From the back of the book:
The Golgotha. Even the names conjure images of wonder and great danger: the Paradox Spire, the Grove, the Resurrection Hive, the Delphia, the Glass Labyrinth...
Travel far beyond the bloated worlds of the inner machine planets, past the verdant and colourful pleasure worlds, past the worn out military rings where sanctioned wars rage endlessly, past even the fringe systems where separatists build their power, on into the outer dark where other races more ancient than humanity have long held sway, that is where the Golgotha lie, ancient relics of long-dead empires. These mausoleums hold the secrets of unknown inhuman cultures within their echoing halls, riddled with countermeasures and deadly remains, not to mention bizarre alien species that have taken residence since the builders left. Why go there? Because waiting there is ancient, lost technology - technology that the Overseers, caretakers of the Human Sphere, covet. Steal enough from the tombs and the Overseers in exchange will boost your body and mind, making you more than human, more than enough to complete your destiny.
Welcome to the future. Golgotha is a game of exploration and danger in mysterious, dead installations at the edges of humanity’s interstellar sphere. The players take on the roles of a crew of Scavengers who seek out, penetrate and rob these ancient lost structures, known collectively as the Golgotha. To those lucky enough to survive the risks, artifacts await – lost technology that the mysterious Overseers who rule the Human Sphere covet. Find something of value and in return the Overseers will boost your body, allowing you to finally seek that revenge you have always dreamed of...
Complete your destiny, or die trying.
An OSR game of exploration and discovery using the Black Hack.
