The Woods at Blight's Hollow - Folk Horror & Fairy Tales RPG

Created by Sinister Beard Games

Are you sitting comfortably? Then I'll begin. The Woods at Blight's Hollow is a folk horror tabletop roleplaying game of mystery and imagination illustrated by Corey Brickley (Penguin, Disney, Harper Collins) and written by Oli Jeffery (Quietus, Extreme Meatpunks Forever, Trophy). It concerns the children of Blight’s Hollow, an isolated village surrounded by a trackless forest in a time before electricity and radio, a world of hearthside tales and nights to be feared. Inspired by the works of Guillermo Del Toro, Angela Carter, The Brothers Grimm, Kirsty Logan and Mary Shelley amongst others, this is a tabletop roleplaying game of the darkest fairy tales and the queerest folk-horror.

It Begins...

Hey everyone,

US printing and distribution has finally been sorted, which was the last sticking spot for us. Thank you for bearing with us while we got this crucial last step down. 

This means that within the next few days we will be reaching out to all of you to collect shipping costs for physical rewards. This site will also act as a pre-sales venue for anyone who missed the Kickstarter and wants a copy. Books will be being printed while the pre-sales site runs for about 4 weeks, after which they'll be sent out. Our printers will also be handling our shipping, so there shouldn't be any further delay.

Again, thank you for bearing with us and we look forward to getting your rewards out to you in the next few weeks! We'll do another announcement when the pre-sales and shipping site is live, which will be handled via Backerkit.

Love and kisses and swamps and curses,

The Blight's Hollow Team.

Hi all, just a quick update this month. Thank you to everyone who submitted proofing notes - we're currently working through all of them, and boring business stuff like printers and distribution houses. Will be in contact again when we have something more exciting to report!

Blight's Hollow is here!

I hope everyone had a good time over the holidays! The proofing of Blight's Hollow took a little while longer than planned, and is now complete, but there are still a few sections that need a more significant rewrite than I'd expected, so I'm working on that now.
