Description

The Bleakness offers a uniquely immersive horror experience. Players assume the role of pilgrims, struggling to survive on an ancient road fraught with danger and mysteries. The Bleakness is a table top RPG system, campaign setting, and detailed adventure all bound in one text. Gritty survival mechanics and the threat of the unknown create a high-tension game like no other.

There are truths hidden in the space between the alien and the familiar. Unveiled while telling and retelling stories of heroes lost in cold and unforgiving lands, alone save for vanquished terrors behind and the unknown lurking ahead. This book was inspired by many disparate sources, including its greatest and some what surprising inspiration, John Bunyan s The Pilgrim s Progress.

In addition to standard in person play, this book includes instructions for playing by post.
