In the dark of night, The Host broadcasts strange and frightening tales from the outskirts of Black Hills - a secret town somewhere in the U.S.A. The small town of Black Hills is beset by strange and horrific occurrences. A hotbed for supernatural activity, Black Hills Radio is the sole word of sanity in the night. Things go bump every single night and it is up to you, the players, to decide what happens next. If you like shows like the Kirlian Frequency or podcasts like Welcome to Night Vale then this game is for you. Its fucking weird. You'll love it. How It Works The game begins with the Broadcast. The Host (GM) and the Players hold a conversation and decide on the night's Headlines and News. From there, the players will dive into scenes that place the Cast of Characters up against horrific strangeness such as shapeshifting mosquito vampires, floating eyeballs that demand worship and strange obelisks. Sooner or later, the Cast begins to break down as the horrors of the town begin to take their toll. As the Cast slowly slides into gibbering insanity, the night's Broadcast wears on until either the horror wins the night, or dawn welcomes a little sanity and the Players can rest for the day.

EVERYTHING CHANGED WHEN THE BOMBS DROPPED... We always expected that we would die slaves to the system at a ripe old age, or at the very least as victims of the global climate crisis or the ant-vaxxer movement. What we didn't expect was for one event - just a few moments - to bring about the end of everything we knew. In just a few minutes, everyone we loved was dead. The world would never be the same. We became citizens of The World After. Teenage Wasteland is a coming-of-age game about kids struggling to survive and come into their own in a bomb-ravaged nuclear and biological wasteland. These kids must not only struggle against each other, but also deadly mutated creatures and mindless, zombie-like Ghouls that adults became after the bombs fell. The game focuses on growth and development from kids toward adulthood, and all of the drama and conflict that comes with it as well as the struggle to simply survive in a world ravaged by biological weaponry and nuclear fallout. Included are: Five Unique Clique Types. Detailed within are the physically tough Jock, the socially ineffable Mean Girl, the intensely intellectual Nerd, the charismatic Popular kid and the mysterious Outsider. Each comes with unique powers, gear, and advancement rules suited to their role. Tribe Creation Rules. Inside are rules to create a unique gang type called Tribe. Imagine a high school clique, only far more dangerous and with little to no accountability or supervision. Streamlined Powered by the Apocalypse: Teenage Wasteland System. A super-minimized, complete system that emphasizes player decisions, non-binary successes, and is geared for adventuring and delving into the dark. Intended for single sessions or short campaigns. 3-5 Players (including GM) 2-4 Hours per session Low Prep. Medium Complexity.

A classic tale of terror and grotesquerie by the original master of horror H. P. Lovecraft proclaimed his Dunwich Horror "so fiendish" that his editor at Weird Tales "may not dare to print it." The editor, fortunately, knew a good thing when he saw it. One of the core Cthulhu stories, The Dunwich Horror introduces us to the grim village of Dunwich, where each member of the Whateley family is more grotesque than the other. There's the grandfather, a mad old sorcerer; Lavinia, the deformed, albino woman; and Wilbur, a disgusting specimen who reaches full manhood in less than a decade. And above all, there's the mysterious presence in the farmhouse, unseen but horrifying, which seems to be growing . . . Wilbur tracks down an original edition of the Necronomicon and breaks into a library to steal it. But his reward eludes him: he gets caught, and the result is death by guard dog. Meanwhile, left unattended, the monster at the Whateley house keeps expanding, until the farmhouse explodes and the beast is unleashed to terrorize the poor, aggrieved village of Dunwich. As chilling today as it was upon its publication in 1929, The Dunwich Horror is a horrifying masterwork by the man Stephen King called "the twentieth century's greatest practitioner of the classic horror tale."
