The war is over. The banners have fallen. But something was left behind.
In PITCHFORK Extended, you play ordinary people – blacksmiths, healers, shepherds – forced to stand against something that should not exist. A creature stitched together from war’s deadliest weapons – a thing of armor, claw, and hunger – has wandered into your home. And no one is coming to save you.
No heroes. No magic swords. Just survival.
PITCHFORK is a folk horror RPG built on a narrative-first system inspired by PbtA, FitD, and minimalist frameworks like Cthulhu Dark. It uses a facet-based mechanic, where the environment itself becomes part of the struggle – deep mud slows your escape, the flickering lantern barely holds back the dark, and the burning barn might be your only chance to stop the monster.
It launched on Kickstarter a few days ago and was fully funded in 25 hours. Yesterday, we just smashed our third stretch goal, reaching over 200% funding, and that means PITCHFORK Extended is now bigger and better than ever. Here’s what we’re delivering so far:
If you love folk horror, low fantasy survival, and narrative-driven RPGs, now is the perfect time to jump in.
Thanks!

- 24 pages packed with even more content, mechanics, and survival tools.
- A heavier, matte-laminated cover for extra durability.
- More art from Steven De Waele (@stonedrunkwizard), capturing the eerie beauty of the Lower Princedoms.
- Shadow of Salt – a brand-new printed playset! As a follow-up scenario that takes your villagers beyond their own home, this pamphlet playset takes your PCs traveling to help a neighboring village in need.
