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.

Alex has finished his work on the Blight's Hollow campaign chapters, so they'll be going into formatting soon, which is the last chapters before we can release the PDF and get ready for printing - look forward to an early Christmas present this December.

Just a quick update to say that hiring Alex has been an extremely good decision, not only for the work he's doing on the chapters he's working on, but for his immense knowledge of Carved from Brindlewood and suggestions on the text as it stands. Looking forward to you seeing what he's working on.
Actually, he's not sinister. He's really nice.
To help us get the last couple of chapters across the finish line and deliver a project we can all be proud of and you will love, we've brought on an extra pair of hands. We're delighted to announce that Alex Rybitski will be doing some additional writing on Blight's Hollow.
For those of you who don't know Alex, he is knee-deep in Carved from Brindlewood, the system that Blight's Hollow runs on, having worked with the Gauntlet on their games Public Access, The Between and the upcoming Cthulhu meets 1970s journalists game, Arkham Herald. We couldn't have got a better person to work on this.
Everyone meet in the forest glade at midnight to welcome Alex to Blight's Hollow. Bring masks.
Just a quick update to say we're still working on the final chapter of Blight's Hollow, and this is the chapter on the town itself that will glue the whole thing together so we're taking some extra time to make sure everything is just right. Thanks for bearing with us!
Oli also had a meeting with the carpenter who's going to be building the collector's boxes and all is progressing well there!
More updates soon,
The Blight's Hollow Team
