This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | Dark Future was a tabletop miniature wargame produced by Games Workshop and originally published in 1988. The game was successful enough for Games Workshop to commission a series of novels based on the setting. These started out with the short story anthology Route 666, and was relatively short-lived; the best-known and remembered being the trilogy of novels written by horror novelist and film critic Kim Newman under the pen name Jack Yeovil. These expanded significantly on the background and setting provided in the 1988 rulebook and mixed in elements from horror and played with various well-known Dystopia tropes while mixing in a healthy dose of pop-culture references, Alternate History jokes and cameos from other fictional properties. Although GW have never done anything with the game, Newman's novels (much like his Warhammer Fantasy Battle works involving Genevieve the Vampire), remained popular enough to survive beyond the lifespan of the game and have been republished by Black Library, though the final installment of his Demon Download series, United States Cavalry remains unpublished. |
