The Black Rainbow Society

A rubber reality spin-off

of the Hell Night RPG setting

Do I need the Hell Night corebook to play this game? 

The book includes the streamlined and minimal Hell Night 2d6 system shared by Warpland and Neurocity. This is spin-off from Hell Night that can work stand alone or as an expansion that adds depth and a new game experience, emphasizing innovative mechanics and narrative proposals which break the fourth wall of the game session and dilute Player/Character differentiation. 

Is this an artbook or a game book?

The features literature, poetry, essays, quotes, random tables. plot hooks and a whole array of visual stimuli designed specifically to provoke an unstoppable desire to immerse yourself in this 80´s rock & roll rollercoaster. It also provides missions, plot hooks, random events, personal drives, and a robust system which will pretty much guide your sessions through a surreal tour de force!

What kind of technique were used to create this work?

Black Rainbow Society has been created with dadaist cut-up techniques and various meditative states. The book is a melting pot of 80s cultural references, featuring collages, art interventions, doodles, photography, old newspapers, and fragments of various media that will deliver an intoxicating kaleidoscopic vision for the reader, recreating a lysergic experience while providing insight into our setting. The game has been tested in a currently active campaign with my playgroup Los Caoticos (playtesters of Neurocity, Warpland, Sygil, & Hell Night.)

What are the inspirations behind the book?

Main inspirations are SCANNERS, HELLRAISER, THE LOST BOYS, INTO THE MOUTH OF MADNESS and the writings of WILLIAM BURROUGHS, the true godfather of this work. References to books, movies and art culture from the 80´s plague this book. A melting pot of heavy metal and punk cultural references that will set the tone for a quest beyond the final frontier: The Mind.
