🕯 The One-Shot
Rural Central Europe, sometime in the 1820s. The quiet village of Biterbrunn is uneasy. Strange shapes haunt the tree line. The harvest offering has been refused. The air is heavy with superstition… and something far darker. Here, monsters take on the role of investigators and adventurers, peering into mysteries that ordinary folk dare not face.
🎲 What is Hexingtide?
A rules-lite homage to monster tales from folklore, pulp adventures, and comics, Hexingtide draws from the adventurous tone of Mike Mignola’s Hellboy, the vampires & werewolves of World of Darkness, and the iconic Universal Monsters. Fans of Old Gods of Appalachia, Mary Shelley, Bram Stoker, Edgar Allan Poe, and the Brothers Grimm will feel right at home.
Its collaborate, rules-lite, procedure-focused rules make gameplay snappy and fun.
