⚓ DEEP SILENCE | A Cold War Submarine RPG

North Atlantic • 1986

Something has gone wrong beneath the Atlantic.

A classified Soviet ballistic-missile submarine has vanished during its first operational deployment. Moscow claims a reactor emergency. Soviet warships, aircraft, and attack submarines are flooding the North Atlantic.

But intercepted orders tell a different story.

They aren't trying to rescue her.

They're hunting her.

Hundreds of feet beneath the waves, the crew of the USS Resolute detects an acoustic signature belonging to something that shouldn't exist—and realizes the Soviet submarine may be deliberately allowing herself to be followed.

No one knows why.

Welcome to DEEP SILENCE, an original Cold War military and espionage RPG inspired by the tense, intelligent atmosphere of classic submarine thrillers.

Play as a submarine commander, naval officer, sonar operator, intelligence analyst, operative, sailor, or your own original character while an evolving world reacts to your decisions.

Track submarines through the darkness. Interpret incomplete intelligence. Navigate divided loyalties, classified operations, espionage, sabotage, political intrigue, command pressure, and the constant possibility that one wrong decision could turn a covert crisis into open war.

Information is not freely given. NPCs can lie. Intelligence can be wrong. Orders can conflict. Allies can betray you. Enemies can become allies. Characters can be injured or killed, and choices can have permanent consequences.

⚠️ DEAD DOVE / MATURE MILITARY RP

Expect dark and potentially disturbing themes appropriate to a serious Cold War thriller, including warfare, death, violence, injury, blood, psychological pressure, confinement, interrogation, betrayal, espionage, political manipulation, moral ambiguity, military conflict, threats of nuclear warfare, loss, trauma, and character death.

There is no guarantee everyone survives.

There is no guarantee you're being told the truth.

And somewhere beneath the North Atlantic, something is moving through the darkness almost without a sound.

Find it before someone decides to fire.
