Light and Dark - custom modular mechanics

A set of simple game mechanics dealing with lighting conditions, presented in a module that can be easily fit into any fantasy roleplaying game system. This module is aimed at making the darkness feel like a palpable threat, so as to enhance the horror feel of dungeon delving, or in other contexts where light conditions are relevant for a game's atmosphere. Included are four  magic items that use this simple ruleset and further expand on it.

The Light Dice is inspired by the Usage Dice from the Black Hack (https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/255088/The-Black-Hack-Second-Edition) and especially by the game FLEAUX! By Kobayashi (https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/384686/Fleaux) for its Willpower mechanic. This was initially an additional rule for FLEAUX! specifically, but I developed it as a system designed for any fantasy adventure roleplaying game.

This module is system agnostic: it can be easily attached to any game where spooky atmospheres and light are an important part in the flavour of the game.

Protect your Light Dice from sudden drafts and air currents, and pray that its radiance doesn't dwindle,  leaving you at the mercy of the encroaching darkness.
