In Hieronymous, you play a group of refugees fleeing an astral terror known only as the Follower. As it pursues you, you rip your way through reality into strange worldscapes inspired by the paintings of the medieval artist Hieronymous Bosch, the Follower only a few steps behind. What will happen when it catches up to you? What strange worlds will it tear apart in its pursuit? Is there a way home? Hieronymous is a Forged in the Dark hexcrawl game inspired by the work of the medieval artist Hieronymous Bosch. Featuring printable, bookmark sized playbooks featuring Bosch's art.And seven dungeon-worldscapes based on Bosch's paintings. All art is public domain.

"A general feeling of impending calamity hangs over all. Perpetual danger prevails everywhere […] The feeling of general insecurity which was caused by the chronic forms wars were apt to take, by the constant menace of the dangerous classes, by the mistrust of justice, was further aggravated by the obsession of the coming end of the world, and by the fear of hell, of sorcerers and of devils […] Everywhere the flames of hatred arise and injustice reigns. Satan covers a gloomy earth with his sombre wings." -Jonathan Huizinga, The Waning of the Middle Ages
