recall. Did you really die? Why are you alive now? There was someone else, another voice – smooth and comforting, yet false and plotting; they had sold you the clothes upon your back and the weapons in your hands. They seemed pleased, a little too pleased in your decision.
A light blinds you as you step forwards into the world, into a town bustling with life. Eyes turn to meet you, some children run away at your sight. Who are you? Where are you…and why does it feel like this has happened many times before…
Enter Irithay – The Dark Past world
What is Dark Past?
Dark Past is a Fantasy Role Playing Game that can be played online (via your video conferencing application of choice) or by table top (with paper character sheets) or in person using mobile phones for your character sheet.
Dark Past offers the unique experience of everything under one roof – once you’ve registered your free tier account and created a character you can join your friends and your storyteller and jump straight into the game – no third party apps, no additional downloads – everything is here in the Dark Past ecosystem. Dark Past accounts are free for a single character and offer access to the basic version of the Corebook rules. Many different paid upgrade options are available and offer lots of expansion such as:
Dark Past is set on the world of Irithay on the continent of Andea, a seemingly endless expanse of Forests, Plains, Mountains, Lakes, Villages, Towns and everything in between. A land rich with intelligent species, giant monsters, creatures and nature of infinite varieties. You enter the land at a time of great strife, the land split into 3 sides determined to find a path through to victory, peace or destruction.
Band together with your friends in a party of missfits and choose a side – are you heading down the path of light? The path of darkness? Or are you travelling somewhere down the middle with your morals somewhat a little grey…
20 years in the making (we’re nearly there!)
After 20 long years we’re nearly in beta (crazy i know!) – after countless re designs, re shuffles, re writes (sometimes starting from scratch) we’ve finally climbed the hill of creativity towards our goal. Written by James Douglas, David Angell and Craig Whiffin, Dark Past has been a passion project for so long we can hardly believe it’s nearly ready for you to play.
