We are going to tell a story together. The story of a lone individual stumbling upon clues to a terrible evil. At first they dismiss it, but piece by piece a picture emerges, until suddenly it becomes impossible to deny. They plunge into shadow, they recoil in horror, but it is already too late. The horrifying truth is laid bare and they are consumed by darkness.
Lovecraftesque is a GMless tabletop game that creates a compelling cosmic horror tale in a single session of play.
2-5 players each share control of a single character who is the witness to the terrible horror you will create, and each contribute to the horror itself.
Lovecraftesque has exciting scenarios by authors like Ken Hite (The Dracula Dossier), Jonathan Sims (The Magnus Archives) and Lynne Hardy (Call Of Cthulhu). Or you can build your own setting at the table using the game’s core deck.
It can be played solo or with a group of 2-5 players.
Lovecraftesque is a great pick-up or convention game, telling a complete story in around 2 hours, with zero prep required.
The Lovecraftesque core box includes:
• Two rulebooks containing the game’s core rules and extras such as solo and legacy play;
• 175 cards, including a core deck of hundreds of creative prompts to power your game, and six unique scenarios bringing new settings and characters to the eldritch horror genre;
• Gorgeous full-colour art by Vincent Sammy and Paul Tomes;
• Cool hidden illustrations throughout the box, board and rulebooks, which is revealed using a UV/blacklight flashlight, included with the game.
The mighty castles and sprawling cities of Rokugan are merely tiny islands of civilization in the vast wilderness that surrounds and envelops the Emerald Empire. From the dark and haunted depths of the Shinomen Mori forest to the sharp and icy peaks of the Great Wall of the North mountains, these ancient and wild lands hold countless dangers for the unwary. Only the wise samurai of the Dragon Clan embrace their writ to live in the wilds, and create the bridge between this world and civilization.
Writ of the Wilds explores the wilds of Rokugan, as well as the mysterious Dragon clan who makes these lands their home. In this sourcebook for the Legend of the Five Rings Roleplaying Game, you will find exciting new information on gaming in the Rokugani wilderness and the territories of the Dragon, including:
Tales of the strange beings and spirits that haunt the Shinomen Mori, and the various cultures and species that live outside of Rokugan’s society.
Rules for the Dragonfly minor clan, plus new schools, kiho, kata, and rituals designed to bring the monastic culture of the Dragon to your game. You also gain access to rules for playing new non-human species such as Shinomen Nezumi, Naga, and Tengu, and also playing members of the Yobanjin Groups who live in the Great Wall of the North.
A wealth of information on temples and monasteries, and GM support on how to include these settings in your game.
