# Grim Tokens: Journeys in the Astra Obscura
Drift into Astra Obscura, a cynic's sanctuary for solo and co-op tabletop gaming, where we stoically navigate the vast, inky reaches of science fiction and fantasy role-play. Expect detailed journeys through dimly-lit galaxies like **[Five Parsecs from Home](https://www.modiphius.net/en-us/products/five-parsecs-from-home)** and **[Ironsworn: Starforged](https://www.ironswornrpg.com/product-ironsworn-starforged)**, spun from dice rolls and delivered with an enthusiasm as dry as Martian soil. From actual play write-ups to haunting video records, our offerings are as diverse as they are disquieting. So buckle up, interstellar voyager. In this solitary expanse, you're not just playing a game — you're confronting the cosmic unknown.

## What is this, anyway?
You have entered what is commonly referred to as a [[digital-garden|digital garden]] – but we're going somewhat beyond what is traditionally thought of as one. It's a hybrid of posts about *actual play* of tabletop games combined with a wiki which provides easy access to finding everything that's been created about a given topic on the site. Plus smaller [[thoughts]] as well as more developed [[articles]].
It's a delicate web of ideas, experiences, and mechanisms.
You're in it.
