Sickest Witch Bundle | Sickest Witch | Sickest Witch: Player's Guide | Sickest Witch: Blood Property by Severed Books
- SYSTEM: OSR
- PRODUCT TYPE: bundle of three books/hardcover core rulebook/softcover supplements
- RETAIL PRICE: $78/$39.95/$19.95/$17.95
- DESCRIPTION: The Sickest Witch Bundle is powered by a dark, low-fantasy system set in a world of folk horror. There are no dragons or fairies. Demonology is prevalent among the poor common folk who populate the towns. Black magic, plague, and famine are routine. The PCs are Witches made up of Oracles (Witch abilities) that are tested against Obstacles. PCs harvest organs and imbue them with powers. Includes three books all available separately as well. Sickest Witch includes: rules, world map with 13 large locations, lore and backstory, over 100 Sickest Witch and NPC spells, dozens of common and rare weapons, social ranks, crafting, 10 random encounters, a name generator, and an adventure. The Sickest Witch: Player's Guide provides what an average Witch in Black Branch would know. Most of the rules are not in this book. Covers: system terms, core classes, starting equipment, both common and rare weapons, magic rules and spell lists (levels one through 8), resting rules, and a character sheet and coven sheet. Sickest Witch: Blood Property is a low-level adventure intended to be played after playing the intro adventure, ideally after the PCs have leveled up. People in the village of Half Leaf who do not want to convert are being transformed into creatures who will obey with the promise of being turned back to humans. The PCs have an opportunity to help strangers, collect special loot like Stained Salt Hooks, and may learn that the monsters are actually transformed villagers and have a chance to change them back.
