Eldritchwood

About this game

In this original, solo, folk horror adventure game set in Medieval times that never were, you do not control a single character, but all the 36 Notables of Eldritchwood. Like a storyteller, you weave a story of relationships, daring actions, deadly combat and difficult choices, moving from one character to the next as the story unfolds. Hunt foul beasts like the Tatzelwurm or the Basilisk, meet supernatural entities like the Dust or Blackheart the Prince of Rats, learn magic from grimoires, socialize during events and festivities, get married, run from the Inquisition, and above all fight the evil that is threatening the lives and sanity of the good folks of Eldritchwood. To play, you need this book, a pair of standard six-sided dice, a pencil, and a planner to keep track of events and dates. —description from the designer
