Null
ANOMALY DETECTED
Null is an action packed tabletop RPG designed using the LUMEN system. In it, you play as Operators of NET, an organization formed 5 years ago to fight back the wave of sentient nanotechnology rapidly rewriting our world and eliminating life as we know it.
Your Operators will graft technology to themselves, and dive into Anomalies, nanotech hellscapes that herald the rapid integration of our world into the machine network. At the heart of every Anomaly is the Root, and it's up to you to get in there and shut it down.
NULL is designed for one shots, and so combines the fast paced combat of the LUMEN system with the "play to lose" concept made popular by games like Trophy Dark. Your Operators of NET are unlikely to return from this perilous mission, and those that do are forever changed. See how far you can push into the Anomaly, and try to destroy the Root before you're lost!
HOW IT'S PLAYED
NULL uses the LUMEN system, which is focused on fast paced, action packed combat, with rules light enough to keep the game always moving forward. If you're unfamiliar with LUMEN, you can learn all about it here.
NULL is played in a single session. Each player will create an Operator, choosing a class and 3 nanotech powers to graft onto their bodies. When they are ready, the Operators will dive into the Anomaly.
Anomalies are made of a series of rooms, representing large sections of the buildings that the nanotech drones are attempting to integrate. Each room has an objective the Operators must complete before they move on.
After clearing a room, Operators get a moment to rest in Safe Zones, and possible upgrade their weapons or powers to increase the likelihood of survival.

At Third Eye, we ship thousands of comics every week, and we know condition matters. Whether you're reading, collecting, or grading, we want you to feel confident when a Third Eye package arrives.
This policy outlines our standard for new release and shipped comics, and the industry-standard guidelines we follow.
OUR STANDARD
Books without a stated grade will be offered as Near Mint 9.4 or better. We do not guarantee 9.8 condition on any book unless specifically noted.
We use industry-standard grading guidelines from:
- CBCS Comic Grading Scale
- Overstreet Comic Grading Standards
- CGC grading standards
If you're new to comic grading, the resources above are a great place to start.
WHY WE DON'T GUARANTEE 9.8
Modern comic printing is an imperfect process. Books are printed in massive
runs, bound at high speed, and shipped in bulk to retailers. Even brand
new books off the truck will exhibit minor production characteristics,
and that's normal, and consistent with industry standards across every
retailer.
A 9.8 grade represents near-perfection, and the reality is that not every printed book qualifies for that grade no matter where you buy it from.
We can absolutely commit to NM 9.4 or better. We cannot commit to 9.8 on every book, because that's not how comics are made.
WHAT QUALIFIES AS NM 9.4
Per industry standards, a book may exhibit the following minor characteristics and still grade as Near Mint 9.4, as long as there's no accumulation of defects:
Bindery characteristics:
- Minor to moderate corner tears
- White edges along the spine (common on most modern printings)
- Covers slightly offset from interior pages (common on cardstock covers)
Printing characteristics:
- Slight color rub on back covers
- Small paper wrinkles present from the paper roll prior to printing
- Wavy paper texture from the printing process
Spine characteristics:
- 2-3 small color-breaking spine ticks
- Minor non-color-breaking spine dings
These are normal modern production characteristics, not damage from handling or shipping. They are present on books across the industry, regardless
of retailer.
OUR RETURN & EXCHANGE POLICY
We do not accept returns or exchanges on books that meet our NM 9.4 or better standard.
We will replace or refund:
- Books damaged during shipping (clear shipping damage, not pre-existing print characteristics)
- Books that fall below NM 9.4 standard (significant spine damage, major creasing, tears, etc.)
- Wrong cover or wrong issue shipped
For premium variants (1:25, 1:50, 1:100, 1:250, 1:500 incentive covers, signed editions, exclusive variants), we apply enhanced QC during pull and packing. If a premium variant arrives outside our standard, contact us within 7 days of delivery and we will work with you on a replacement.
