Day of the Newsletter, NIGHT OF THE HOGMEN
Hello, you.
Jim Rossignol here at the controls of our delightful newsletter, where we’ll be talking about tabletop RPGs and stuff related to our forthcoming project, TEETH.
Yes, @MarshDavies and I are producing a book. It is going to be a campaign-length tabletop RPG, with dice and maps and all that good stuff, and it is going to be called TEETH.
(Artist’s impression.)
Our work has been based on the Forged In The Dark ruleset, which is a thing we’re totally going to be talking about in this newsletter, and on the blog. TEETH is a total conversion of our own, with a version of that excellent Blades In The Dark ruleset engineered for our setting. Thematically, TEETH is an 18th-century “grotesque”, set in and around a few valleys in the north of England, all of which have been cordoned off by King George’s authority, and where the boundary between our world and Others has grown thin. A sort “Jane Austen’s S.T.A.L.K.E.R.”, some might say. Not us, though, we would never be so crude.
TEETH is coming later in 2021, but you can get your hands on some other steaming TEETH content today.
NIGHT OF THE HOGMEN
Before the book arrives we are going to release a handful of downloadable standalone adventures based on the setting. The first of these is NIGHT OF THE HOGMEN and it is available RIGHT NOW: teethrpg.itch.io/night-of-the-hogmen
NIGHT OF THE HOGMEN is a single-session, standalone table-top roleplaying game for 3-5 people. The players portray hapless travellers, forced to flee from a ravening horde of hogmen during one grim and grisly night in a cursed corner of 18th-century England. We expect squeals of horror and delight!
(There’s no physical pamphlet yet, but there will be.)
HOGMEN is both an introduction to our setting, and a complete standalone adventure. There will be two more to follow, each of which explores quite different scenarios within the TEETH universe, and each with their own unique playbooks and related rules.
Then, later in 2021, we will be launching a Kickstarter to fund production of the full-length TEETH book, which will be a ~360pp hardback written by myself and @MarshDavies, furnished with Marsh’s illustrations and supporting with maps, encounter tables, playbooks, floorplans, and more! We spent a large part of last year making this happen, and the book is almost complete.
(Sign up for this very newsletter for notifications on the TEETH book happening!)
Anyway. Exciting. And if all this whets your appetite for cursed pies, then you can buy NIGHT OF THE HOGMEN right now! Please do, because Marsh and I have expensive tastes.
It’s PWYW but we would ask for a contribution of just $5!
