It all began on Christmas Eve 1994. Dark waters gushed from the ground, flooding our homes and our lives, and turning the surrounding countryside into a muddy swamp. They say it came from the depths of the Loop, that the abandoned machines were unlocked and caused the Disaster, the giant flood. Whatever its origin, the Flood changed our lives forever. Nothing will ever be the same again...
It's the 1990s and the Loop has been shut down, the experiments abandoned and the land bought up by Krafta, a powerful corporation. Now, no one knows what goes on in the bowels of the Loop, but observers have noted a steady stream of trucks coming and going, despite the official shutdown of the center's activities.
During the 1990s, an unprecedented disaster struck your city, transforming meadows and fields into dark, foul-smelling swamps. Some believe that the waters that flooded the land came from the Loop itself, from an experiment that went wrong, or from corrupted machines and computers that had become dangerous. Since then, strange things have emerged from the dark waters, and noises can be heard at night in the surrounding woods...
As a teenager, you continue your life going to school, experiencing your first high school romances, and fighting boredom. But when you hear about unexplained disappearances and one of your classmates is found dead, you realize it's time to take action.
Somehow, you must discover what else the Loop hides in its depths.
Things from the Flood is both a supplement for Tales from the Loop AND a standalone game.
Things from the Flood is a complete role-playing game that is an excellent entry point into the world of the Loop.
It extends the game period to the 1990s and allows you to play the same children, but older. So you can play your characters from Tales from the Loop and continue writing their story, or create new ones. You'll find everything you need to play in the Things from the Flood book, so you don't need the Tales from the Loop book to start your first mysteries.
If you've already played Tales from the Loop, you'll immediately recognize the game system and the construction of the Mysteries. Things from the Flood simply expands the universe and provides new Mysteries and new threats to face. There are a few simple new rules that reflect the danger present in Things from the Flood.
