Blessed Night.


Shapeless I drift through the wind, terrible are my thoughts, driven by hunger and delightful madness. A whirl of images swirl around at my rapacious descent into the midst of city lights; what mind can I penetrate to feast upon? A baby, caressed by its Mother, enter a building. I follow; hovering over the little one as we ascend to the living quarters. Slowly down the hallway, we go; my moment has come. It whimpers with a strengthless struggle, as I delve into its mind. By morning only its empty shell will be left.



The TTRPG show STYGIAN GATE was a show run by TABLESTORY. The system being used for this show is Unknow Armies 2nd Edition. At this point, Stygian Gate is already finished being aired live, but YouTube VODs and Twitch VODs are available.


Everything appears to be normal, yet everything feels off. The cast members are  confronted with strange occurrences and, with each step they feel the evermore increasing pressure. The Guest GM, back in the natural habitat, dims the lights and leaves the players with choices which will only intensify the darkness. A very interesting show and I can only recommend giving it a watch.

For Your Information:

  • The Nocturnals (Nocturne enthusiasts) recommend watching NOCTURNE first, and when the 22nd episode (“Cup of Joe”) has been viewed, then one can watch Stygian Gate. This way one will avoid any idea or system spoils for Nocturne, if one has not watched it yet.

  • This is not mandatory, only for people who want to dive a little deeper. You can take the Aptitude test, located on the The Garun Institute website, before diving into Stygian Gate. Don't forget to screenshot your result.
