Johnny Rook Games is proud to present their 4th Revised Reprint Kickstarter: Of Hunger and Lies
An OSRIC/OSE murder mystery adventures for 4-8 characters of levels 3-6.
A creature stalks the streets of Westgate Town, feasting on the humble and brave alike! The locals believe a werewolf is preying on the ward and hire a famed lycanthrope hunter to seek out and defeat the beast before it strikes again!
But then things take a turn...
The clues don't add up, the citizens tell half-truths, and tensions are high. Maybe your are not seeking a werewolf at all but something far more sinister? Can you solve these grisly murders in time and save the folk of Westgate Town? This is no easy task, for this killer is driven by a madness shaped entirely of hunger and lies!
Of Hunger and Lies is, at its heart, a medieval-gaslight and investigation-horror story that takes place entirely in a ward of a single large town. A series of murders is happening, night after night, and the party is hired to assist a local monster hunter in tracking down and defeating the monster. Unfortunately for the party, there are very few clues to go on and as their search continues, more and more mysteries unfold.
The adventure contains a large gazetteer of Westgate Town, including a large fold-out map of the ward in which the murders are happening, and brief descriptions of almost 200 locations and 100+ NPCs. Player characters can seek out clues wherever they like in a very free-form fashion. Additionally, while some NPCs have set clues that they already know, a huge list of local rumors and clues allows the GM to randomly determine (or choose) what any random NPC might know, which changes the investigation's trail with every play. When the murderer strikes, the GM can use the pre-established victims or may select from a victim table at random, making some fun variations in repeat plays. Not even the GM may know who knows what or who the next victim will be!
Also included in this Kickstarter are limited run Westgate Adventures! dice sets and cool Johnny Rook shot glasses! If you missed our last three Kickstarters, you can pick up all previous books while supplies last!
Back us today! Game on!
