The competition to establish colonies on the Moon is intensifying, with NASA's Moonbase Theta being one of several inhabited stations on the dark side of the Moon. The crew is made up of scientists who spend their days conducting experiments and mining. The only things beyond the Habitat walls are rocks, vacuum, and the distant specks of life that are other moon bases, including some belonging to rival foreign powers. Everyone on the base has been away from home for months, and the boredom and cramped quarters are wearing on them. However, their spirits are lifted when they discover that they are well-positioned to observe asteroid 69230 Hermes as it passes by Earth in November.

For those who enjoy horror and mystery, a live-action role-playing game set in the far future is being offered at the Shining Cliff Youth Hostel in Derbyshire. This game, titled "Dark Side of the Moon," takes place from November 17th to 19th, 2023 and costs £129, which can be paid in three monthly installments of £43. Bookings are now open, but there are only two spaces left, so act fast! The deposit is non-refundable, and bookings are on a first-come, first-served basis. If there is enough interest, the game may be offered again in the future.

All of the players in the game are NASA scientists and support crew, and players are encouraged to spend some of their character build points on Science. The referees will assign in-character roles based on the players' skill choices. PCs will be responsible for group cooking and washing up on a rotating basis, and costume requirements are minimal: grey trousers/leggings, a plain grey sweatshirt, a fleece bodywarmer or jacket, and a spare pair of wellies or rigger boots for the spacesuit.

Dark Side of the Moon is a Mythos/Weird Horror/SF game, and character survival is not guaranteed. The game runs for 24 hours a day, but there will be no ref-driven plot during core sleeping hours. Physical combat is likely, but it is not the primary threat to players' characters. Shining Cliff is an independent hostel that has been used by Dark Door on several occasions in the past. It is a small, modern building on a single floor that is only accessible on foot. Once the game starts, players will not need to leave the hostel until Time Out. Spacesuits will be provided for short "moonwalks." The cramped and claustrophobic conditions of the hostel are part of the in-character atmosphere, and single-gender sleeping rooms cannot be guaranteed.
