Fatherfog 0e - Fairytale Horror RPG

Fatherfog is a fairytale horror roleplaying game about ordinary people trying to survive in a world where the old stories are true and the Fog has rolled in. You are not the hero of the tale. You are the worker, the beggar, the stranger passing through, and the cautionary folklore your grandmother kept repeating is the closest thing you have to a survival guide.

Designed by Alan Gerding, one of the minds behind Mothership, the game runs on the Bit system: a d100 engine where a bad roll chips away at your Hope. Witness enough horror and you reach Despair, the point where a character breaks. The Guide never rolls dice, so all the tension sits with the players and the choices they make in the dark.

You take one of four roles, the Worker, the Philosopher, the Stranger or the Hunter, each defined by what they carry and how they prepared. Character creation is quick, the rules are lethal, and a session can start minutes after you open the book.

This zero edition packs everything into 63 zine-sized pages: character creation, equipment, monsters and a guide section that gets you playing straight away. A good pick if you like the pressure of Mothership or the bleak tone of Mork Borg, but want your horror wrapped in fairytale cloth.
