English Eerie (Second Edition) $7.85

English Eerie (Second Edition): $7.85

Publisher: Trollish Delver Games

English Eerie Second Edition: A Rural Horror Storytelling Game for 1-4 Players is a GM-less tabletop game of terrifying proportions, allowing you to weave your own haunted tales set in the dark English countryside.

There is blood in the roots of England. Forgotten, ancient things crawl beneath its surface, haunt its manor houses and creep within its woodland. Beyond the bucolic beauty of its rolling hills and quaint villages are sinister forces at work, and you're about to stumble headlong into them.

English Eerie uses the Eerie Engine system to help players, solo or a group, to step into the shoes of a protagonist from a classic horror tale, like those written by the likes of M.R James, Arthur Machen and Algernon Blackwood, as well as the folk horror tradition. Using the scenarios in the book you will uncover new disturbing clues, clash with other characters and succumb to the dread forces as you delve further into their mysteries. The system automatically ratchets up the tension as you go, with your protagonist becoming more helpless as the tale progresses.

Alone by Candlelight

As a solo game you are the protagonist, writing in your journal by candlelight over a series of evenings recounting the day's events just like in those great tales of terror. You create your protagonist using a series of desciptors and prompts, bringing these into play as the mystery unfolds.

Campfire Stories

As a group you tell the tale orally, all playing as a single protagonist. Turns pass around the circle as you describe the situation, react to cards pulled from the Story Deck and spend resources to determine the ending of the story. The book includes advice on safety mechanics - because your idea of horror might not be the same as everyone else.

The Eerie Engine

To power the game you will use a Story Deck, which can be a regular deck of cards or the official English Eerie Story Deck. Each card is related to a scene, which is cross-referenced with the scenario to discover what new plot element unfolds. Everytime a Grey Lady is revealed the tension increases and decisions need to be made. The protagonist uses Spirit and Resolve resources to overcome obstacles and horrors in their way - but they must be spent wisely for the fate of your protagonist hangs in the balance.

An Open Game

English Eerie Second Edition is released under a creative commons sharealike license, meaning you can design and release your own hacks and scenarios.

Scenarios

English Eerie contains 10 scenarios spanning multiple centuries. From stories of fell beasts on the moor, a haunted inn, a futuristic biome, a dark god and more. There's plenty of content to keep yourself busy for many evenings.

Note: The softcover version and card deck will be coming soon.  If you have bought a pdf, you will get 25% off the softcover version with proof of purchase.

ILL-FATED [Free]

ILL-FATED [Free]:

dNNHBt.jpeg


ILL-FATED is a collection of micro roleplaying games where, to put it simply, nobody is making it out alive. The micro-rpgs that you'll find within this collection are all designed with the idea of giving players agency over an aspect of their characters that most games simply leave to chance, namely their untimely end. All of the games that will be found under the ILL-FATED umbrella are setting-agnostic, one-shot, accessible, and deeply rooted in a guiding theme. Currently, there is only one game included in the collection, but more will be added as time passes. Games included in this build:

Evil Eye

Civilization lies behind you, the unknown looms like a vast and gaping wound before you. Something in the unknown calls to you, whether vast cyclopean ruins, some forgotten derelict, or something else. Whether you stand before this threshold out of desperation, duty or determination, you don't stand alone. Whether or not you intended to do this with fellows, with fellows it shall be done. Before the threshold can be crossed, however, something or someone blocks your path. It may be a wizened and ancient crone, an unnatural monolith of unknowable origins, or something else altogether. Regardless of the form it takes, something about this obstacle draws your gaze as you pass it by, if only for a second.

 While your gaze is affixed, you are gifted a flash of knowledge that crashes into your mind with the weight of truth and certainty. You enter the unknown with this revelation wracking your body and mind, having been granted the briefest view into your own future...or at the very least how it will end.

Among Farmers [Free]

Among Farmers [Free]:

XDDinE.png


Among Farmers is a work of tactical agriculture. It is a game to be played literally, ideologically, and affectionately. To play, our thought must be engaged concretely, materially, in everyday experience: in our bodies, in our worlds, and with our others.

A LARP, an RPG, a set of principles for direct action—Among Farmers takes its queues from a diverse array of sources. Errico Malatesta's anarcho-communism, Herman Melville's Billy Budd, Sailor, the Green Armies of the Russian Civil War, Robert Cover's legal criticism, Wendell Berry's land-community, Avery Alder and Benjamin Rosenbaum's "no dice, no masters," and the economic critiques of policing and incarceration from Cedric Johnson, John Clegg and Adaner Usmani, and Dutin Guastella.

The game itself is ultra-minimal, formatted to fit on a single business-card. The accompanying essay provides the game with its theoretical framework and with sources for further reading. It is printable in both letter and half-letter zine format. To print the zine, select "booklet" and "both sides" in your print options.

Problem Child [$5.00]

Problem Child [$5.00]:

%2BnisOT.jpg


Your land is in trouble, fortunately you are the monarch! Unfortunately this does mean you need to solve it. And to solve it, you need someone else's resources. Fortunately, marriage alliances are common, and you have a child just waiting to be married off to solve all your problems.

Unfortunately, your child has a glaring problem. Fortunately, theirs does too.

 You can probably work this out.

A play by mail game, where two parties attempt to negotiate a marriage between their strange children. Write letters to each other, attempting to determine a time and place for the ceremony. Or decide it's more trouble than it's worth, and call the whole thing off. With 100 potential problems, your negotiations are going to be unique.

The Accessible Problems file is the same table of problems, but in an alternating color table, it may be easier to tie numbers to problems.

Death Curse

Completely Normal Cat [Free]

Completely Normal Cat [Free]:

After a long day, you come to rest in the comfort of your bed. You are at peace, and so is your cat in the corner of the room. That said, you don’t recall having a cat. At least, not the non-Euclidean one staring at you now. 
Completely Normal Cat is a two-player roleplaying game about a normal person and the eldritch being that happens to be manifesting itself as a cat in their room. As the "cat", your surroundings are unfamiliar and your powers are weak. As the human, something is staring at you in the corner of your room...and you need to learn more about it. Maybe you can even strike up a rapport with it! Conversation will be very difficult without shared language, though, and both parties will have to resort to desperate gestures to get their meaning across.

This game is a submission to the Fucked Up Guy Jam, thanks to Marn S. and Ben Roswell for hosting! Please check out other submissions to the jam.

Torch [Free]

Torch [Free]:

We were handed our independence by surprise. 

The capital received the news on a cloudy night, delivered by a group of messengers carrying a torch. 

As the flame of freedom spread from town to town, a question arose:  could we truly build a shared future?

UCVI6H.png

JCovV9.png

3-9  players ~90 min runtime
Torch is a freeform Live Action Roleplaying game. It was born out of a game design retreat I attend every year in New Jersey, as part of my desire to participate in the Golden Cobra Challenge, a very well known LARP design competition. This game won the Best Multi-Generational Game award at Golden Cobra. The award was announced at Metatopia 2018.

The game puts players in the position of citizens of a country that has been recently granted independence, out of the blue. Players must then travel through time telling the stories of the impact that such an unexpected event has on the country and the individual lives of its citizens, from the Independence Day to 500 years in the future.
