A folk horror incursion for Trophy Dark. Venture into the dark and irascible forest in search of the rumoured Agathis Tree and the secrets it holds. Loosely inspired by the near total decimation of the Kauri forests in New Zealand as a result of European colonisation, along with the Kauri tree’s profound place in Māori mythology. Content warnings abound, so make sure to play responsibly.
gothHoblin’s Lycanthropy Lineages (5E)
Recently launched
Thirteen distinct lineages and six thematic feats for 5E. Brings lycanthropy to player characters in a manner that feels fulfilling and meaningful, with both traditional lycanthropes such as werewolves and werebears through to folkloric shapeshifters such as the water horse. Far more than just monsters, characters of these lineages are not the untamed, fearsome creatures of legend, but instead are nuanced and capable adventurers who have learned to take advantage of whatever comes their way..

A standalone horror RPG published by Handiwork Games, FiveEvil is designed to evoke the horror genre via a set of clever twists on the 5E ruleset, subverting these familiar rules to defy expectations and intensify the horror. Contains five ready-to-play horror scenarios!
