Mongoose Acquires Dark Conspiracy - Coming 2026!

[Mongoose_Matt]

Last week Mongoose Publishing acquired all rights to the Dark Conspiracy RPG, the classic game pitting players against an ancient and alien horror.

There will be a lot more news in due course, but we are delighted to say that Dark Conspiracy slides right into a project we have been working on and off for nearly two decades - indeed, it will be the final component needed to bring everything together.

Expect to see a brand new Dark Conspiracy in 2026.

In the meantime, you can find the original Dark Conspiracy PDF titles on our website: Dark Conspiracy of the Past

Interesting, I only recently learned off this RPG. Sounds intriguing!

I can't say this wasn't a dark horse as I haven't played the game in about thirty years. I'm looking forward to seeing what you guys put out there.

So.. Cadillacs and Dinosaurs when?

Huh I could have sworn this went to Free League a while back via the Twilight: 2000 connection.

Very interested in what Mongoose does with it regardless though.

'Dark Conspiracy is set in the United States of the early 21st century after a "Greater Depression" has destroyed the global economy and left many countries isolated and bankrupt.'

At the time it seemed pretty implausible. The past is alien territory.

So.. Cadillacs and Dinosaurs when?

Miller can't sell that license by himself. Mongoose might be willing to throw enough money at Mark Schultz (or whoever owns the rights to the Xenozoic Tales IP) to get the rights to do an RPG - but, y'know, there's all that stuff in the real world headlines happening and just staying in business is likely to be a challenge.

For those who may be interested there is a long-established Dark Conspiracy Fans group on Facebook so look us up over there if you want
I also maintain a DC Fans Bluesky account where I post links to things that relate to RPGs in the conspiracy-horror-cyberpunk-weirdness genres, although there's not much on there at the moment. Maybe we can build that up a bit.

Now to seriously consider if it's worthwhile resurrecting my old fanzine idea.

Cheers!
