[QUOTE="Jon Hodgson, post: 9076335, member: 6958660"] [IMG]https://i.ibb.co/vztPBJq/Five-Evil-Square500.jpg[/IMG] [URL='https://handiwork.games/fiveevil.html'][I]FiveEvil[/I][/URL] is a set of new roleplaying rules from [URL='https://handiwork.games/']Handiwork Games[/URL], slated for release later this year. [I]FiveEvil[/I] is designed to evoke the horror genre via a set of clever twists on the underlying fifth edition ruleset. The primary focus is modern day horror, inspired by the work of Stephen King, and moody, character-driven horror films like [I]The Ritual[/I], [I]The Descent[/I] and [I]Jacob’s Ladder[/I], alongside mini-series like [I]Midnight Mass[/I] by Mike Flanagan, and the scariest of [I]Twin Peaks[/I] episodes. Rather than seeking out evil in order to vanquish it, or investigating clues to battle malign influence, characters in [I]FiveEvil[/I] are regular people trapped in a terrifying situation where fighting isn’t likely to help. There are also plans afoot to cast a wider net with scenarios set in different eras: a key feature of [I]FiveEvil[/I] is the ease with which it creates settings and scenarios woven together. [I]FiveEvil[/I] was created and written by Morgan Davie, features art by Scott Purdy, Jon Hodgson and friends, and boasts graphic design and layout by Paul Bourne. Morgan Davie, FiveEvil Designer: [I]“I love 5e and I love horror gaming and in FiveEvil we get to push both of them somewhere unprecedented. [/I][URL='https://handiwork.games/games/astate'][I]a|state[/I][/URL][I] has shown we love exploring new pathways with beloved game systems, and this one is heading into wild new places.

I love it, and I can't wait for us to share it!" Closed play tests are complete, and we will be inviting play testers to the next round of testing soon.
