About Darklight Interactive

Darklight Interactive is an ENnie-nominated RPG publisher headquartered in Miami, Florida.

Originally, Darklight Interactive ("DLI" for short) was founded as a developer of alternate reality games and online transmedia experiences, launching with the alternate reality game Looking Glass Laboratories in 2009. At the time we were also developing a large scale ARG called Rachel's Walk, which did not launch but ended up being the foundation for our 5th Edition D&D campaign The Coming Dark.

Since then, it has switched gears and become an ENnie-nominated publisher of RPG gontent for Dungeons and Dragons 5th Edition, Pathfinder, and other systems.

We are currently developing multiple products, including our post-apocalyptic roleplaying system Atomic Age as well as our campaign for 5th Edition The Coming Dark.

"Omne Ignotum Pro Magnifico"

Our slogan, "omne ignotum pro magnifico" - Latin, loosely translating to "everything unknown is taken as magnificent" - is originally from the book Agricola (Book 1, 30, published AD 98) by Publius Cornelius Tacitus, a Roman historian and politician. It has also appeared in the works of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, specicially in the Sherlock Holmes short story The Red-Headed League, published in 1891.

A little more appropriately, it has appeared as the motto for the George Underwood Edwards Institute of Technology ("G.U.E. Tech", for short), the university that serves as the primary setting for the Infocom text adventure The Lurking Horror.
